A Border Collie Puppy Sat Neatly Among the Wrapped Gifts Under the Tree

AI imageborder colliechristmas presentsunder the tree

Sitting on a woven rug under the tree, a black-and-white Border Collie puppy looks straight into the camera, with his fluffy white chest and soft ears. Around him are presents wrapped in red plaid, green paper, and plain kraft paper tied with twine and tiny sprigs of pine. A glowing tree, a basket, and a warm lamp fill the living room behind him. Little sprigs of pine decorate the wrapping, and the lights from the tree sparkle in his dark eyes.

Border Collies are intelligent, energetic herding dogs that thrive when they have something to think about. They are eager learners and love games, tricks, and exercise. Puppies need steady training and lots of activity, and a Border Collie who is left without a job may invent his own, like herding socks or chasing shadows.

Presents under the tree can tempt a puppy. Edible gifts, ribbons, and wrapping paper should be kept out of reach, and any gifts with food, especially chocolate, should be kept high. Teach him a calm sit near the tree, and reward him for good behavior. Supervise him when he is near the tree, and use a gate if necessary.

He looks perfectly well-behaved among the gifts, and the gentlest, brightest present of all is his sweet face. It is a postcard of a Christmas moment, and he sits in the middle of it with total calm.
