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!
