Border Collie - genetic tests

Border Collies are medium-sized dogs with keen and penetrating eyes. Their coats come in a variety of varieties, including merle, which is characterised by a mottled pattern with light shades of dark colour. In all respects, Border Collies are the epitome of robust and agile cattle chasers. These dogs show an irresistible instinct to chase anything, be it birds, dogs or children. This strong working instinct can make them too active for sedentary pet owners. However, if you are looking for an intelligent and tireless companion for work or sport, the Border Collie will be an ideal choice.
