Border Collie puppies are dogs first, not a promise that one toy will suit every individual. A useful starter box mixes a correctly sized food-stuffable rubber toy, a supervised chew, a soft fetch or tug option, and one simple food puzzle. Select the maker’s size by your puppy’s current weight and mouth, rather than the breed name alone; a fast-growing pup can outgrow a small toy quickly. Remove damaged toys and loose pieces, supervise food-filled and chew toys, and use only foods your veterinarian says are appropriate for your dog.

Buying tips
- A Border Collie puppy’s current size, chewing style and veterinary guidance matter more than the breed label on a toy list.
- Rotate a few toys rather than leaving every item down all day, and supervise chews, food toys, ropes and puzzles.
- Avoid using a worn toy, a toy that fits entirely behind the back teeth, or a hard object that can splinter or damage teeth.
