1. Body structure is an important criterion to distinguish whether border grazing is pure or not. I have raised several border herders, and I know that purebred border herders have their specific physical characteristics.
Pure-bred border herders give people the feeling of being symmetrical and slender, muscular but not particularly abrupt. Its height is generally 56-66 cm, and its weight is 16-30 kg, and it will not be particularly thin or fat. The head is not too big, the eyes are typical almond eyes, and the two erect ears are also very distinctive. It has a slender neck, a broad chest and strong limbs, and can withstand long-term running. The tail will naturally droop and curl. These are obvious signs of pure-bred border grazing. If the size difference is too big, such as short and fat, too big head, drooping ears and so on. , is likely to be a hybrid. So it is very important to judge the body shape. I suggest that when choosing a border dog, we must carefully observe whether its size meets the standards. This can avoid being cheated by illegal traders. 2. The color of hair is also a way to distinguish whether it is pure or not. I have raised several purebred border herders, whose coat color is relatively simple and not too fancy and complicated.
There are four main colors of pure border grazing: black, white, gray and variegated. Mixed colors are also dominated by a single main color, and there won't be too many colors mixed together. The head is mostly black, the limbs are mostly white, and the back and tail are the same color as the head. My little white is a typical black and white coat color distribution. And some impure border herders may have white heads, black and gray backs and brown limbs, which are too complicated and impure. Therefore, when choosing a border dog, we should pay attention to whether its coat color is too fancy and complicated, and it is likely to be a mixed breed. Obviously, the color of pure-bred border grazing is simple and regular, and it should be mainly black, white and gray. Avoid choosing border grazing with too mixed color distribution, which can prevent it from being used by illegal traders. 3. Personality characteristics To judge whether the border animal husbandry is pure, we should also pay attention to its personality characteristics. The purebred border collie has a very obvious personality.
They are usually lively and cheerful, like to associate with people, and are particularly loyal to their owners. My little white runs around me every day and insists that I always play with him. He is extroverted and warm to everyone. But also alert, can distinguish strangers, will not attack people for no reason. If a border collie is very introverted and shy, he will hide from strangers, probably crossing with other breeds. Pure-bred border herders are not so introverted and sensitive. Therefore, when choosing a puppy, we should observe its personality when interacting with people. If you are introverted and sensitive, you should consider that it may not be pure. The stable but energetic character of border collie is its typical feature. You should also pay attention to this when choosing a puppy to avoid being used by illegal traders. Only purebred border collies with cheerful personality can become our faithful partners. 4. pedigree proof knowing the pedigree proof of the border shepherd is like knowing a person's genealogy. Suppose you are buying a famous car, you must want to know its production date, place of origin, whether there is any accident record and so on. , right? Similarly, when you decide to have a border dog, you should also know something about its "family background".
What is the proof of descent? Simply put, it is to list the dog's parents, grandparents and even distant ancestors. This is not only to prove that it is purebred, but more importantly, through this proof, you can learn about the dog's health, personality and other possible genetic factors. I remember once, a friend bought a border collie without a pedigree certificate and found that it had some health problems. Later, he regretted not asking the seller to provide proof of descent before buying. It's like buying something without an invoice, and then finding that the problem can't be defended. Therefore, if you want to buy a border collie, you must find a reputable breeding farm, and they will provide proof of pedigree for each puppy. This can not only ensure the purchase of purebred border collie, but also understand its family background and provide better care for it.
