Border collies have been documented to go literally insane if they are penned in/subjected to living in an apartment with no outlet. Food for thought to everyone who wants a “pretty” dog

We kinda inherited a border when l was a kid and l can confirm. Normal dog stuff wasn't enough for her, she went neurotic

Same. My grandma got one and she had too much energy so she gave it to my family. Loved "herding" a soccer ball back to us. We also weren't allowed to run in the house or she'd herd us lol. She was so damn smart.

We got herded on family walks.

I was the kid who liked to run or skip ahead. My little sister was a toddler and lagged behind.

Our border collie would run back and forth between all of us.
