Mauxies shed very little hair, making them a great choice for those who dislike excess hair in the house.

Border Collies are moderate shedders, but regular brushing can reduce shedding and maintain coat health.

Mauxies aren't great guard dogs; they tend to just watch without taking action.

Choose a Border Collie if you want a top-notch watchdog. This breed takes guarding seriously, and may not require much training, though obedience or guard dog training can improve their skills.
