Q. Is it OK to keep a Border Collie in my town or city home?
A. As long as you ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise and leads an active stimulated life, we see no particular reason why it shouldn't live in a town or city.
Dogs are incredibly good at adapting to their surroundings - much better than human beings so provided there's a local area where you can let your dog run free without lead or restraint on a daily basis, we don't see the city or town as being a reason not to have a border collie.
Dogs that live in the countryside have to live by certain rules - such as not chasing sheep - but dogs in the city must learn to abide by different rules, such as being on a lead for most of their walking time.
Of course, when the city dog visits the countryside, it must abide by the countryside rules too - so no sheep chasing please.
