I had a border collie growing up and she acted EXACTLY this way whenever we came home. Didn't matter if it was from work, school, wherever. What a wonderful and smart breed! I'd have another in a minute!
I rescued my 8yr old BC from my folks(some people should never own dogs).. He is eternally grateful that he gets to live his life in a loving home. There is something about rescue dogs that is endearing, there is no hint of entitlement.
we have just lost our much love border collie jess and we are heart broken we had 18 yrs joy together she was so loving and was truly our best friend we could never replace her
I just lost one of my beloved border collies a few months ago. I miss her a great deal. However, this video just brings a huge smile to my face. I would love to have an excitable, social furball like that to play with everyday.
I’m sorry for your loss. You were blessed to have had 18 yrs with your pup❤️🐾. No one could EVER replace her but you might want to consider sharing your love with another pup in the future. I can’t imagine life without a dog
I first adopted an Aussie/BC from a small pet store and brought her home in '79. My father told me to return her as he didn't want anymore dogs after my brother's German Shepherd died in '79. My mother disagreed, saying I needed my own dog, especially after my best friend had died after a seizure in bed and I was depressed. I was crying in my room and holding onto a little Collie mix that kept kissing and snuggling me all over and wouldn't stop as we watched a "ST" rerun that night. I hears a whistle and she ran downstairs. I was afraid he'd grab her and take her back to the shelter-not where I bought her for $25. After about 15 min., he brought her back to my room and said I could keep her as she'd made him and my mother very happy. I did and she also made my little 2 year old niece happy when she was angry or sad-before we even knew she was upset about something. She did the same thing to us so I named this little 6 week old pup Gem and added (the Empath) to her as she, like many dogs we'd owned, was empathic. She lived to be almost 14 years and died in '92, the same year my ful-bred Border Collie Tess was born on a farm in N. Ga. She only had 3 litters and lived to be 16.2 yrs., but my next favourite was a male my other niece and parents named JackBNimble. He lived to be 17 and a big boy-not fat, just a thick double coat as he was mostly an outdoor boy-and we adopted a girlfriend-Little Bo Peep-and her red/white BC cousin I named Gypsy Rose Lee (she lived up to her name and hated to wear "dog clothes"). LBP and GRL lived to be 13.11 and 14.8 yrs. respectively til '18. I miss them all and wish I could adopt an older, retired BC who just needs some extra loving in her or his final years, but I'm pushed into moving into an elderly retirement apt. soon and they no doubt have a wt.limit on dogs. Maybe, a female Cardigan Corgi might do as Pembrokes are a bit hyper for apts. I've been told. Anyone experienced a difference here?
OHHH MY GOODNESS. I've had border collies since I was a young child and there's honestly nothing like them. They are so smart and loving. When they are treated like they should be, they are the best companions in the world. I love my current border collie like no other. She is one of a kind with her witty and sweet personality! So glad other people understand and can share in the experience of owning such a loving creature.
what a beautiful dog! she's so very sweet and happy. i had a border collie when i was younger, she's probably the main reason i survived high school. please give beautiful Laika lots of cuddles for me.
My youngest BC was rehomed to us from a farm as a non-worker at 1yr old and had spent his entire life confined to a cramped kennel outside which caused him to develop compulsive circling from sheer boredom and prolonged confinement. He had never stepped foot inside a house, been in a car, left the farm or seen anyone other than the farmer and his wife but quickly settled in at home and came out of his shell and grew more confident by the day. He never takes life as a spoiled indoor family dog for granted and I swear he goes nuts like this if we're only out of the house for a few hours. When any of us get home we're now in the habit of taking off shoes and coat and putting down bags or whatever in the hallway before opening the living room door because the second you open it he's on you jumping 4ft in the air and wiggling furiously like a salmon swimming upstream. Our oldest wags her tail and goes in for a tummy rub but she's been with us since 8-weeks so has never known life without all this fuss and attention but the youngest seems grateful for every second he's here and laps up every snuggle and cuddle like its his first one. There is no other dog in the world like the Border Collie.
Predivan pas. Hvala vam na ovom snimku. Gospodine imate zaista divnog psa. Zelim vam da on dugo pozivi i da zajedno sa njim i vi prozivite nezaboravne trenutke. Posdrav Greetings from Serbia
Love watching these videos and Seanthesheepman ones too. Sean's up in Scotland and has 3 BCs-Kate, Echo, and Storm-herd sheep and to watch those BCs practically fly as they turn clockwise (come), anti-clockwise (away) to get those sheep to mind their orders by Sean's whistles or verbal commands. I used to give my Tess these order some mindless geese at a park back into a small lake so they wouldn't frighten the children playing nearby. She obeyed me, but the mgr wasn't too happy since she didn't have on her leash. "She can't herd with a leash on," a little boy told him. I think he said, "With a leash on, she's obeying my order, young man." He had a Scottish accent and sounded like Scotty and it turned out that he had experience with Border Collies as I met him with some BCs herding goats eating Kudzu off some trees near my house one day as we walked by to go to the shopping centre.
I am from Recife, in Brazil, south america, and i own two border Collies with pedigrees, both of em, however, i am always so busy... i am an ophthalmologist, and i am always on the go with patients and stuff; but when i am free? on my down times? boy, do i enjoy being with them!!!
Border Collies will insist on constant interaction with you. It makes you love them so much. They love to play with you, and they love training, which is intellectually stimulating for them. Great dogs!
I had the same issue with my border collie. Many thought she was overweight, and then when she got wet you could see that it was all due to a thick coat. Even the vet said her weight was perfect.
I had a border collie that the vet said was fat, so I put him on a diet. I thought it was just coat. Eventually, another vet told me that the first vet was wrong and it was all coat. The poor dog nearly starved for 6 months because of the wrong diagnosis. He had a very thick coat. Not all border collies have the same coat - some hardly any; some very thick.
Beautiful ❤️🐾. This could be my pup! She looks exactly like Penny my Border Collie. You would not believe it if you saw my dog! She is just as loving and so happy when greeting family!! Best dogs EVER!❤️
Well, our dog was totally an inside dog and she had only a living room. She probably ran in the order of 10,000 laps around the furniture in her lifetime playing various games. We kept her busy and thinking with all the game variations we created. So, I'd say that as long as you keep them mentally engaged, they'll be fine. Oh yeah, and feed them properly too....we screwed up for quite a while with an improper diet.
My collie looks big but after swimming looks very slim. He's very rough coated. At any rate the dog in this video is very happy and obviously healthy. With all the problems in the world let's count our blessings!
I too am the proud owner of a Border Collie and they are the best dog in the world. But this video is just wonderful. You have a beautiful dog. I wish that every dog in the world could always be this happy. ❤
My border collie does this! Except he does this when he hasn't seen you for over two hours not two months. I think he might explode out of happiness if he saw someone agian after two months haha
Another example of how dogs are truly mans best friend; they enrich our lives so much. Your parents seem like great people too who love Laika as much as you do (and the feeling is mutual). This is Australia?
Not at all. My border collie is home all day with me because I am working from home. My daughter goes to high school. Even when my border collie doesn’t see me for about 30 minutes, she got so excited when she saw me. My border collie gets excited seeing everyone and every dogs. Some dogs are just happen to be too excited. It’s not because they are left alone for a long time. They are just friendly dogs.
Border Collies are something else, guess that's why we have no less than six at a time all through the years since our first in 1999, adorable, fun, smart and loyal.
