In life, when a person is alone, they often feel lonely. Seeing cute cats and dogs on Douyin, we can't help but have a strong desire to raise cats and dogs. However, as a pet-raising novice, when we initially step into the cat and dog market, we find that raising small animals is not as simple as we imagined. Therefore, the editor recommends raising the adaptable Border Collie.

Things to know before buying a Border Collie:

When purchasing a Border Collie, we must first understand some basic information about Border Collies so that we can take more considerate care of them. The Border Collie is a type of Collie with a strong herding instinct. They are naturally intelligent, good at reading human facial expressions, can understand the owner's thoughts, and through their deterrence, make the sheep move directionally. Having been herding dogs for a long time, they rank first in intelligence among all dog breeds. The most obvious characteristics of Border Collies are wit, strong learning ability, higher understanding than common dogs, easy to train, seamless communication with the owner, complete loyalty, and strong obedience. Whatever the owner says goes. Because of their gentle and loyal nature and their tendency not to bark unnecessarily, they have become people’s favorite dogs.

Border Collie——A Pet Suitable for Beginners

Price of Border Collies:

According to market prices, the normal price for a dog is around 1,000 RMB. However, if the dog's lineage is purer, the price can reach 1,500. So everyone makes their choice, but the editor still suggests buying high lineage dogs since purity matters.

How to take care of the dog daily:

Border Collies have poor self-care ability, so as owners, we need to take good care of them. Regarding diet, the most important thing is to adjust according to their age stage. Puppies need to eat smaller, less, softer food and require calcium supplements. Middle-aged dogs can eat almost anything but need to be fed enough. Senior dogs should eat gentle food in smaller, more frequent meals. It's also important to keep the dog's cleanliness and hygiene. We need to regularly remove shedding hair and trim the dog's fur. If the fur is too long, bacteria and parasites can accumulate on their bodies, leading to skin diseases. Finally, let the dog go out and exercise. Dogs, like people, become sluggish without exercise.

In fact, the money for a Border Collie is not important. What matters is that with their companionship, you can experience the friendship between human and dog.
