Like the Australian Shepherd, the Border Collie has been bred to work long hours in tough conditions. That said, they’re very soft dogs – emotionally sensitive to their handlers. Their sensitivity also makes them easy to train and work with because they respond very well to their owner’s desires. This aspect is one of the reasons you see Border Collies being so successful at working venues and dog sports of all kinds.

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was developed as a lapdog and serves that purpose today. They are gentle, affectionate companions that want nothing more than to see their families happy. The breed is very sensitive to the emotions of people and make excellent therapy dogs for those in need.
