We had a border collie that we thought was one of the smartest dogs in the world she knew what W A L K meant bit than again going from a golden retriever to a border collie is like going from a small yappy dog to a mastiff

I love border collies too!! 

I always thought red border collies were pretty I wanted one several yeas ago when we were at a sheep herding show and some people were selling their puppies I really liked the red but my mom loved the purple. We didn't get any though cause we didn't have the time or space for a puppy then

Honestly I never wanted a border collie. Our friend bought him but then made the mistake of show the dog the neighbors horses. Naturally the dog assumed the horses belonged to our friend so the dog would go down and watch the horses. The horses hadn't seen a dog before so they ran. The dog tried to herd them. The horses owners basically threatened to sue our friend so he brought the dog over to use for me to foster. I already had four dogs so fostering was all i could do since adopting him was basically out of the question. While I was fostering the dog, my dad slowly fell in love. Later that first week of fostering I gave one of my dog back to my mushing mentor so my dad asked me if I wanted to keep the border collie. I honestly didn't but I could tell my dad loved the thing do I said yes. That's basically how I ended up with a border collie. Sadly he was way to much white to show.

my uncle had horses and donkeys and he'd let them out and she'd let the donkeys finish eating and then put them back but she'd let the horses graze until he said put them up and than she'd go herd the horses

she never had any training my sister said she was a natural herder

sadly she passed away two years ago due to cancer

He isn't allowed the herd horses but does do my ducks. He also do agility and we do some obedience work.
