So maybe both these are true...but i wondered if anyone on this forum has experience with Border Collies?

I seem to remember seeing reference to border collies in the .sig of someone
who posts to this "forum". IME they are fine as pets, don't need vast amounts
of exercise, are intelligent, and not vicious. One pet in my youth was a dog
trained to work with cattle and sheep, who hadn't passed the test, being
a little too enthusiastic. If you flung an assortment of articles for him to bring
back, he'd drop them all in the same area, and circle them. One unfortunate
tendency was to get behind guests and try to herd them, too!
