Roman livestock dogs and Viking spitz type dogs were combined to create what we now know as the Border Collie. The UKC recognized the border collie in 1961, and the AKC and CKC in 1995. . Border Collies are known to be an intense, intelligent, and very high energy breed, which can lead to destructive, neurotic, and unfortunately biting behavior if not given enough outlets. They are known to be aloof toward strangers. #BorderCollie #purebred #border #collie #dog
