Why the Border Collie?

For hundreds of years this breed of dog was bred and selected to work livestock. They are valued for their endurance and intense determination to meet the orders of their master along with an innate herding instinct and boundless energy. Because of their remarkable sensitivity, exceptional intelligence and obedient nature they can be easily directed remotely by their master upon being specifically trained for their respective task.

Our employment of Border Collies has proven to be the best option for encouraging the Canada goose to naturally relocate and to discourage them from frequent visits. Since the breed closely resembles a wolf in two distinct areas: stalking and what is known as “the stare”, it is recognized by the bird as a true predator.  An additional advantage is they will never harm a goose, only herd and chase as the breed did not evolve as a retriever. For these reasons along with the aforementioned ones in the previous section, it is the breed of choice for any goose population problem found on all property types be it golf courses, farmland, city parks, cemeteries, beaches, ponds, etc. The Border Collie is truly a special breed in which one could say was born for this task.
