The border collie, the most popular breed of sheepdog in the UK, has been used as a working dog for more than two hundred years. The dog's mild nature, its intelligence and agility, as well as the innate instinct it has for gathering sheep into a flock, make it ideally suited to working with these animals.

Breed of sheepdog originating in the Borders region of Scotland and still much prized as a versatile working dog with a powerful herding instinct. It has a smooth or fairly long, dense, black and white coat and stands about 53 cm/21 in tall.
