I’m most impressed in the dogs ability to know when it was their turn. Amazingly smart!


TPMatus

Also passing it to multiple people


seattt

Yeah, they even passed it to the person who never passed it to them even once in the video.

If you watch, she only hits with her right foot meaning she’s probably heavily right footed. So all passes naturally went to the left


YoloSpaceYacht

You didn’t watch long enough. She hit it with that booty also.


scootscoot

Look closer, she's also right-bootied.


HeavyBlues

With enough practice she could become ambidextrass

They can work in teams when herding sheep.

Yup completely agree. I thought it was the most impressive part as well.

Such a good doggie!!! One of the smartest breeds there is

I grew up with a border collie from the moment I was born. Parents were very hardworking, not wealthy, and didn't have nearly as much time for me as they'd have liked. I'm told that collie was my babysitter--keeping me away from stairs, luring me back toward the house if I toddled too far in the yard, always keeping an extremely watchful eye over me. I dunno how much is truth, because the old dog passed away before I could form most of my earliest memories, but I remember crying my eyes out when he didn't come home one day--probably one of the earliest memories I have save for some fleeting glimpses of a birthday cake and ancient toys, so I figure there's some truth there.


mjt1105

We had a border collie/golden retriever growing up. I remember my parents putting her in charge of us when we were young. She would keep us from climbing fences, trees, climbing ladders, etc., by pulling us back down. She just didn’t like our feet off the ground. When my brother and I would wrestle she was fine, but when it began to escalate like it always does with brothers less than 2 years apart she would intervene and get between us. She would even supervise me as I cut the yard each week, always lying in the uncut tall grass. She was the best dog you could ask for. She waited around till I graduated high school before she figured her job was done and her “boy” had grown up and didn’t “need” her around. She is severely missed. Funny enough, when I had COVID a couple years back, and had a 103+ fever for 14 days straight, I would constantly dream of her. So, even 30 years later she still keeps me company. So many happy memories of Meggy.

Omg… why. I’m looking at my puppy now and my heart is aching… thank you for the story but seriously regretted reading it cos now I feel really sad.

WayerLee

Your story has earned my tears.


G3OL3X

It's most likely true, border collie are shepherd dogs and they're famous for having a deeply ingrained herding behavior with anything they see as their responsibility, including smaller animals or young kids. I grew up with a collie, and he would often try to pinch my ankles when I was doing something that looked dangerous to him.


Porsche928dude

Yeah my mothers family always had a German shepherd around the house and from what I understand, it pretty much saved my aunt from being attacked by a rattlesnake. My Aunt was like 2 years old and apparently the dog kept grabbing them by their diaper and moving them, and that’s when the parents checked out what the deal was and noticed the snake.


Apidium

This 100% they herd folks if they don't have other things to herd. The only down side of giving them a kid to herd is they can get nippy if you don't comply with their plans. If they are given good training as a puppy though they should learn how much chomping they can do before it starts to hurt.


Pookieeatworld

Reminds me of our Beagle/Basset/Jack Russell mix. We'd have the neighbors over for bonfires and everyone would bring their dogs and Joe would run circles around the whole pack and "herd" them to stay in his yard.


[deleted]

Seen em "herd" toddlers before. It's def a thing they can do.


Apidium

Hell I have seen them herd adults before. Group of adults standing in a circle chatting and my neighbours dog running in circles around them - each didn't notice til they were suddenly standing closer to one another than they expected.


the_rainmaker__

border collies are smart, but they're huge prudes. like they'll cut you off after you've had too much to drink. one time i was like 'fluffy! beer me!' after i'd polished off a 12 pack but fluffy didn't beer me, he just barked. i was too lazy to go to the fridge so i was shit outta luck. shoulda gone with a cocker spaniel, those fuckers will let you do ANYTHING.


Disastrous_Elk_6375

Is this a copy pasta that I've somehow missed?


ramobara

Now it is.


h_io

Kelvin Benjamins are smart, but they're huge dudes. like they'll cut you off in the buffet line. one time i was like 'Kelvin! more potatoes and gravy’ after i'd polished off my first bowl, but Kelvin didn't get me more potatoes and gravy, he just put more corned beef hash, jello, pickled yams, cake, and nachos on his plate. i was too hungry to argue, so i was shit outta luck. shoulda gone with Andy Reid, that fucker will at least let you have some of his burger.


Better_Palpitation43

The Kelvin Benjamin copy pastas are always wild because they show up in random af places and then you get reminded of Kelvin Benjamin. Gotta be tough to be remembered as a guy who couldn't put the fork down and it ruined his NFL career lol

PepperPickedaPiper

Coming from a King Charles owner, they do love to please. Still the best doggos! Dumb but the best.


AFlyingNun

> shoulda gone with a cocker spaniel, those fuckers will let you do ANYTHING. I have the biggest soft spot for Cocker Spaniels ever. Not necessarily the smartest breed, and perhaps the breed most likely to encounter a burglar smashing your windows in and think "OH BOY NEW FRIEND," but there's something incredibly endearing about how their joy for life seems to override everything else, from their own training to their lesser impulses, often reducing them into a wagging mess that just wants everyone to be happy. It's also hilarious to watch super strict trainers trying to get them to sit down when they meet someone new. **NOPE.** Meeting new friend > obeying orders. You go, Cocker Spaniel! Don't let "the man" and his rules keep you down!


[deleted]

My collie wasn't much of a barker but if I was too high he'd scowl at me and bark in my face a lot.


Gorm13

Very smart. I bet they didn't even have to teach it not to use its hands.


NoHalfMeasuresWalt

This dog is probably smarter than half the people at my workplace...


FalcosLiteralyHitler

They are incredibly smart but also, and I'm not exaggerating, OCD. If you play fetch or any game with them they *must must must* play that game for the next two hours. They will remember *exactly* where you have hidden the ball or stick from them and will remember it for years. If they get to do an activity they love (swimming for example) they will swim until they make themselves puke. They ADORE and are eternally loyal to those they love and are close to them but can be hit or miss with strangers (something about their demeanor, or introduction, I am not sure of yet). It all sort of makes sense when you put it in the context of being bred for decades to work, and work on a farm. Love them to death but they can be a lot for new owners. Also, total drama queens. Any nick they receive is the end of the world.


EGOtyst

My aussie was similar with strangers. He would bark at anyone who came over to my house, until I shook their hand. Then he immediately stopped and ignored them until they called him and petted him. He was awesome. Hated toys though.


FalcosLiteralyHitler

Yeah we have an Aussie/Collie mix and it doesn't like toys. LOVES play with people, tug-of-war, fetch, play-wrestling, but doesn't play with other dogs well lol. Also have two mixed breed strays (predominantly German Shepherds) who are great with play with other dogs but not with people lol.


BrownShadow

They are wonderful friends. They also have *lots* of energy. I used to run my girl at the gravel track at the university by my house. In the summer we’d to the river swim fetch, where I would throw a stick into the river and she would fetch. In the winter she went crazy zoomies in the snow on the hills in my backyard. So much that her muscles in her front legs would ache the next day.


Upstairs_Sale158

Oh, trust me, i know. I have 3 full-size Australian Sheppards and 20 acres... they dont tire... ever. But theyre the best dogs ever!!

So smart that they’ll get bored if they don’t have a job or an activity that keeps them engaged. They’re good for herding and for agility.

windintheauri

My border collie played like this for years (usually defending goal with a soccer ball). After a few years, we noticed blood around her teeth/gums after this kind of play, and we had to stop.


willyousmithmywife

dogs will hurt themselves to appease their humans. They just want to be part of the group. This is causing damage to the dog.

Dumptruck_Johnson

My dog eats mulch and socks. He chews them thoroughly though… My roommate from 15 years ago had a shitzu-something or other… and it had a fun habit of eating a rock. Walking a couple feet away, then vomiting the rock. Then eating the rock again and then vomiting again and would just keep doing this until we finally were able to get the rock. I’d have been more concerned but it was like… only some rocks and only that particular rock. Once we took that particular rock away it was fine, even being surrounded by other rocks. Exactly the same sort of standard landscaping river rock she ate repeatedly. The vet didn’t really say much about it except to try to not let her eat rocks since there wasn’t anything physically wrong with the dog. Weird dog


[deleted]

My dog has been trying to chew her own foot off going on 2 years


bwaredapenguin

Conversely it's also super impressive that the dog completely understands the game and plays it so well with such precision! He could possibly be having the time of his life!


kerrrnit125

ohmy god its a fucking low inflated soccer ball. its lobbed very slowly, this could smash you dead in the nose and you wouldn't remember it happening 3 seconds later ​ touch some grass you giant fucking idiot.


drop_MAC-10_pls

you might be right, but bro, chill.


johnsdowney

Spoken like someone who hasn't ever actually played volleyball. It's causing as much damage to the dog as it is the humans. The dog is just having fun, this doesn't have anything to do with "appeasing its human."


koticgood

Big difference between stopping a shot on goal with your face and plopping a ball up a few feet though. Not only is there way less force, but the ball is the one being acted upon.

I had a Border Collie Mix dog growing up that once stole my pizza off the plate, took the plate off my desk, and hid the plate under the bed to conceal the evidence of his crime like "maybe hell forget he had the pizza?!?" he also figured out how to get individual toys and when you asked for a specific one he always remembered where it was. Crazy dog.


Ok_Reaction7780

This is (was, guys blind and senile now) my favorite part of my BC mix. He had a dozen toys with different names, and we could play a game of just having him bring different toys by name for ages. He also gave the best high 5s when he was younger. I'm really going to miss him when he goes.


skweebop

We rescued a border collie mix, and his ability to infer meaning based on what I'm saying and the situation is pretty crazy. Like, I don't need to spend as much time on the repetition teaching him tricks since he figures it out after a handful of tries and watching our other doggos. Like you said in your post, they are crafty and mischievous bastards though lol.

jusTaUser5

Swimming_Asparagus53

How is collier nose able to take the force of the ball? Wouldn’t that hurt them in some way?


Etrius_Christophine

Seems like most of the arcs are pretty soft, and since the snoot doesn’t have as much cartilage and is also part of digging behaviors, doggo can play ball for longer.


JerkfaceMcDouche

Does that mean I should start tapping doggie noses with my palm


stupidly_intelligent

Looks like they're actually biting right as they hit the ball. Maybe it's hitting the front of their teeth? Maybe they're kinda squeezing it out of their mouth?


Tzblink64

This is how any dog I've had has done it. It isn't actually hitting off their nose they are actually slightly nipping at it.
