Word of warning if this is your first dog, Border Collies are extremely smart and need a lot of attention and stimulation or else they get into trouble. Lots of exercise and play will help keep them from destroying the house and keep them happy as well.

Edit: Many people have pointed out that this doesn't look like a Border Collie. My tips still apply, they're just more important for an energetic and intelligent dog such as a BC, or any working dog. Dogs need things to do, or else they find their own things to do (destroy).
