Advice from Border Collie owners.

The most experience I have is with Jacks. My parents have two. We live in a city but near a dog park. I know that BC are shepherding dogs but do they swim? We're a block from a lake. We are near an abundance of trails but winter could be a problem. Our back yard is medium size. We're planning on meeting him tonight. Don't know if we'll be able to judge too much in a half hour but it should be fun!
