  • I LOVE my Border Collie Bonnie. She is my world :)

  • Thumbs up if You love your Border Collie :D

  • its very nicew to see so many ppl care about the pup.

    @rambohunt1

    Hiya, i know what your saying - i wish they'd give her away too!! poor thing is already shredding beds left right and centre. And has seperation anxiety.

    However its not in any way under my control - thats why i do what i can for the animal. She's not my animal and my partner feels the same way. You just cant get rid of someone else's pet........ Sadly!!!!

  • I can't really say they are the best, but they are recognized as most intelligent, take away the long coat, the minority of hip dysplasia and eye problems, and give the dog a little more muscle, and that's my idea of the best dog ever, but I guess it's about your personal opinion. I plan on breeding my own lie of dogs, and I definitely will use border collies and kelpies as the main foundation stock

  • border collies are the best dogs ever

  • @inyourdreamsladdie

    sadly that won't happen, and its very much out of my control as it isn't my pet. They have been advised by myself and others but they don't want to know.

    It really doesn't sit right with me. I want to do what i can for the dog now they have it.

  • i can touch one cuase i have one

  • hi there, i really enjoyed your video! my partners family have a 6month border collie cross whippet. Sadly they picked the wrong breed for thier lifestyle & so the dog isn't getting the right mental & physical stimulation. I visit often and do what i can for the dog whilst im there.

    Over the summer i will be home from university. Do you think that agility would be a good route to take this type of dog? Also, is approximately 9months a good age to train a dog to do agility health wise? thank you!

  • @samphire87 I think they should should give the dog to someone who can look after it properly, your uni` breaks are hardly enough to keep a dog like that stimlutated-which is what it needs day in day out!

  • I LOVE Border Collies. I'll always have a Border Collie:)

  • GO BORDER COLLIES!!!

  • Yes, they are brilliant in every way. However, you can't truly appreciate the wonder of this dog until you've seen it herd sheep.

  • Border collie = The Illuminati of dogs

    Running shit......

  • these

    dogs r not for lazy stupid people,they cant touch it!!!

  • i worked with all kind of working breed,but one i had my border,i just cant imagine to change it for other,lol.

  • I LOVE MY BORDER... HES THE BEST... WOOF!

  • I touched a Border Collie befoer, and he did NOT run away he just sat there and stared at the camera

  • thumbs up if you wish you had a border collie

  • if it aint pit it aint shit

  • @BTRoach2272 Then why are you watching this? BORDER LOVERS ONLY!

  • @tiger123655 You do need to get a life, Border Collies are brilliant intelligent dogs But I prefer the Huntaway for the High Country

  • thumbs up if you have a border collie

  • @rct3king2 I wish. :'(........ BUT I'M GETTING ONE SOON YAY! HAPPY FACE!

  • i have bordercollie <3

  • Love the video. Very few Australian Shepherds have naturally bobbed tails. Blue Merle is not a natural color in BC's Some how the genes got in there. ALL dogs are intelligent. It is the owner/ handlers that bring it out in the dog. BC's are easy to train because they are intense. But when you start training other breeds with treats you get dogs that are as smart as BC's - maybe not as FAST, but as smart.

  • @skypilottrickdogs ALL dogs are smart yes but border collies are the smartest dog in the world! I know many dogs,even with proffesional training that "Can't touch a border collie" LOL.......

  • @skypilottrickdogs BC's don't have a standard color, as they were bred for work, not show.

  • @easyitsashley In fact many kennel clubs have a standard. It is only the working clubs like American BCA and the CanadianBCA that a visual standard is not accepted. In fact neither of the above will allow you membership if you show BC's in conformation. If you do your research you will find out that the merle gene was introduced into the BC. This was likely done for show Aussies and BC's are very similar so a cross to introduce the gene could occur and it would be very difficult to notice.

  • I love border collies!! :D

  • Awesome video! I have a poodle mix dog that im in agility with. He's just as smart as any dog in the world i think! Everyone would think their dog is the best and they are right. It's a matter of opinion I think. BC are amazing breeds, and i wish to own one some day. My dogs could compete! lol

  • woff wuff grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

  • Agreed.

  • 27 people own gay ass fluffy poodles who may be smart, but tried to attack my border collie the other week.

    result? my husky pitbull had something to say.

    couldnt touch it.

  • @mark9021 Agreed, and poodles may be smart... but not as smart as your Border Collie, as BCollies are proven to be the most intelligent breed of dog ;D

  • SOrry boders arent always the best at everything I have been doing agility many many years ran many breeds and I wouldnt say borders are untouchable

  • i agree with copilotsagility they are smart dogs, but i think my dog is just as smart as a BC

  • love it! :D i have BCs and they ARE the best thing ever. <3

  • Border Collies are amazing. I have 1 male and 1 female going into their second year of Obedience Training in 4-H. I am soon starting agility! :)

  • i loved this vid - great tribute to border collies!! thanks!

  • If I touch my border collie, he growls!

    He is an awesome dog though <3

  • GSDs are better.

  • youk now, borders do more than just agility. you shoulda put in like herding, showing BCs, flyball, etc.

  • :) awsome dogs.

  • that is not true

  • I'm sick of people getting these dogs, thinking that they can just sit around the house and do nothing, and the dogs tear up the home, and the irresponsible owner blames it on the dog. That is how these great dogs end up in shelters.

  • riddle me this : why do people who dont agree about border collies being brill watch this, cause it would make sense if you see a vid wich title you dont agree with dont watch it

    great vid by the way i love border collies even though i've only had one for a yr and a month i cant remember how i live with out her

  • That was a really good video with some really good pics...I really enjoyed watching it. And yes Border Collies are AWESOME! :D

  • My goldens go just as fast a borders. And when you say Border collies are the best, thats your opinion not a fact. Some borders are to fast for their owners, which isnt good unless they have good distance work on the course. Every owner says their dog is the best! Even though someone else might not think that.

  • @Buddy0627 Well, do I get this right?

    Border Collies are to fast for their "owners"?

    So, BC are good and it's an "owner" problem?

    Well, in my opinion you are right.

    BC, were assumed to have the intelligence of a 5 year old child.

    Most humans, do not own this intelligence anymore.

    Honi soit qui mal y pense ;-)

  • I'm getting a Border Collie soon! I absolutely love them ! Any name you could think of? I'm thinkig of Kai (pronounced Ky)

  • I have to say a german shepherd compaes to a collie & a husky german shepherds are very intellegent giuck + great agility dogs & great with kids & huskies arent the best liseners but they have strewnghth to pull a sled speed for agility & great jumping for agility & amazing with kids (experience with both) But on the reecord I Love border collies too they r very cute

  • I totally agree I have one Border Collie of my own,best dog ever born :D :D

  • What is the name of the song?

  • People are you really that sad!You are argueing about thing's to do with the dog or the video itself ....It's a dog video for fuck sake!!!

  • if the border collie had a higher bite force and stronger hips, the german shepherd would be out of the job.

  • @StefyStuff  aggreed love shepherds

  • i have run both shelties border collies a alot of breeds you can think of I ran a border in agility for 7 years and now i have my sheltie and i still love running the borders everynow and then but right now shelties got my heart

  • :) they are amazing dogs , i have one his name is jake he is amazing!

  • Very good work:)

    What country is this team?

  • All dogs are fantastic...I've had many breeds of Dog...but something about the BC just keeps me coming back!...Never be without one now...great Dogs

  • j'en est 2 

  • I have a b/c he is great. extremely easy to train, they are classed as the smartest but also the most destructive dog, if u dont spend time training and exercising he will be the worst dog in the world....

  • This video was alright! I agree that border collies are amazing and nothing compares to them! I am a proud owner of a Border Collie =) Check out my video on how Border Collies are the best breed. I provide so much facts and history in mine! Great video.

  • Don't forget about the Working Kelpie, As a sheperd I was amazed about my borders intelligents, but the Working Kelpie equals them.

  • @randemiel For sure! I have a Working Kelpie & a Border Collie x Kelpie. They're both incredible. 

  • 100% agree-borders are by far the best dogs out there. Anyone who disagrees has never had one or is jealous because they don't have one. I've had several different breeds-NONE, and I mean NONE compare to the BC. You won't get any dog smarter or more agile than a border. I got my first BC (well, apparently he's a mix but shows no other traits than BC ones) earlier this year. He's 9 months and knows ~45 tricks. Everywhere I go people tell me how stunning and well behaved he is. Doesn't get better.

  • i love border collies!!!!!!

  • I got a bordercollie named Lucie(: <3 We don't use her for herding.. but when we're in the pool she runs around and tries to herd us o.O She literally ran her pads off):

  • THIS IS TO YOU SQUIDCRAP!!! Obviously, your head must be stuck up your ass to stupidly comment what you did seven responses above me. People please scroll up and look at how stupid he is. BCs do agility,herding,show,frisbee,a­nd dock dogs. These are adorable,smart,athletic dogs and if you dont believe that,its okay. Squidcrap just needs to get back in HIS turf,not ours. He has no beeping right to come and insult our dogs,and if you want to,then get your ass away from us and our TRUE best dogs.

  • Border Collies are so smart it's almost scary. 

  • just fell into this video and lo and behold a picture of my Nyna and her MACH 4 bar. She is almost 15 now so this was sweet :< )

  • I like it its just that you keep on saying that you cant touch them!!!!!!

    Why cant you touch them?!!!!!!!!!

  • Whoa. But my mini Aussie and I are on a travel team and are better... there are three Border Collies in my team and they're not so good... Sorry!

  • I have a border collie and his name is fly ,but not to be mean he isn't that smart,but he is fast. i love him so much and he is sooo cute :D

  • Great video.

  • love border collie :D:D:D:D:D:D

  • I love my border collie dalmation mix he's a great watch dog as well as agile

  • Love BC's too...Vid was cool, but too much text

  • I liked the pix.

  • Poodles are Notoriously dunce,like the poster of the previous comment!!

  • Great video. I enjoyed the stills freezing the action. Some morons don't recognize the variability in the appearance of different examples within the same breed.

  • i can touch this.

  • gsd would be a good dog if their hips would last

  • theres one thing they cant do.... protect you..

  • @KottnMouth29

    That is why I have a border collie AND a 9mm : )

    She would do a lot better @ home defense than you might think, but I could definitely picture robbers rubbing my dog's belly.

  • 3:03 is so sick

  • No herding pics? :[

  • @squidattacksbus hahahaha is there a point you're attempting to proove?

  • @squidattacksbus ? are you trying to proove a point here?

  • @agilityislife LOL :P (Y)

  • @squidattacksbus I don't think the video was meant as a personal attack to every other dog breed in the world. Some people just love a certain breed. I happen to love Border Collie's, Papillons, Boxers. To me they're all the best. So take it easy lol No one said your Fido wasn't cool :P

  • @squidattacksbus people all have different opinions, this woman obviously has a passion for border collies, they are lovely dogs, but i see what you mean :) xxx

  • @squidattacksbus I have all three - bc, gsd, and standard poodle. The poodle is a distant third.

  • @squidattacksbus You're actually wrong about the Poodle and GSD being CLOSE behind. At Maturity a Border Collie will have the intelligence of a 12 year old human. The next closest is the Poodle with a 4 year olds intelligence... Then a GSD with a 2 year old. I don't see CLOSE anywhere in that.

  • @squidattacksbus first of all, yeah so what she was touching them? it was just a joke to go with the song. secondly no one cares what you think, trying to be a smart ass. thirdly border collies are by far the best breed in the whole world.

  • @squidattacksbus Lol, a BoBo, a Do-gooder here, so, well, are "human rights" violated by declaring BC the best? Omg, make a flash-mob, a FB page, cry for help, you little idiot. Is it rascism? Well, I in personal like the black and whites best. C'mon, go to the supreme court. And where is your "footage" my sub-academic friend? "Wenn man keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal die Frese halten!"

  • @burqabob Probably the best looking dog I've ever seen was a black and white pitbull, border collie mix. He had the handsome face of the pit, but with less exaggeration, nice tight lips, and half prick ears, with bright yellow eyes. Muscular lean body, with perfect markings, and a long, thick tail with a nice brush with a white tip. He combined the agility and smarts of the border collie with the power and willingness to please of the pitbull, lived to be 16 years old, best dog I ever knew.

  • @StefyStuff :-) Pitbulls and there offspring are seen as "weapons" here. So, they really have to suffer. Nearly no one is allowed to keep one. And the tests will be easily about 2 k €. to own one. So, most of them are killed here. :-(

  • @burqabob well, I live in the U.S where the dogs are still allowed in most areas

  • @StefyStuff Lucky one.

    :-)

  • @StefyStuff Well, still BC are best. And well, every single word of your comments is dripping from american arrogance.

  • @burqabob How is anything I said Arrogant? I love border collies, they are in my top 5 favorite dogs, so whats your issue?

  • @burqabob I'm confused, are you directing the comment to me? Or someone else, yes I am American, and I still think the BC is the best, so I don't really see where you are coming from.

  • @burqabob I mixed comments up. This one was not directed at you. Sorry.

  • @squidattacksbus its a matter of opinion and dont tell people how to make their own videos!

  • @squidattacksbus its a matter of opinion :)

  • your comments ruin the video

  • @knix11 agreed

  • @agilityislife hey check out the video of my BC watching tv.

    Cant touch her.

    favourite video on youtube btw!

  • SEE YOU IN WORLD CHAPMIONSHIP ILL BEAT YOU!!!!!

  • @cjsanchez1 HAHAHAHAHHA

  • they are all BC in this vid... BC can come in red, blue, and tri just like Aussie's.... maybe you should think before you put something like that down.

  • Border Collies are MY favorite of all canines and most likely of all animals of the world, including humans. However, they are NOT the best for EVERYONE!

    So many Border Collies are surrendered to shelters, or neglected, abused, or even dumped on the side of a dark road,by people who have gone out carelessly and acquired one, only because they had "heard" the breed was the "smartest" the "best" and how "no other breed compares to a border collie.

    They are high maintenance and not for just anyone

  • I have a Border Collie too and she is so great. They are thought to be the smartest breed and I definitely agree. Mine is an unusual color -chocolate merel- so many people mistake her for an Aussie. All I do is point to the tail and shake my head. =) I know some Aussies have tails. Though most people fail to realize that. This video is a great honor to our Borders!

  • You can't touch them? what you mean? are you okay of your mind? Nice dogs

  • i have one.... still a puppy and very cute... check out my channel at look at my video hooper

  • ok it was an alright video but you need to stop saying you cant touh them..and in the one pic there were almost all aussies not boarder collies.........

  • @LuvBunny3296 get over it?

  • @LuvBunny3296 You're the one who decided to watch the video, you're such an expert - you can spell perfectly "almost all aussies not boarder collies" - Border Collies!

    I'm sure the person who made this video, can make it however they plan too.

    Amazing video.

    Border collies for life! x

  • @LuvBunny3296 aussie border collies FTW

  • @LuvBunny3296 Actually, those were mainly border collies. In fact, I did not see one Aussie. And I have won dog bowls thirteen times. It where they show you a picture of a dog and you have to be able to say the breed, group, and origin. Those border collies are called, "Performance Border Collies"

  • @LuvBunny3296 its not boarder collies its border collies, and actually all of them were border collies :|

  • @LuvBunny3296 I didn't see any Aussies(: All i saw were beautiful Border Collies(:

  • @LuvBunny3296 what are you talking about? Australian Shepherds have naturally bobbed(short) tails, all of the dogs in this video are border collies

  • @LuvBunny3296 Border Collies come in Merle colors like Aussies, too.

    To the maker of this video, agreed, BC are amazing. My Aussie gets put up against them in her agility classes all the time. But i still wouldn't trade his talent & speed for the world (: Also, Nice video. i actually liked it !

  • @LuvBunny3296 i know, some pople, you know...

  • Good vid.! ^^

    I LOVE border collies! :3

    But there's no music... :'(

  • @Ragnildje um, really? I thought the soundtrack was wonderful

  • I have a border collie but she´s not like this, she doesn't like to run and hates agility. She's really crazzy!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • What's the biggest difference between a Border Collie and a liberal, a democratic politician, a Muslim, and a religious zealot? Border Collies are highly intelligent creatures that can be reasoned with. They are the smartest dog in the world and are smarter than a whole lot of people.

  • I have a border collie and shes about 3 years old now!!

  • Border collies are the smartest dog breed in the world :D

  • i agree!

  • I have tri colour BC hes really smart but, he is only 4 weeks old :D

  • I just got my first Border Collie at 8 weeks old, he's now 10 weeks, he's already learned how to do simple commands. Sit, lay down, fetch a ball. They are truly an amazing breed, smart and energetic, will not trade this breed for no other.

  • I grew up with a border (she was like a little sister), they are so smart, such good listeners and are very good family dogs (if u have the room to run and things for them to do). My parents dog use to heard the lawn mower, told my parents when it was time to pick me up from school, alert us about bad weather and fetch the news paper. Borders are so smart!

  • They really are the best breed. There are no better friends out there. I have a Border Collie mix and a pure bred puppy. They are just the best! :D

  • i have 2 but 1 is just black and mine is a black and white 1 so yea but they are both girls but they are deffelent not house hold cuase if you have a couch BEWARE (they always chew the couch) and jump a fence so yea but they are cute i think they are 1 or 2 yrs old and they fight :(

  • Border collies are AMAZING. Best and smartest dog ever.

    Nothing compares to a border collie.

  • i have 4 collies they are by far the best breed! =]

    1 of them doesn't really fit the intelligent bit!! :P

    they all work and lovee it!! lol

  • oh, and that was not directed at the person who made this video. I like BCs. They kick ass at agility.

  • are people seriously trying to argue that one breed is the best in every way? lmao @ that

  • no but they ARE the smartest dog in the world- FACT!

    and they are loving kind natured animals truly a mans best friend.

  • Actuallly Border Collies are the best breed for herding and for smarts...German sheps are in the top ten, the poodle i believe is number two??? I have a BC she is smart but she is full of anxiety. I do love both breeds and my next will most likely be a Doberman tho :)

  • best dogs EVER! (:

  • shepherds are great dogs but the border collie is by far the best dog in the world

  • ur right but i also like boston terriers and border collies

  • the german sheherds are breedet so mutch that they got a lot of problems whit deseases now

  • arn't kelpies a mix of BC and prerie dog?

  • @halla369 Prairie dogs are rodents. Kelpies are BC and Dingo, but no one knows for sure.

  • @hickchick204934 but the bes gues is Prairie dog and BC right?

  • @halla369 Prairie dogs arent dogs, they are rodents, so no lol

  • I have a golden retriever border collie cross. He's fast, furry and inteligent! They certainly are smart dogs, thats fact, but it depends on your own look at things whether they're the best ever. I think every dog is awesome! I have no complete favorite.

  • Me Too But I Have A Boston Terrier So I Think That I Like Them A Little More Than Any Other Dog

  • Best dog ever

  • 30,000 view

    YAY

  • Here here to the best breed ever!

  • Hey, what song did you have before the faggots removed it?

  • my opinion my dog is the best but thats because she was always there for me i lost her 8 days after i turned 16 today is two months sine ive lived without

    she got paralyzed in her back legs

    surgery couldnt help. :/

    but i plan on getting a collie because of the intelligence and of course for frisbee flyball and agility :)

  • Sorry to hear of your loss.

  • Boxers are the best breed. Border Collies are OK

  • Well, borders might not the best. I guess that depends on your definition. But certainly the smartest. And that's proven fact. And definitely one of the top athletic breeds.

  • LOL at those giving me the thumbs down. My extended family have five Border Collies and they are working dogs all. Smarter harder working dogs you'd be hard pressed to find. If you want to blow their minds have two of my nieces walk in different directions on the beach. Watching 'Zara' try to herd them together is amusing to say the least.

  • *further*

    When house prices return to sensible levels my wife will be getting a BC, I'll be getting a Boxer.

  • border collies are the smartest, best herders, most energetic, best companion, one of the fastest, and one of the most beautiful dogs in the world! and they always win obedience trials, agility trials, and flyball companions. They are helper dogs, police dogs, war dogs and drug dogs. They are awesome with children and other animals.

    What do Boxers do? DROOL!

    No I'm just kidding, Boxers are awesome dogs, one my favourites,but seriously,

    BORDER COLLIES FTW!

  • At this weekends BC & Yukon Regional Agility Championships both the 22" & 26" classes were won by Australian Kelpies :-). Every Kelpie entered qualified for the Nationals. They are the best breed ever!
