If you’re interested in adopting a border collie, All About Border Collies by April M. Quest is a must read (click/tap here or on page thumbnail at right). It contains concise information on the breed, much in the format of FAQ’s. It addresses things you need to do, and the person you need to be, as a successful border collie owner.
