To get a healthy dog, never buy a puppy from an irresponsible breeder, puppy mill, or pet store. Look for a reputable breeder who tests her breeding dogs to make sure they're free of genetic diseases that they might pass onto the puppies, and that they have sound temperaments.
The Border Collie doesn't usually roam, but his curiosity and intelligence can lead him to become an escape artist.
The noisy play of young children can stimulate the Border Collie's herding instinct and cause him to nip, nudge, and bark.
The Border Collie will herd anything that moves, including children, cars, people on bikes, cats, and squirrels. He can become a real problem if he's allowed to roam in a neighborhood; a securely fenced yard is essential.

Border Collies are used for more than just herding; they also make good tracking, search and rescue, and therapy dogs.
