What are the disadvantages of the Border Collie? The disadvantage of the Border Collie is that it sheds a lot, especially during the moulting period in the second season of life. Moreover, the Border Collie is very smart, and sometimes the leader will act clever and not listen to the owner; he will be too energetic. Wealth is also one of the shortcomings of the Border Collie. The energy that has nowhere to rest will cause the Border Collie to cause harm at home.
1. Will shed hair
Border Collies and Golden Retrievers generally shed hair, so after you raise a Border Collie, you have to accept its bad habit of shedding. However, Border Collies' shedding can still be improved, as long as you comb it every day and provide staple food. It is best to replace the dog food with some nutritionally balanced and well-absorbed natural dog food that is low in salt and oil. Generally nutritious dog food is effective in slowing down hair loss. In addition to dog food, other foods should also pay attention to the proportion of salt.
2. Too creative
Border collies are not like dogs like huskies. Although such dogs are too opinionated and do things irregularly, they still sometimes listen to their owners. The border collie is very smart. Sometimes it even feels that its owner's IQ is higher than it. When getting along with it every day, it has to "play" with it. Its IQ is not like that of ordinary dogs. It is like a naughty six or seven-year-old dog. A naughty child who originally knew everything.
3. Too rich in spirit
The Bianmu is originally a shepherd dog. Under the current living environment and human training, it likes and is good at exercising. Nowadays, people’s lives are very tiring. If you choose to raise a border collie, then you must pay attention to taking the dog out for exercise regularly, otherwise it will “break up the house” like a husky. In fact, it is due to the rich energy in the body. It needs to be released through circulation.
