border collie zodiac sign

Border Collies are known to be energetic, hard-working dogs.  So, are they a match for you?  Well, that may depend on your Zodiac sign!   From the research we’ve done, we’ve found that whether or not you will match well with a border collie may depend if you are born under one of these three signs!

 

1. Virgo

Virgos are born between August 23 to September 22 and are defined as having the following traits:

  • Needs to feel useful
  • Has a quick fix for everything
  • Judgmental, but with good intentions
  • Exceptional spatial awareness
  • A million ideas per second

According to Dogtime, Border Collies are the perfect companion for Virgos because the world’s best dog breed “have one thing on their mind: work. They require a lot of physical and mental exercise. Much like a Virgo, the Border Collie is go go go. There is never a dull moment with this energetic but mild-mannered dog. They don’t like to be cuddled, which can be good for a Virgo whose love language is most likely not physical affection. Give a Border Collie a job and lots of stimulation, and you’ll have a reliable business partner who will never leave your side.”

 

2. Gemini

Geminis are born between May 21 to June 20 and are defined as having the following traits:

  • Charismatic
  • Uses humor as a crutch
  • Could talk to a brick wall
  • Arguments as flirting
  • Knows a little about everything

According to Family Minded, Border Collies are a great match for Geminis because they are “curious and dynamic, a Gemini needs a dog that mirrors their emotional intelligence. The border collie checks all the boxes: affectionate, smart and energetic.”

 

3. Aries

Aries are born between March 21 to April 19 and are defined as having the following traits

  • No filter
  • Gets angry, then forgets why they were angry
  • Thinks everything is a game they can win
  • Will do anything on a dare
  • Easily bored

According to the American Kennel Club, Border Collies “share the determination and enthusiasm of an Aries-born person, and just like you, they love a physical challenge. These workaholic dogs often excel in sports like agility. Both of you are full of energy and can quickly perform any task you’re presented with. Aries is one of the most active signs, so a dog that can keep up will be a good match.”

So, which sign do you fall under and do you think the border collie is a match for you?
