<p>Vagabond Flow: Created new article</p> <hr /> <div>The '''Border collie''' is a breed of working [[dog]] that originated in the border region between Scotland and England. The breed was bred to herd livestock, particularly [[sheep]], and combines intelligence and agility with a hardy constitution. They are moderately popular within the [[furry fandom]].<br /> <br /> ==Traits==<br /> <br /> As working dogs, border collies were selected for herding ability and stamina, resulting in a wide variation in physical appearance. The colouration most commonly associated with the breed is a distinctive black and white, but many other variations exist, including red and white, brown and white, merle and almost pure black.<br /> Border collies are noted for their extremely high level of intelligence and suitability for training. One border collie, Rico, has been demonstrated to have a functional volcabulary of over 200 words.[http://www.sciencemag.org/feature/data/bloom.pdf] They are also extremely agile, making them good at dog sports.<br /> <br /> Border collies possess a 'herding instinct', a modified form of the hunting instinct, causing them to adopt a characteristic herding pose and fix their target with a penetrating stare. The target, originally sheep, may include [[duck]]s, cars, children, other dogs or even [[bird]]s in the sky. Because of their intelligence and desire to work, they may not make good [[pet]]s for people who can't provide them with enough exercise and mental stimulation.<br /> <br /> ==Furry==<br /> <br /> After [[Husky|huskies]] and [[German Shepherd]]s, border collies are a popular dog breed among the furry [[fandom]], probably because of its familiarity, [[wolf]]like countenance and striking coloration.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> <br /> *[http://bordercollie-fanclub.deviantart.com/ Border collie fanclub on DeviantART]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Dog breeds]]</div>
