What are the disadvantages of the Border Collie? The disadvantage of the Border Collie is that it sheds a lot, especially during the shedding period in spring and autumn. Moreover, the Border Collie is very smart, so it occasionally plays tricks and does not listen to its owner; it is too energetic. Abundance is also one of the shortcomings of the Border Collie. The energy that has nowhere to vent can cause the Border Collie to cause havoc at home.

1. Will shed hair

Border Collies shed like Golden Retrievers, so if you raise a Border Collie, you will have to endure 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 natural dog food that is nutritionally balanced and easy to absorb, low in salt and oil. Light and nutritious dog food can effectively alleviate hair loss. In addition to dog food, you should also pay attention to the proportion of salt in other foods.

　2. Too opinionated

Border Collies are not like dogs like Huskies. Although such dogs are too independent and do things without rules, they still sometimes listen to their owners. The Border Collie is very smart. Sometimes it even feels that its owner's IQ is not as good as its own, so it has to "play tricks" with it every day when getting along with it. Its IQ is not like that of ordinary dogs. It is as naughty as a six- or seven-year-old dog. A child who actually understands everything.

3. Too much energy

The Border Collie is originally a shepherd dog. Under the previous living environment and human training, it likes and is good at sports. People nowadays live very busy lives. If you choose to raise a Border Collie, you must pay attention to taking the dog out for exercise frequently, otherwise it will "break up the house" like a husky. In fact, it is all because of the energy in the body. It requires exercise to release.
