Bizarre Things My Border Collie Loves 

I made Part 2 to this video! See my border collie react to lasers, vacuums, and cracking eggs ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dwJrOnIVAuY.html

My border collie, Jessy, just passed away after 17 years of a wonderful life. This video helped me so much. There is NOTHING like a border collie's quirks. Thanks.

I recently lost my 11.5 year old border collie...she had markings so much like Ellie. This made me tear up. What a funny wonderful little girl. Please cherish EVERY DAY you have together....

My BC is 13 now. Up until a year ago he looked and acted like a puppy. He's slowed down a lot now. An hour of exercise and he sleeps the whole day. And he's gone grey! In his few hours when hes not sleeping he is still the most intelligent, active dog!

Amazing curiosity, raw intelligence, boundless energy - this is a very happy dog enjoying life to the fullest. Plus she's really adorable!

Some people are posting this dog is bored and not exercised enough. If you have never owned a border collie then you wouldn't understand. I have a border collie mix. The border collie genes take over my dog's DNA....He appears mostly border collie. Meanwhile you can walk these types of dogs or mixes, 20 times a day/45 minutes each and they are still like this even if you run them too. Border Collies have a high energetic drive and a high pray drive compared to other breeds. It's genetic. Nothing phases their energy. Even if you do not occupy their minds they will entertain them selves with funny behaviors. It does not mean the owners are doing something wrong. They are very intelligent animals. My dog is 9 years old now, but he still acts like he is 2 years old. His energy drive has toned down a lot, but still has his daily spurts. These kinds of dogs are always on the go. If you have owned or do own one, you will understand this and puppy stage is the worst phase to deal with...lol.

The mixture of intensity and sweetness and quirkiness makes these guys the best ever.

The absolutley most amazing breed in the world. Its not even close

I have 2 Border Collies and they are smart and athletic. My one BC is smarter than a lot of my relatives. Greatest Breed in my opinion.

Watching border collie videos is not helping with me wanting one so badly. I have everything planned out for when I get one ohmygod

Exactly like my collie. I love how it just takes one word to send em on a mission. Such good dogs

You have a beautiful border collie. Undoubtedly one of the best (if not the best) dogs to own.We used to have one (Floss) but she died ten years ago aged eleven. They fill your life with absolute joy and are always delighted to see you. They are hard work to keep entertained and need an incredible amount of exercise but they repay your toil in spades. You cannot help but develop a fantastic, rewarding and loving relationship with these fantastic black and white creatures. Enjoy. The both of you.

Border collies are such great dogs.

bc's have such interesting personalities!

What a smart and beautiful girl Elli is! Thank you, watching this brightened my day. :)

Border collies = Love!❤️

They are the smartest dogs ever. Attacks falling snow.

Border Collies, the best and smartest dogs in the world, our BC Cross Barkley also has a 'thing' about pine cones :-) Thanks for sharing, Elli looks beautiful !!!!

A issue to think about when considering a border collie: They are SO FREAKIN' SMART that they can often seem to CRAVE CONSTANT mental stimulation...and when they don't get it, can seem to develop GENUINELY neurotic tendencies.

A wonderful dog and a neat place to live. Good show Elli.

I had to laugh. Every collie I've ever had was into the "playing with pine cones" thing.

I see nothing bizarre, they just want to play and have fun :)

Basket ball is too hard for the dog. A Mason and Hamlin piano is a true delight.

It's notre bizarre, the border collier is the "top 1" intelligent dog

My border collie loves washing machines, tumble dryers and hair dryers! BCs are the best dogs x

you can give them 12 hours of activities and they still would be like that. mine didn't slow down until he was about 11-12 years old. but he would still have bouts of energy.

Border collies are smart and handsome

Border Collies are fun and crazy. Mine loves learning tricks and being a goofball. Even at 10 years old she is still full of energy.

You have a beautiful dog. And like many others it reminds me of my border collie of 15 years. RIP Skye.

She is as beautiful as our collie Same beautiful madness

Border Collies ran the moors and glens of Scotland. That's why they have double coats, which throw off the rain. Their leg feathers are our wellies. They are strong, loving, loyal and wonderfully intelligent. Guardian Angels. ❤

Best pets ever. They are so smart. I lost one recently, after 16 wonderful years. Too sad to get another right now. Enjoy the time you have, she is awesome.

she is one inquisitive and a beautiful dog. im planning to have one soon. also you have a beautiful neighbourhood and home

I love your dog, and what a beautiful home and grounds you have for him to play in!

Wonderful. Border collies are the best.

This was such a joy to see!

So cute! I love the white mark on his lower back! I have a border collie and just love him SO much!

They all do strange things. I’ve had 4 Border Collies at different times. A friend called and asked for advise with Border Collies and I told her don’t do anything your don’t want to do everyday 2 days in a row. It becomes a habit for them and you’ll never be able to stop doing it.

I just love Border Collie 💕💕💕💕

Border collie: Sees turtle Also border collie: **I MUST HERD THIS**

I could spend hours just watching a collie do it's thing, best dogs!

The greatest breed. I miss our Mandy who died last December at 14 years old. Wonderful companion.

Beautiful BC. Love them.

Elli is so adorable!

Our BC Bessie (wife's good girl) died lil over a month ago at 17 yrs. Then her companion Drake (my good boy) also a BC died a week later, he had a massive tumor (that we didn't know about) had to put him too sleep exactly one week after Bessie's passing. We had Drake for 8 yrs, he was about 10 yrs total age. Just got an all black BC Austrian Shepard mix 2 yr female. I named her Betty. Yes after the Ram Jam song 'Black Betty' she took to her name right away! Should have called her shadow as she is truly my shadow. This one chose me, so as with all of my companions Betty goes everywhere with me. She looks good riding around in our vintage VW's...especially my bus Eleanor. So happy to have her and what a lover girl! Thanks for letting me vent gang as I am still hurting over the loss of our other BC's.

We had a border collie named Cooper. My form of entertainment as an 8 year old was turning on the sprinklers and watching Cooper attack the water.

haha my collie does this too. He also likes to drop tennis balls down the stairs

Our border collie freaks out if you say ride and won’t sit still. Then he drools and foams at the mouth for the entire ride. He also barks like crazy if anyone give a high five.

I like to watch this once a week .........it helps lift my mood . X

That's completely my border collie now i know that there are other Border Collies like this

Elli is beautiful Kaitlin, great video!

If I made a video showing all my Border Collies quirks, it would run at least two hours long lol! Ya gotta love a Border Collie.

I love this dog! :D

I love your Border Collie!!

My border collie does the same thing in the snow, and I cant tell you how many basketballs we have gone through. She also goes nuts when we sing happy birthday. They are so smart though. We play hide and seek with her all the time. Shes even learned to open the door to the garage so she can get outside with us.

I love how she tilts her head when she's listening

I don’t have to tell you this: border collies are smart!

Apologies if you already know this but such "quirks" are classic signs of an un-filfilled border collie. From this video she's given some mixed and confusing signals which don't allow her to ever feel she's completed a task successfully.

This is freaking adorable, my dog is almost the same except with the last two

Very cute dog!!

awesome dog !!

I love how when Ellie barks it echoes so loud where ever you live. :)

Note to new BC owners...if you're having problems with your pup, then they need more exercise. That's almost always the solution. 20 yrs with them now. They also calm down some around 2 yrs of age. Anything else is just a dog. PS. great pup on the vid.

Made my day

I love working with border collie

Awh she's adorable!

I thought it was a completely normal dog, until it came to the piano.

my border collie absolutely hates it when I play the piano, I pull out the bench and she goes straight to bed.

Our BC is infatuated with water and the dishwasher. It jumps up and down like a fox hunting a mouse under snow when the dishwasher is opened and then turned on to run. Our BC loves the garden hose and loves to get sprayed with the hose and watch his water bowl get filled. He loves Frisbee and balls and his rope. BC are good dogs but they take your time and shed a lot.

Your dog is so cute!

The piano was the cutest thing...adorable

My dog likes the lawnmower, balloons, opening a bicycle lock, bottles, rolling over dead groundhogs and birds who have been killed by a car, digging holes, etc.

I love this so much

love your dog

My border collie will played with a dried up piece of leaf if there is nothing else

My sheltie has some of that herding quirkiness as well, but not nearly as much as border collies. They have so much drive!

Your collie is freaked out n stressed with a sudden noise her running around like that is fear

Herding the turtle lol! They are truly a unique breed.

Funny! What a cute border collie!

my BC "Gus" used to do those same things. except he didn't like water, he hated water. He didn't like to play fetch but loved trying to keep other dogs from playing fetch lol. oh and he for some reason had a special thing for whistle pigs(marmots). Whenever he heard one he'd start growling and his lips would curl up. don't know why, i had him since he was a pup and he wasn't traumatized by one.

That dog is trying to herd the piano.

I watched your video just before I got my Border Collie named Bones. Bones is now two years old and I came across this video again. C: I love it.

The mine and such for balloons, he does not like the vacuum cleaner, he fled the original. So here it is.

What’s good about border collies compared to other dogs is you never have to cut their claws. They’re too busy. Oh wait, I spoke wrong; everything is good, but mine doesn’t like Suzuki Samari 4x4s, beagles, or our neighbour Misses Bucket.

This is soooooo mega cute :) 😍🐶

Beautiful dog

My border collie reacts the same way over the word walk. She really does recognize the real word. I say, "Go for--?" (her ears perk) "Go for--?" So, then I tried, "Go for bok?" or "Go for nok?" Her ears go flat when it's not the right word. Then I say the magic words, "Go for walk?" and she goes beserk, spinning in circles, whining, and panting.

My brothers collie whenever someone from the house sneezed, he would run around the house in circles just like when your run after getting the can opened! Soo funny!

Her constant circling is a sign that she is under stimulated. Try getting her one of those red rubber balls and put peanut butter and broken up dog treats in it.

very nice dog. thanks much for sharing

Ive got a Rottie, Border Collie, and a Bullmastiff. They're all amazing and very smart dogs :)

From what I have learned from my Border collie Posey they don't like wheels.

I bet he goes insane when you play the piano lol

My border collie does weird stuff when he's bored too =) I think it's because the constantly crave mental stimulation. He will obsess over your plastic soda bottles while you're drinking it hoping you'll let him have it to play with, and he constantly hunts for lizards in our back yard.

Keep telling yourself that till the day you have to put it down or get it a doggie wheelchair. My B.C. will be running circles around it.

adorable

nice piano. beautiful Doggy :D

my border collie does the same thing with cars. If we pass one, she'll sit at the door expecting someone to let her in. lol.

aww so cute!

Great collection. My bc mix also herds occasionally and go in circles, around me, if he is excited, or just for fun, when he doesn't find his fetch and gets angry... Runs as crazy till exhausted. He also likes strange noises, like opening a can, or spoon in a teacup.. scratching, he does the head tilt.
