Border Collie Puppy | Gadraroad

Is a Border Collie Puppy a good fit for Gadraroad?

Two things decide this, and neither is the breed itself: what the housing looks like and what the weather does. Most homes in Gadraroad come with their own ground, so a medium-sized breed is comfortable in the space a town home usually offers. And since daytime temperatures climb high for much of the year, which shapes daily routines, the daily routine ends up mattering more than the floor space. A light summer trim (for double-coated breeds, never shave to the skin) helps comfort.
