Border Collies were bred to work livestock. The ability to herd sheep is the primary quality by which a true Border Collie is known. If the intent is to use these characteristics of the breed, attendance at a sheepdog trial is recommended. There you will have a chance to get acquainted with Border Collies owners and some reputable breeders. You will see Border Collies in action and make a final conclusion. At the trial, do talk to Border Collies handlers. You will get a clear-cut idea of what it takes to commit yourself to a Border Collie.
It is better to buy a Border Collie from a breeder of working dogs. This ensures that the breeder is constantly working on preserving and improving all its working qualities from generation to generation. Knowing the puppy's background is as important as making sure it doesn't have any genetic diseases.
The American Border Collie Association registers and verifies the pedigrees. It also promotes trials as a perfect way of the breed exposition and development.
Border Collies Rescues - Where Not to Buy
Pet stores usually sell pups from puppy mills or backyard breeders. The fact is that reputable breeders don't need to sell their purebred puppies to pet shops. They are interested in handing them to people who are aware of the responsibility and are ready to commit themselves to raising and then handling the dog.
Backyard breeders are more interested in the profit. Therefore, you can't expect them to care for the puppies once they are purchased. Moreover, perfect health and temperament as well as an impressive pedigree list are not guaranteed.
It may be cheaper to buy puppies from puppy mills. However, great are the chances that you won't find what you are looking for in such a puppy. Border Collies are very special dogs and their highly valued working dog features deserve careful consideration on the part of the breeder.
