I just wish I could get my two Border Collies to spend time wearing themselves out just like other dogs. Since they are the smartest dog breed, however, they are just content to expel energy by arguing over who gets to use the laptop!

:lolabove: Border Collies are the smartest coolest dogs ever. They're my favorite breed... they just LOVE to WORK, but unless you have livestock for them to herd, you really have to be "ON IT" to keep them challenged. They'd make great assistants in a day-care or alzheimer patient facility... 'cause they don't really care who or what they herd!

Yes.. but if they both are on the beach and a bunch of 4 year olds are running around screaming at the top of their lungs, my 2 Border Collies will want to herd and organize THEM. Just try telling the parents of these kids that my dogs just want to "herd" them...They then respond, What,? they want to "hurt" them!!!!

Friends of mine have a border collie that herds kids at the park ... as well as other dogs, ducks, the cats (Arthur-Marie and Kiki Barber), his toys, whatever! Their dog has an extensive vocabulary and understands fluent "anglais"... I'll bet your dogs do too!

Loved this. My border collie Lucy would herd anything too. She worried herself silly over the kids running and jumping on the trampoline. She would herd her toys once the kids grew up. Wonderful dog, we still all miss her terribly.
