15 Best Dog Breeds for Hiking Buddies

Border Collie

There is no dog breed in the world who lives more for activity than the Border Collie. We think they’re the smartest dogs in the world, and they absolutely love to please their owners. Energy isn’t going to be a problem for Border Collies; they’ll keep up. In fact, no matter how long your hike is, chances are your pup wishes it were longer.

Don’t be afraid to give your Border Collies tasks along the way during your hike, whether it’s carrying something small or retrieving a ball or stick every so often, because they live to work. If you’re camping overnight, you can very easily train your Border Collie to collect firewood for you. They’re that smart, and they’d love nothing more than to help you.
