Border collies, originating from the border of England and Scotland, are bred to herd livestock and are extremely intelligent and agile. A border collie can weigh between 30 and 50 pounds when it reaches maturity. But don't expect this breed to mature when it's one year old; they can take two to three years to reach full maturity.

Ridgebacks

Ridgebacks

The Rhodesian Ridgeback is also known as the African lion hound because of its effectiveness in hunting lions in its homeland of southern Africa. As a puppy, the Ridgeback is extremely energetic, but as he matures he will slow down and be content to lie next to his owner. Ridgebacks do well indoors, but do need a big backyard to play in.

Rottweiler

The Rottweiler is a powerful, calm and confident dog that maintains an air of self-assurance. With his inherent desire to protect his home and family as well as his aloof attitude, the Rottweiler does not generally make immediate and indiscriminate friends. In the hands of a responsible owner, a well-trained and socialised Rottweiler is a reliable and loving companion. They can be strong-willed, and should be trained in a firm, fair and consistent manner. Rottweilers love to be part of the family activities and thrive on human companionship.
