If you are planning to adopt a puppy, get any breed EXCEPT Border Collies.

This creature is a nightmare, they are terrifying, and we want to save you from making a horrific mistake.

To suppoert this argument, here are 14 reasons why you should never own such scary creatures.

#1 Firstly, Border Collies are pretty much the criminal ringleaders of the dog world.
