@Honeybowtie they're really working dogs rather than pets, they have too much energy, get bored easily without something to do and they have a strong herding instinct, they'll try and herd anything including the kids
@soupdragon151 I have four collies, a collie x lurcher, a toy poodle and two cats. So long as they get out for an hours run a day, they will happily sleep scattered around my living room in front of the fire - just like they're doing right now in fact. I grew up with my oldest, who *tried* to herd me as a pup - after being scolded a couple of times, she understood. The times you'll see Collies with problems is when they don't get enough exercise - and who's faults that, the dogs or the owners?
@NextMrsBradPitt My dog`s problems arose after being attacked by a staff bull.You`re commenting about something you have no clue of.Border Collie`s are NOT difficult to train" either.
@Honeybowtie They *need* to get enough exercise a day. A 20 min walk on the lead down the street won't cut it. I'm talking about a full hour of constant running or ball fetching. I've had several foster dogs with the same issues and the main reason is because they don't get enough exercise. As you saw on the video, collie's will keep going, and going and going. Collie's aren't easy dogs. Trust me it is possible, I have four and they're *all* asleep scattered around my feet :)
@NextMrsBradPitt I`ve been seeing an expert on Border Collies..His information`s genius..My dog has aggression issues.He lacks no exercise I own two Borders". Everyone assumes Border Collie`srequire 24 hr a day attention.I`ve learned it`s not the case. Murphy`s coming along brilliantly in his rehabilitation plan. All the same,thanks for sharing your words.
1:53 lol its funny how the sheep trusted the farmer around her babies but not the dog haha so cute and i love the dog. Smartest dog in the world right?
love these dogs my border girl is 3 and is gorgeous, she even brings me my slippers when i get in, can,t believe how quick they learn and how loyal and loving they are if i had a farm i would take ten of them.
@QuimChaos lol they're the easiest learners of all dogs, the only problem is they also learn very fast "wrong" things and then it's difficult to get this behaviour to stop
Every reference I looked into, tells me that border collies are not good as a pet. They are just way way too smart to sit around do nothing but 'come sit stay'... When I watch sheep herding videos like this... I can totally understand. These dogs are purposely bred to work... They need to run all over the place while thinking and planning... amazing animals.
Absolutely love this breed. Due to my allergies I have to compromise and go for a border terrier instead though. They're pretty fantastic companions, as well.
i'm so glad some ppl still use dogs for real work and not for show. it would be a real shame to loose all the traits BCs have because someone forgot about them when breeding for stupid looks.
@ACHNACONE Most will if you let them. All of my border collies will go to stock on their own if they doesn't think I'm watching. Very not allowed though. "Working" stock without a person is "harassing" stock.
i have a question. Do sheep dogs herd sheep only under mans supervision? i want to depict a scene in a cartoon where sheep live on a small island and a dog is herding them so they dont escape into the town or somewhere, but the dog must be alone just keeping an eye walking around the herd on his own. is that possible? I know there are guardian dogs that guard sheep from predators, but the island cant have any predators, so i need some advice. thank you
@MrOnePlusOneIs3 That old crap "you can't teach and old dog new tricks" Is just a load of BS... old dogs learn just as well, if not better than puppies. It's best to START young, but there is NEVER a point in a dogs life that they won't learn
@MrOnePlusOneIs3 Of course your dog can still learn. I have a Border Collie that I rescued at the age of 5 and he is 10 now and the best cattle and sheep dog we have at my family farm. A dog is never to old to learn, you just have to stick with it. Good Luck!
@MrOnePlusOneIs3 Yes. If it is a bordercollie, it will be easier to train, since they are very smart. But it is still easy to train puppies. They are usually eager to learn. If you are having trouble, rent some ceaser millan videos, and you should be alright.
Many borders don't start training until they are 2! The older they are the easier they are to train. You want your dog to have excellent obedience before you train them with sheep and that comes with time and older age. If your doggie loves sheep then go for it. Many borders prefer to chase vs herding so you could try frisbee or tennis balls if sheep aren't as much fun. All borders herd but some like to chase more (prey drive). My border is a chaser and loves the frisbee :).

ogmggggigingignign yess@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@2 i have one and she is 3 years old now \we are still teaching her tricks and training her theres never a deadline with her!
a strong bond is formed between a man and his sheepdog. Definately true. You won't find a more loyal, friendly eager to please you breed of dog.
It was only two days ago I have my five year and two year old child playing with my collie. The children were at one end of the stick with my collie at the other end playing tug of war so gently
If I only had the chance I would take my collie dog to the beach cliffs of Scotland to let her herd some sheep. That would be the trip of a lifetime for the both of us =).
awww i wish i got my border collie wen he was smaller i got him when he was like 6 months old so he was all big :// but i still love my dog his name is lobo=wolf :D hes soo fluffay :3
does anyone know if there is a way for a border collie to exersices its herding instincts without going to a farm every day cause i want to exerscie it in my dog but i dont know how
If you have a safely enclosed yard or garden, or even a large open space in your home, you can throw a bunch of toys out (balls work best as they roll around) and let your dog herd the toys around. My BC loves herding his toys. I kick the balls so that they roll along the floor away from him and he has to keep fetching them back to the "herd". He likes to roll them along with his paws and nose while carrying another in his mouth. He can bring back 3 at a time, it's fun to watch.
Bonjour je suis admirative devant l'intelligence de ces borders collie . J'ai eu l'occasion de voir une chose surprenante lors d'une fête défilé de rue dans le cadre associatif , il y avait un troupeau d'oies qui obéissaient au chien qui était tellement concentré et attentif que les oies , dès qu'il y en avait une légèrement en dehors du rang la rappelait à l'ordre pour la coller au troupeau
Your video is very well done and thank you for sharing this! I am considering a border collie to help with farmwork-sheep, goats and possibly cattle... Thank you~Rose
i have a border collie and she is gorgeous,the only drawback is we live in a city and i just feel bad that she hasn,t got loads of countryside to run about in, but she has got the park . if i had a farm i would probably buy about ten of them, they are the best dogs ,love them.
It is astonishing to note the transformation in a working sheep dog. From 0:44 where the young dog is absolutely wild, out of control, and all over the place, to 1:43 where it has learnt both self-control, as well as the ability to understand, and do exactly as his master wants him to do with the sheep.
We had a cross Welsh collie many years ago - they make great pets with children too.
Great video..I am lucky enough to own two (non working) BC's...and they are quite demanding..but the rewards they give you in return are unbeatable from any other breed (IMO)
I was wondering if border collies have a lot of dander? My younger brother has allergies and I really want to get a border collie but am not sure whether if it's a good idea if they shed a lot or have lots of dander
i live on a farm in norway, and we have 4 border collies :D they are 1, 4, 9 and 14 years old, they love herding sheeps :P one time, one of them herded 80 of our sheeps out if their pasture, and right in to the lawn outside our house. then, she herded them back again, just to proove what she could do :P
I agree about the herding instincts. I have a 6 yr old Golden Retriever male and a 10 month old Border Collie female. I believe she thinks he is a sheep as she just stalks him all day. When he runs , ...she runs after him and grabs the fleshy part of his face or ears. He yelps, but never bites her.
@BryanDougall1 They turn anything into a toy, I could make a list longer then youtube will allow. soccerball racketball soda bottle golf ball cat toys clothes furniture rope cables ornaments cleaning supplies and much much more
Hello, I tip my hat to Border Collies. I have a one, and her name is Macy. She is 4 years old (In Dog years) Well one day my family, my dog, and I went to the lake one time last summer. I took my eye off of my 7 year old brother for 30 sec. My familly and I heard a loud scream. It was my little brother who started to drown. I dashed to save him, and in a blink of an eye. My dog (Macy) bolted into the water, and paddle to save him. She let him grab her so he could float, untill I could get him =)
@joesoap81 Look I don't give a shit if you believe me or not because your just like those fat ass no lifes that sit behind a computer screen hopeing to start an argument with someone. So Drop your balls. (BLOCKED
Hi, we are trying to choose a border collie pup to keep as a pet and train to a basic level and I would appreciate some advice on what coat type etc. to go for and your general thoughts on this. Thanks.
Beautiful dog! I have a dog that is half Australian shepherd, and she is the most intelligent, focused dog I've ever met. She likes to herd our other dog. Looks so much like the dog in this video, too!
@ACHNACONE Lol, they make horrible watchdogs, at least untrained ones. I walked into my cousin's house after not seeing him for a year and their Bordie collie walked up to me and just started licking my face without ever seeing me before and no one was home.
@sailingonhope Herding in dogs for sheep was honed from hunting tactics from wolves. I am pretty sure there is some vid out there showing wolves hunting.
@sailingonhope yes it is an instinct to herd and if the instinct is not there, they would struggle to move sheep! They do make good watch dogs aswell but they require lots of training and are not great for first time dog owners with no dog experience. Hope this helps.
@sailingonhope Having had border collies most of my life, but never living on a farm, I can safely say that not only are they born with a herding instinct, but if there's no nearby sheep, they'll take the next best target... generally you :)
@Atropinex So true. My aunt's dog managed to herd 72 guests into the corner of the yard at a garden party. Not a single one of them knew why they were there xD
@sailingonhope It is in their nature to herd but they need to be trained to do it more efficiently. Take it from someone who has a Border Collie they make excellent watch dogs. They are very intelligent.
The definition of a border collie is a dog that has genetics for herding. Yes, it is in their soul! There are some "purebred" registries that breed for conformation (how they look), and they are ruining an intelligent, hardworking herding dog. There IS no true color, coat length, size, or shape standard... what is the standard is their ability to herd. That is what they are bred for, and that is what is in their genes. My first BC started herding at six weeks.
I miss my dog soooo much...but this video helped me remember him, and our many days out in the sunny Sierras learning to stop busting up the flock of sheep like a bunch of billiard balls! Thank you for bringing my Muttel back to me for a few minutes.
i had a border collie from a working family, i took him to the dog park for the first time when he was about 6months old, and he herded all the other dogs into a circle... it was probably the best thing i've ever seen LOL
El comentario de abajo dice que 3 border collies se encargaban de "acorralar" a doce o mas niños en una reunion familiar. A punta de mordiscos los tenían quietitos
I once saw a vid of a family reunion scene where the family had three Border Collies that were herding a group of a dozen or so small children around.
Great video. I have 2 border collies mother and son. They are my best friends. I became Disabled And they both somehow taught themselves to be service dogs for me. I can now take one with me at all times in case I need help. They are amazing dogs. Although I hate to call them that. They are so much more then a dog. Their loving family members. If their not welcome someplace, I'm not welcome.
I am really impressed with this video. This year I've got a puppy of miniature Australian Shepherd.
Now He is 11 months old, and I regret that my dog will never herd sheeps for a simple reason: It's hard to find any in New York City. I can see his natural herding insticts that could not be utilized. People very often mix him up with Border Collie.
My boarder collie isn't trained herder, yet she has a natural talent.
However, if she gets too exited, she will switch over to hunting instinct when not under supervision.
She then proceeds to charge into the middle of the flock, scattering the sheep and then screw around with the weakest one. She doesn't harm it, but she "traps" it with the "face to face" paradox. The sheep won't turn around and she won't charge further.
Kind of bothersome, but at least she doesn't ignore withdrawal command.
i think i need to find a sheep herder!! i want this kind of life!! it is so interesting to see how others live. im stuck in the city and just want to breath some of that country air!!
i just gota border collie last month and his name's Ruban. he's only 4 months and i want to train him... does anyone know how to train puppies? i need helpD: lol. good vid btw :]

I agree about the herding instincts. I have a 6 yr old Golden Retriever male and a 10 month old Border Collie female. I believe she thinks he is a sheep as she just stalks him all day. When he runs , ...she runs after him and grabs the fleshy part of his face or ears. He yelps, but never bites her.

Hello, I tip my hat to Border Collies. I have a one, and her name is Macy. She is 4 years old (In Dog years) Well one day my family, my dog, and I went to the lake one time last summer. I took my eye off of my 7 year old brother for 30 sec. My familly and I heard a loud scream. It was my little brother who started to drown. I dashed to save him, and in a blink of an eye. My dog (Macy) bolted into the water, and paddle to save him. She let him grab her so he could float, untill I could get him =)

Hi,
I was wondering if it's in the Collie's nature to herd or if you need to train them. I'm also wondering if Collies make good watchdogs.
Reply, please. Thank you!

collies are usually born with a herding instinct.. ( the working bred ones any way)
and they do make good wathc dogs.,
ACHNACONE 1 year ago 2
@ACHNACONE Lol, they make horrible watchdogs, at least untrained ones. I walked into my cousin's house after not seeing him for a year and their Bordie collie walked up to me and just started licking my face without ever seeing me before and no one was home.

@sailingonhope Herding in dogs for sheep was honed from hunting tactics from wolves. I am pretty sure there is some vid out there showing wolves hunting.

@sailingonhope yes it is an instinct to herd and if the instinct is not there, they would struggle to move sheep! They do make good watch dogs aswell but they require lots of training and are not great for first time dog owners with no dog experience. Hope this helps.

schmitz1988 1 year ago
@sailingonhope Having had border collies most of my life, but never living on a farm, I can safely say that not only are they born with a herding instinct, but if there's no nearby sheep, they'll take the next best target... generally you :)

they are born with the instinct but still need very extensive training. If you like to read, try "Nop's Trials" - it's great!

@sailingonhope It is in their nature to herd but they need to be trained to do it more efficiently. Take it from someone who has a Border Collie they make excellent watch dogs. They are very intelligent.
ukkats1998 1 year ago
The definition of a border collie is a dog that has genetics for herding. Yes, it is in their soul! There are some "purebred" registries that breed for conformation (how they look), and they are ruining an intelligent, hardworking herding dog. There IS no true color, coat length, size, or shape standard... what is the standard is their ability to herd. That is what they are bred for, and that is what is in their genes. My first BC started herding at six weeks.

Takes ages to get a trained one used to a new master. its best to train them yourself.

Great video. I have 2 border collies mother and son. They are my best friends. I became Disabled And they both somehow taught themselves to be service dogs for me. I can now take one with me at all times in case I need help. They are amazing dogs. Although I hate to call them that. They are so much more then a dog. Their loving family members. If their not welcome someplace, I'm not welcome.

I am really impressed with this video. This year I've got a puppy of miniature Australian Shepherd.
Now He is 11 months old, and I regret that my dog will never herd sheeps for a simple reason: It's hard to find any in New York City. I can see his natural herding insticts that could not be utilized. People very often mix him up with Border Collie.
shkola99 2 years ago
My boarder collie isn't trained herder, yet she has a natural talent.
However, if she gets too exited, she will switch over to hunting instinct when not under supervision.
She then proceeds to charge into the middle of the flock, scattering the sheep and then screw around with the weakest one. She doesn't harm it, but she "traps" it with the "face to face" paradox. The sheep won't turn around and she won't charge further.
Kind of bothersome, but at least she doesn't ignore withdrawal command.
