Border Collie pups vs Sarplaninac pups

As many of you know we had a littler of sarplaninac pups,
and much to my surprise we had a litter of border collie pups.
This presented me with the ideal circumstances to do some research,
here are my findings:
Border Collie pups


vs

Sarplaninac Pups





Border Collie Pups
Sarplaninac Pups
Are tiny
Are huge
Averagely fluffy to short coated
Super fluffy
Play fight in a friendly manner
Play fighting ends op in full blown warfare
Super fast and racy
Slow and sloth like
Your trip over border collie pups
Sarplaninac pups are out patrolling their territory
BC pups come when you call “puppies” in a sweet high tone
Sar glance back at you with this amazed expression on their face
Need entertainment
Can entertain themselves
Never sit still for a photo
Will sit still and pose for a picture
Shiver and shake from a touch of snow
Love nothing more than sleeping outside in a blizzard
Are solids, hard colours
Are soft sable, grey tones
Have a will to please
Have a will to please IF is suits them
At 8 weeks a bc pup is ready for its new life
At 8 weeks a sar is still such a baby
Start herding anything
Growl and bark at strangers
Teaching walking on a lead, come, sit and down take about 5 minutes
Teaching walking on a lead, come, sit and down can take a lifetime
When walking down the road, people say “oh a sheepdog/border collie cool”
When walking down the road, people say “oh is that a great Pyrenees, husky, wolf cross, coyote?” Never do they get it right.
Are sheepdogs that herd
Are sheepdogs that guard
Cute as button
Cute as button
 On a sheep ranch as ours both breeds are vital to our operation.
We need both
and both breeds perform the jobs required of them.
They allow us to manage our sheep efficiently,
manage our grazing optimally
and have flexibility.
