00:00Good day, I'm a Border Collie, frequently referred to as the most intelligent dog in
00:14the world.
00:15I am not a good breed for the novice dog owner as I require constant mental stimulation and
00:20a generous amount of physical exercise to keep me gratified.
00:23If you provide me with the mental and physical nourishment I require, I will behave exceptionally
00:29well around other dogs and children.
00:31If you choose not to meet my needs, I can become destructive and my hurting instincts
00:36may kick in when I am around your children, leading me to nip at their heels.
00:40We were originally known as Scotch Sheepdogs and developed along the border region of England
00:44and Scotland.
00:46We can live between 10 and 17 years.
00:48We average about 20 inches in height and weigh between 30 and 42 pounds.
00:53Overall, we are a very healthy breed, but we are prone to hip dysplasia, eye problems
00:57and epilepsy.
00:59You will find that I am one of the most trainable breeds, excelling at herding, agility training,
01:04performing tricks and sports.
01:06Although I could live in an apartment, I would prefer living in a rural setting, which would
01:11provide me with plenty of space to fulfill my physical and mental needs.
01:16Let's review, I am remarkably intelligent, active and great with families.
01:20I originate from the border region of England and Scotland.
01:23I am a healthy breed living an average of 12 years.
01:26Please remember that without daily physical and mental stimulation, I can become extremely
01:31unhappy and potentially destructive, so please make sure you have enough time for me.
01:36That's all!
