border collies

And me! Ours used to sulk too sometimes.

Always had border collies and have passed on the love if not obsession for the breed to ours.

They are the most underestimated and misunderstood of all the breeds I think. Assumed to be easy to own and manage because they are so intelligent and easy to train.

It is true they are so intelligent and yes easy to train for the basic but that sharp mind watches, listens, sees and learns everything we do, even what we don't know we do - they know and will pick up and learn from it for better or worse

Lovely video, Negligentmother.
Going back to our vehicle chaser - our surviving collie had started to copy his bad habits. She seemed to look to him for an example. When it wasn't really in her nature.
Except for the yellow post van - when he left the house she thought she'd seen him off.

I well remember our childhood holidays in the outer hebrides- it seemed like every croft the car went past unleashed a collie like a bullet which chased us far down the road. Lovely dogs. We used to call them Dunlop dogs as they chased tyres!
