Which dog is better border collie or american eskimo ?

I live in a single home with a large yard. Im debating with my brother he wants a border collie i want an american eskimo dog.

Border Collie! They're probably the most popular...

American eskimo, easier to train.

Better for what?You want to herd sheep, you get a border collie,you want to go into dog sledding, you get an american eskimo dog.

lol that is hard to decided i think that an American Eskimo dog

Most border collie breeders would never ever suggest somebody without a pastuer and a few good sheep getting one. They have very high energy and need a lot of stimulation. They are great dogs but definitely not for everyone. I love spitz's, American Eskimos or Japanese Spitz as they're called here are great, my friend has one.

collie by far. trust me, you will not regret it. they are the BEST dogs for you're description.

depends on your lifestyle. a backyard will become a place to destroy for a border if not exercised both body and mind. they need a job!!!

Well Border Collie's are better, because they don't tend to bark as much as the Eskies(A.E.D.), and they are like rank in the top 5 smartest dogs... i think they are in the top 3

border collie faithful and loving

If you have sheep, go ahead and get the Border Collie, children will do just fine too :/don't get a Border Collie just because you think it's cute, they are herding dogs with 'herding instict'. They need a lot of exercise and it would be wise to spend money on agility training.I'd go with the Eskie.

I have a border collie and she is sooo sweet. She's loving, and all she wants is to be loved. Trust me! ><>

Border Collie is more energetic than american eskimo. American eskimo is more on being a companion. They are both excellent watchdogs.

Good luck

BC's need a job to do. Even with a backyard, it will become a nightmare from hell if not excercised enough. I have owned a BC before and they are not for people who just want to put them in a backyard and not excercise them. You are better off with an American Eskimo.

I personally would go with a border collie.It depends on how well you think you could care for either dog; in terms of energy level, time for grooming, your experience training dogs, and temperament. I would ask the shelter, or breeder which one they would recommend.

What a huge difference in the type of dog you two want.It really comes down to your lifestyle and what you want to do with either dog.Know that if you decide on the BC that you will need to give him a job like agility or at the very least lots and lots of exercise for the body and brain, their loyalty is unquestioned.If your looking at the Eskimo know that this is a bit of a more laid back dog that is also highly intelligent and needs to be exercised regularly.Hopefully if you do chose the Eskimo you realize that their is lots of grooming that comes with this breed not so much with the BC, it is more a wash and wear breed.Eskimo`s can be stubborn while BC`s love to please so for training purposes I would go with the BC.Again it all comes down to what are the 2 of you willing to do to give either breed the quality of life that it deserves.Good luck on your decision and God bless
