Why isn't this on tv more often?? Better than the Kardasian's show or whatever it's called...

[MonkeyboyZA]

Sigh... yes, because clearly those dogs look tortured. This is a recreational activity for the most part, the fact that the camera is present surely adds to their suffering right? Step off the pedestal before you hurt yourself. For the poster, thank you, really lovely video :)

why did they change they box from one which threw the ball, to one where the ball is just placed infront the dog?

[Ingoivalde]

Border Collies everywhere . Kinda boring. I wanna see more variety, even tho I know BC:s are the best of the best.

[origamiburitto]

i guarantee you that the dogs enjoy this more than the people watching and handling them.

[FIOCAKE Bale]

To working/herding dogs, exercise is PLAY, just like it is for human professional athletes. These athlete, dogs and humans alike, ENJOY the thrill of exercise. YOU, on the other hand, obviously know nothing about dogs or exercise... you probably sit on your butt all day and stare at the wall don't you?

[FIOCAKE Bale]

what the uninformed butts. You realize that working/herding dogs are called WORKING/HERDING dogs because they love to exercise and work right? And yeah, because those dogs are obviously super excited and happy, because they're tortured... LOL.

[Dogglebee675]

Yeah... Because how eager those dogs are to jump those hurdles... Trying to pull their handler's arms out of their sockets... It obviously means that they are so miserable with it....

[Dogglebee675]

Wow.... That is so cool

[breanneelong]

Okay, let me clarify for you. Border Collies were ORIGINALLY bred to herd.

[1amelee]

Actually now days there are bred to do flyball there are breeders who only breed border collies for flyball, i would know because thats where i have been getting my flyball champs

[breanneelong]

Not quite....they're bred to herd. However, they have incredible focus and are very intelligent making them excellent at all dog sports, including flyball, agility, rally, obedience, etc.
