Border Collie Versus Bichon Frise: Introduction
Are you thinking of getting a new pet dog, and you have narrowed down your choices to the Border Collie and the Bichon Frise? Well, you have come to the right place. Because in this article, we will provide you with a detailed comparison of these two dog breeds to help you decide which of the Border Collie and the Bichon Frise better suits you.
We will provide you a detailed discussion and comparison of dog attributes such as intelligence, price, general health, friendliness, etc, for both the Border Collie and the Bichon Frise.
Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Border Collie and the Bichon Frise is better suited for new dog owners, for owners with kids, for owners that live in apartments, for owners with dog allergies, etc.
Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Border Collie and for the Bichon Frise. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Border Collie and the Bichon Frise.
Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Border Collie or the Bichon Frise.
Note that the border collie breed comes in two varieties based on coat texture. There is the smooth-coat border collie and the rough-coat border collie. Read our article on rough-coat border collie versus smooth-coat border collie.
Furthermore, the border collie dog breed is very different from the collie dog breed. Learn about the differences between these two dog breeds in our border collie versus collie article.
Finally, just like the border collie, the collie also comes in two varieties. There is the rough collie and the smooth collie. To learn about the differences and similarities between them, check out our article on rough collie versus smooth collie.
Border Collie versus Bichon Frise: Overview
A very important difference between the Border Collie and the Bichon Frise is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Border Collie is a medium-sized dog while the Bichon Frise is a small-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Border Collie belongs to the Herding Dogs group. Herding Dogs were bred for moving livestock, including sheep, cattle, and even reindeer. Herding dogs work closely with their human shepherds, and their natural intelligence and responsiveness make them highly trainable. They have high levels of energy, which needs to be channeled properly to prevent destructive behavior. Herding breeds are protective of their people and property and make excellent watchdogs. Their intelligence, agility, and activity level make them well suited to dog sports.
On the other hand, the Bichon Frise belongs to the Companion Dogs group. Companion Dogs were bred to be companions for humans. Their main goal in life is to be with people, and they will be very sad if left to themselves for long hours day after day.
Border Collie versus Bichon Frise: Comparison Table
The table below compares the Border Collie to the Bichon Frise based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.
When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.
However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.
Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Border Collie and the Bichon Frise

Common Health Problems and Recommended Health Tests | ||
Popularity out of 200 Dog Breeds | 36 | 44 |
Intelligence Rank (out of 130 Dog Breeds) | 1 | 45 |
Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Border Collie in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Bichon Frise. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Border Collie is 80 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Bichon Frise is 87 out of 125.
Despite the higher Better-Pet score of the Bichon Frise, we still believe that the Border Collie is a better pet than the Bichon Frise.
This is because Border Collies are much cuter but you cannot put a score on cuteness. If you could put a score on cuteness, then the Border Collie will come out on top.
Also, we are biased in favor of the Border Collie :-). We are for the Border Collie. So get a Border Collie!

Temperament of the Bichon Frise Versus the Border Collie
The Border Collie has a better temperament than the Bichon Frise.
This is because the temperament score for the Border Collie is 82.4 percent while the temperament score for the Bichon Frise is 76.7 percent, according to the American Temperament Test Society (ATTS).
The American Temperament Test Society (ATTS) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide fair and objective evaluations of the temperaments of dog breeds.
Dog breeds with low temperament scores tend to show unprovoked aggression, they easily panic without quickly recovering from the panic, and they tend to avoid people. However, dog breeds with high temperament scores are not aggressive and are not shy. Also, these dogs are generally friendly and are protective of their owners.
The average temperament score across all dog breeds (over 250 breeds) is 83.7 percent.
With its temperament score of 82.4 percent, the Border Collie has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
With its temperament score of 76.7 percent, the Bichon Frise has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.
The ATTS obtained the temperament scores of the Border Collie and the Bichon Frise by measuring the temperaments of 312 Border Collies and 30 Bichon Frises.

Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Border Collie puppy or the Bichon Frise puppy. This includes if health screening tests have been performed on the puppy, if the puppy is from a famous pedigree, the US State where the puppy is bred, etc.
Nevertheless, when looking to buy a puppy, look at buying a puppy only from well-established breeders that breed puppies primarily for the love of dogs, and secondarily for profit. Do not buy a puppy from a puppy mill. Puppy mills mass-produce puppies in bad living conditions for maximum profit.
You may also consider adopting a dog instead of buying a dog.

The Intelligence of the Border Collie versus the Intelligence of the Bichon Frise
Border Collie | Bichon Frise | |
---|---|---|
Intelligence Rank | 1 out of 130 dog breeds | 45 out of 130 dog breeds |
Trainability | Tend To Learn New Commands After Fewer Than 5 Repetitions | Tend To Learn New Commands After 25 To 40 Repetitions |
Professor Stanley Coren, the famous psychology/neuropsychological professor and, dog lover/trainer measured and ranked the intelligence of about 130 different dog breeds.
According to Prof. Stanley Coren, the total intelligence that a dog demonstrates is the addition of three types of intelligence. These intelligence types are:
Prof. Coren showed that the Working/Obedience Intelligence of different dog breeds can be measured reliably. Thus, he was able to rank different dog breeds based on their Working/Obedience Intelligence.
This is important because according to Prof. Coren, 51 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from its genes while 49 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from the dog`s environmental circumstances.
To rank the intelligence of dog breeds, Prof. Coren employed the help of 208 dog obedience judges in North America to fill out a detailed survey on dog obedience. This number represented more than half of all of these judges in North America at the time. He also employed 63 veterinarians and 14 guard dog experts to collect data on the personality of different dog breeds.
Prof. Coren found that the Border Collie has an obedience intelligence rank of 1 out of 130 dog breeds. The Border Collie belongs to the `Brightest Dogs` category. This means that Border Collies tend to learn new commands after fewer than 5 repetitions.
The Bichon Frise has an obedience intelligence rank of 45 out of 130 dog breeds. The Bichon Frise belongs to the `Average Working/Obedience Intelligence Dogs` category. This means that Bichon Frises tend to learn new commands after 25 to 40 repetitions.
The Border Collie is more intelligent than the Bichon Frise.
However, Prof. Coren noted that a dog should not be judged based on its intelligence alone, that other factors such as sociability, adorability, and compatibility with the owner are other very important factors that new dog owners need to consider when deciding on a new dog.
The Popularity of Border Collie versus Popularity of Bichon Frise
Every year, the American Kennel Club (AKC) publishes information on how popular a dog breed is in that particular year. The AKC gets the popularity information of a breed from how many dogs of that breed the owners register with the AKC every year. The AKC collects this data for about 200 dog breeds. The AKC collects this data for purebred dogs only(no mixed or hybrid dogs).
The graphs and the table below show the popularity of the Border Collie and the Bichon Frise over the years.
Based on the AKC popularity data over the years, the Border Collie is more popular with dog owners than the Bichon Frise. This is because, over the years, the average popularity of the Border Collie is 36 out of about 200 dog breeds while the average popularity of the Bichon Frise is 44 out of about 200 dog breeds.

Health Problems of Border Collie versus Health Problems of Bichon Frise
Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.
Both the Border Collie and the Bichon Frise are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.
The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.
Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Border Collie is prone to more genetic health problems than the Bichon Frise.
This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Border Collie than for the Bichon Frise.
13 health tests are recommended for Border Collie while 5 tests are recommended for the Bichon Frise.
Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Border Collies and in Bichon Frises.
Border Collie Health Problems
Border Collies are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Border Collie puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Border Collie puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Border Collie breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Border Collies for:
You can find out more about OFA`s recommended tests for Border Collies here.
Bichon Frise Health Problems
Bichon Frises are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Bichon Frise puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.
The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.
If you want a Bichon Frise puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Bichon Frise breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.
The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Bichon Frises for:

More Discussions on Health Problems in Border Collies and Bichon Frises
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Border Collie Breed is Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis problems.
This is because the Border Collie ranks 2 out of 3 dog breeds for Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 102 Border Collies, 1 of them had Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Border Collies, and how common these diseases are in Border Collies relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Bichon Frise Breed is Dentition Database problems.
This is because the Bichon Frise ranks 38 out of 49 dog breeds for Dentition Database problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 89 Bichon Frises, 3 of them had Dentition Database problems.
The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Bichon Frises, and how common these diseases are in Bichon Frises relative to other dog breeds, are given below:
The table below lists the common health problems in Border Collie and in Bichon Frise and the rank (prevalence), compared to other dogs, of these health problems in the Border Collie and the Bichon Frise:
Disease | Border Collie Rank | Bichon Frise Rank |
---|---|---|
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis problems | 2 out of 3 dog breeds | Not Common |
Baer Hearing Test problems | 11 out of 21 dog breeds | Not Common |
Degenerative Myelopathy problems | 13 out of 70 dog breeds | Not Common |
Shoulder problems | 14 out of 22 dog breeds | Not Common |
Dentition Database problems | 30 out of 49 dog breeds | 38 out of 49 dog breeds |
Thyroid problems | 49 out of 115 dog breeds | Not Common |
Hips problems | 116 out of 198 dog breeds | 134 out of 198 dog breeds |
Elbow problems | 117 out of 144 dog breeds | 124 out of 144 dog breeds |
Patella problems | 132 out of 145 dog breeds | 49 out of 145 dog breeds |
Eyes problems | 135 out of 182 dog breeds | 72 out of 182 dog breeds |
Congenital Cardiac problems | Not Common | 75 out of 159 dog breeds |
*To learn more about each of these diseases, go to OFA.org and search for the disease.
Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems. These breeders will only breed dogs that are free of genetic defects. That way, there is little or no chance that their puppies will grow up to have genetic health problems. Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
