Why Is This A Problematic Dog Breed?

A Border Collie needs to be kept VERY active.

They may be prone to epilepsy, but overall this problematic dog breed is an overall healthy and friendly dog.

The issue with them, however, is that they’re a breed that doesn’t adapt very well to the sedentary life of being a pet.

Their brains need to be constantly stimulated, and they WANT to work. If they aren’t kept busy, they can “go a bit batty,” according to vets.

In fact, massive numbers of them have mental health issues because these are dogs who NEED a job.

If you don t have time in your life to put enough into them and to make sure that they’re living their best lives with you, then this adorable breed is NOT for you!
