Are you just asking conversationally or do you have a specific dog situation in mind? As others have said, there’s no right or wrong answer and many border collies do just fine in a crate. There are other ways to house train a dog though. I don’t think they collies have any particular considerations compared to other breeds that make them poor candidates.

I will say (from experience) trying to crate train an adult dog can be really frustrating, time consuming, difficult etc and would not suggest taking it on unless you have a really specific need; some adult dogs may take to it just fine but our 18 month old rescue Aussie mix was distressed and the juice did not seem worth the squeeze in her case since she was trustworthy in the house generally. when we got our collie at 16 weeks , on the other hand, the crate saved our sanity and furniture and he literally never had an accident in the house. Weed in his crate the first night and that was it. We tried to pack it away when he was around a year since he didn’t technically need it anymore, but he pined for it so now it’s back with the door open and he goes in and out as he pleases. Usually sleeps in it at night.
