Border Collie is a working dog used for herding. The dogs work is the most important and is the part which control the breeding. Border collie is one of the most popular working sheep dogs in the world, but it has also proved to be a good dog in obedience and successful in agility.

Border Collies has strong herding instinct and is not well suited to hold only as a pet because it requires both a lot of exercise and mental stimulation.
