Keeping a dog is one of the popular ways of keeping pets at present, and many people regard keeping a dog as a way of keeping in good health. Among them, the border collie is deeply loved by the public because of its smart, sensitive, playful and active characteristics. However, behind the rising temperature of raising dogs, there are also many black dog trading industries in the dog market. Dog dealers string up dog breeds in various ways, among which border collies often become victims.

1, breeding hybrid varieties.

Dog dealers use market demand to cultivate different breeds of dogs and sell so-called "hybrid breeds", which are often more expensive. However, these dogs often do not have strict breed identification and screening, nor do they have health checks, and may even have the problem of too close kinship. These irregular feeding behaviors will not only cause health problems of dogs, but also damage the genes of purebred dogs.

The most common method used by dog dealers is to mix the border collie with other breeds of dogs to "cross talk" the pure bloodline of the border collie. Thus, a seemingly pure-bred border animal husbandry is actually a hybrid variety, or a hybrid offspring. Although this reduces the manufacturing cost of dogs, it also hinders the pure inheritance of border collie breeds.

2. Fake purebred varieties

In addition to confusing breeds through hybridization, some dog dealers will forge the pedigree and breed certificate of dogs, forge purebred breeds of border collies and sell them to needy buyers at higher prices. These fake breeds of dogs often seriously affect the growth and health of dogs themselves. Buyers pay higher prices for unqualified dogs because they are cheated.

3. Long-distance transportation

In addition to breeding breeds and forging genealogy, another common means used by dog dealers is long-distance transportation. In order to gain more benefits, some unscrupulous dog dealers will "wholesale" dogs that are too young, underweight and impure in color to various markets. Although this method costs less for dog dealers, for dogs, it will cause physical injury or even death due to long-distance bumps, hunger or diseases.

4. Lack of agricultural knowledge

Dog dealers often lack breeding knowledge, professional knowledge about dog breed characteristics, growing environment, diet, disease prevention and so on, and regard dogs as commodities. For buyers, if they buy these dogs that have not been professionally raised, they will not only have health risks, but also bring mental stress and trouble to the breeders.

To sum up, when purchasing and raising border collies, we need to pay attention to mixed breeding, fake purebred breeding, long-distance transportation and lack of feeding knowledge to protect this excellent breed from crosstalk and abuse.
