A Border Collie Puppy typically lives 12–15 years. Most of what determines whether it gets there is routine care rather than anything dramatic.
A breed from Global / Various, living in India
The Border Collie Puppy was developed in Global / Various. The part that travels badly is rarely temperament - it is the coat and the tolerance for heat. Plan the year around that and most of the rest follows.
What “smart” means day to day
The Border Collie Puppy is described as smart, energetic, work-oriented. Of those, smart is the one that shapes an ordinary day most. It is easy to read as a selling point and harder to live with than the word suggests, because it does not switch off when you are busy.
Keep the records
Booster schedules run from the original dates, and a new vet asks for the history first.
The annual check
Once a year for an adult dog, and book it before the hot months rather than during them.
Vaccination and deworming
The core course starts around six weeks, rabies follows, then annual boosters. Deworming runs fortnightly to twelve weeks, monthly to six months, then quarterly.
Planning for about 13 years
A Border Collie Puppy is with you for about 13 years. Budget and routine both need to survive that, including the last quarter of it when a medium dog needs more veterinary attention than it did young.
Balancing smart against energetic
Breeds described as both smart and energetic need the two managed together rather than separately. With a medium dog that usually means a predictable routine first and training second - the routine is what makes the training stick.
