A Sheepdog in Scotland

The Border Collie

Shepherd dogs are dogs that bring the sheep together, but for a large part, this work has almost disappeared. Shepherd dogs had to retrain.

Shepherd dogs need to run but they do not run all the time, these dogs only come out when they have to go to work, for example they bring the cows, sheep, buffaloes together ... They keep the animals when they must do. We mostly find this dog breed in the farms.

They measure about 53 cm high, the female is slightly smaller. Weight can be from 13 kilos to 30 kilos and their eyes are oval, we recognize these dogs at the end their tail as the tip is white. 

The border collie does a lot of stupid things when they are alone, for example, they eat the shoes behind their owner's back.

The first Border collie arrived in France in 1980

Babe:

This wildlife tale tells the story of a pig named Babe Intended, like all pigs, to finish as sausages, it survives to this cruel fate in a miraculous way. Indeed, a farmer named Hoggett, a little naive, wins in a fair game. The piglet discovers life on the farm and its inhabitants as human animals. He is struggling to make its way into this unknown world and tries to make himself indispensable to not end up in the pan. He will have to learn with the dog farmer, a Border Collie, to become the guardian of the sheep.

The Famous Five

Claude's dog is called Dagobert. It's a bit the second leader of the group, he loves and he never leaves the little boy (even in his boarding school) and he is ready to die for him. His name is often shortened into Dag or Dago. It does not have officially a pedigree but Claude would never get separated from him. He knows how to guard, follow a trail, scare the bandits, but it can also be calm, gentle, playful. A perfect dog, according to Claude. But ignores the danger of weapons ... Without him the club of Five would be nothing. And in the film, he was often played by Border Collies.
