The breed
How these were picked
No name here was written for the breed. Each list above comes from the name data by one rule, shown under its heading, using only what the Border Collie breed guide says: country of origin, size class and energy rating, plus any link in the breed's own name. A name appears once on the page. The 30 breeds with a page like this are the American Kennel Club's top 30 for 2025 by registrations; the Border Collie is number 26. The rules only narrow the choice: any name on the site suits any dog.
