Border Collie puppies for sale in Reading

Border Collies are exceptionally intelligent, energetic, and responsive. They form deep bonds with their handlers and live to work. They can be reserved with strangers and may attempt to herd children, other pets, and even cars if not properly trained. They are best suited to experienced owners who understand their need for mental and physical stimulation.

Border Collies can be prone to hip dysplasia, collie eye anomaly (CEA), epilepsy, and trapped neutrophil syndrome (TNS). Some are sensitive to certain drug compounds. Responsible breeders test for CEA, TNS, hip scores, and MDR1 gene status. They are generally a healthy breed with good longevity.
