Border Collie Pyrenees Physical Characteristics
The Border Collie Peninsular breed is a mid-sized, large-sized breed of herding dog that is typically smaller and leaner than the English Sheepdog. The breed is stockier in build than the Pembroke or Cardigan Welsh Corgi. The head is wedge-shaped, with a flat skull, and medium-length ears that fold back at the tips. They have deep chests and shoulders and sturdy, slightly bowed front legs. The breed comes in three sizes: small, medium and large, with all three sizes having the same height at the withers. The weight range is 25 to 45 kg (55 to 99 lb). The coat is short and smooth, and can be any solid color or combination of solid and patched.

Border Collie Pyrenees Temperament and Behaviour

Border Collie Pyrenees Activity Requirements
The Border Collie Pyrenees is a high-energy herding dog that was originally bred for sheepherding. While they are working dogs, they also make excellent companions. Border Collie Pyrenees are natural athletes. They are happiest when they are being active and doing things with their owners. They require at least two hours of exercise per day, spread out over several short walks or runs. While a fenced-in yard is ideal for this high-energy breed, they also enjoy going for long walks or jogs. A vigorous play session with a ball or frisbee can also help burn off some of that extra energy. A Border Collie Pyrenees may not be the best choice for people who live in apartments or in small homes. They require a lot of exercise and attention, and they need room to run. A home with a fenced yard or the ability to take long walks will be perfect for this busy, playful pup.
