Or, if you’ve watched herding competitions, you’ve probably seen a Border Collie controlling the herd. First and foremost, Border Collies are sheep herders.

As I prepared to welcome a Border Collie puppy into my home, I eagerly sought out resources to aid me in understanding and caring for this intelligent breed. "The Complete Guide to Border Collies" by David Anderson seemed like the perfect companion for this journey. However, upon delving into its pages, I found myself sorely disappointed.
This book, while marketed as a comprehensive guide, fell short of my expectations. Its content proved to be rudimentary and lacking in depth, offering little in the way of practical training advice or guidance on settling a new puppy. Instead of providing valuable insights, it read more like a basic pamphlet, with information that failed to leave a lasting impression.
Despite its shortcomings, there was one nugget of wisdom that stood out: the reminder that Border Collies, despite their boundless energy, require breaks to recharge. The advice to incorporate intervals of rest during activities such as running was a valuable takeaway amidst an otherwise forgettable read.
In conclusion, "The Complete Guide to Border Collies" may not be the ideal resource for either new or seasoned dog owners. Its simplistic approach and lack of substantive content make it an underwhelming choice for those seeking comprehensive guidance on caring for this remarkable breed.
