Expert Answer

A Border Collie may bite because a stranger makes it feel threatened, leading it to attack the stranger. Also, dogs naturally like to chase, and during chase-play with people they may accidentally bite. In addition, a Border Collie may bite because it is sick and, from discomfort, becomes irritable. Therefore, the owner should judge the biting cause from the actual situation.
