A very intelligent breed filled with both physical and mental energy, the border collie will bore easily if not given a proper job.

Like the border collie, the Australian shepherd is very smart and active. Bred to be a herding dog, this breed can become destructive without proper obedience training, challenge and exercise. Provide him with plenty of exercise and a “job” outside to help curb damaging activity.
