Yes, you should be able to feel a Border Collie's ribs with gentle pressure, but they should not be protruding or overly visible. A healthy weight means their ribs are easily felt but not seen, indicating they have a good amount of muscle and body fat. Regular vet check-ups can help ensure they maintain a healthy weight. Always consult your veterinarian if you're unsure about your dog's body condition.
