Border Collie Lakeland Temperament and Behaviour
The Border Collie Lakeland is a very active and agile breed of working dog. They get their name from their long, silky coat, which resembles the coat of a sheep. They are very intelligent and high energy, which make them ideal for activities like flyball or agility. However, they are extremely sensitive and can get stressed easily, so it is best to keep activity levels to a minimum.
Border Collie Lakeland Activity Requirements
The Border Collie is an intelligent and hard-working herding dog. They require lots of exercise and affection. The Lakeland variety of the Border Collie was developed to be a slightly larger, sturdier version of the traditional Border Collie. They were developed to be more suitable for living in colder climates, and are still considered rare. The Lakeland variety requires much more exercise and attention than the regular Border Collie. They are high-energy, smart, and very eager to please. They need a fenced-in yard where they can run and burn off some energy.
