How to choose a Border Collie puppy
How to choose a Border Collie puppy? When choosing a Border Collie puppy, you should choose a Border Collie puppy with plenty of bones, a large head but well-balanced overall proportions, thick and powerful paws, a mouth that is not too long, and almond-shaped eyes. The face should be square in front, and the ears can be folded one-quarter to three-quarters or fully erect. The amount of hair should be sufficient, the tail should droop naturally, the forehead should be obvious, the front should be straight, and the rear should be angled.

1: First of all, it is necessary to check whether the bone mass of the Border Collie puppy is sufficient. The head should be larger, but it should be coordinated with the overall proportion and not appear to be bearing weight.

2: The claws are thick and powerful, especially weak or too long hind legs, which will affect speed and running.

3: The mouth should not be too long, otherwise it may be skewered with sapphire. The eyes should have an almond-like shape.

4: The face should be square in front, not triangular.

5: In terms of ear position, folded ears from one quarter to three and full ears are acceptable.

6: A puppy’s nose may be pink when it is born, but it will turn black as it is exposed to the sun and grows up. It is estimated that it will be completely black in three or four months.

7: There are many permissions for coat color: generally black and white, yellow and white, but also meteorite, brown red and white, brown and white, sapphire and white, etc. Puppies have downy hair, but the amount of hair must be sufficient. You have to blow it on the body, so you can't see too much skin. Because hair volume cannot be achieved by supplementing it the day after tomorrow, there are innate factors.

8: The tail droops naturally, and the starting point cannot be too high.

9: The forehead should be obvious, the front should be straight, and the rear should be angled.

10: Finally, check whether the seven and white suits are the same.
