An oldie but goodie variation of throwing the ball multiple times and one last time not to...and seeing him dart into the open looking for it.

I know a few dogs like that, where you throw a ball and it will stare at you transmitting its thoughts of "Why the hell did you throw that ball away? It was a perfectly good goddamn ball?" directly into your mind.Bob the Gunslinger wrote:My dog's a border collie.

She'll just sit there and make me get them.
Is it just me, or are Border Collie's smart fucking dogs? My friend has one, and to get it to leave the room, I'll sometimes pretend to throw something down the hall. She only fell for that once. She must listen for thud or something.Bob the Gunslinger wrote:My dog's a border collie. She doesn't fall for that.
I believe they once taught a border collie to identify over 300 different objects. It had the intelligence of a 3 year old child.Is it just me, or are Border Collie's smart fucking dogs?

Border Collies in particular and herding breeds in general are brilliant as dogs go. They are damn clever little guys. They learn very quickly indeed.observer_20000 wrote:Is it just me, or are Border Collie's smart fucking dogs?
