Border collie

One of the most intelligent dogs in the world is the Border Collie. The Border Collie is a medium-sized British herding dog breed. They are descended from landrace sheepdogs that were once found throughout the British Isles but became standardized along the Anglo-Scottish border. They are now mostly used as herding dogs for livestock, particularly sheep.

The Border Collie is a highly intelligent, energetic, acrobatic, and athletic dog. They frequently compete successfully in sheepdog trials as well as a variety of dog sports such as dog obedience, disc dog, herding, and dog agility. They are one of the smartest domestic dog breeds. Border Collies are kept as pets and continue to be employed in their traditional work of herding livestock all over the world.

Compared to many other breeds, Border Collies need a lot more daily mental and physical stimulation. The border collie is frequently cited as the breed of dog with the highest intelligence level. In Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs, the border collie is ranked first among the top 10 smartest canines. Although the border collie's primary function is to herd sheep, the breed is now becoming more and more well-liked as a pet. The American Border Collie Association advises prospective owners to ensure they can provide regular exercise comparable with the collie's tremendous energy and extraordinary stamina before adopting the breed as a home pet. A working collie may cover many kilometers each day while controlling difficult animals with its knowledge, personality, and intellect.
