Purchasing a Border Collie for around $200 USD (approximately 1500 Chinese Yuan) likely means it is not a purebred. Purebred Border Collies typically range in price from $500 to $1000 USD (3500 to 6500 Chinese Yuan). When buying a Border Collie, observing the dog's eyes, muzzle, and tail can help you determine if it is purebred.

A simple way to assess if your Border Collie is purebred is by looking at its price. As mentioned, purebred Border Collies often cost between $500 and $1000 USD, while show-quality Border Collies can range from $1000 to $2000 USD (6500 to 15000 Chinese Yuan).

If your Border Collie was purchased for around $150 to $450 USD (1000 to 3000 Chinese Yuan), it is likely a mixed-breed and not a purebred Border Collie.

Secondly, observe the dog's temperament. Border Collies are known as the most intelligent dog breed, exhibiting strong learning abilities, high comprehension, and easy trainability. If your Border Collie appears particularly unintelligent, it might be a mixed breed.

How to Choose a Border Collie

1. Border Collie's Eyes

Purebred Border Collies have round and expressive eyes that appear lively and alert. Mixed-breed Border Collies often have more elongated eyes with a more melancholic expression. When selecting a Border Collie, prefer puppies with bright and mischievous eyes.

2. Border Collie's Muzzle

The muzzle of a purebred Border Collie is wider and U-shaped, while a mixed-breed's muzzle is narrower and V-shaped. The length of the muzzle isn’t a definitive marker; focus on the width of the muzzle, it should be broad.

3. Border Collie's Tail

A purebred Border Collie's tail will not curl over its back. If the tail curls onto the back, it is highly likely a mixed-breed. Additionally, a purebred Border Collie's ears will stand erect rather than flop down.Don’t miss out on this:Pet Breeding
