You've done an amazing job raising/training him. That's a special bond you've made, and, I imagine, it's going to be a fantastic journey. My boy is almost 13 years. We have the same connection, I see you have with your dog. Enjoy it. It's been an amazing experience.
His genetics are exactly those that produce the most beautiful border collies. His structure and coat are fantastic. And above all the head structure and the shape of the ears are perfect. He could easily be a brother of my dog Luna. I think that border collie should be bred with preference
I love this. Your connection with your boy is beautiful to see. My border collie is a little over a year ago, and I love the connection we are developing. It's pure love and joy.
Il border collie è una creatura fantastica, sa fare tutto è un grande compagno di vita, con lui mai più tristezza o solitudine nella tua vita,è sempre gioioso ,ti parla e ti ascolta con lo sguardo non ha bisogna della parola.
I can't tell you how inspirational your video is. Just marvelous, and that is a gross understatement. You have done an amazing job and should be recognized for your achievement. But what else could be expected with a border collie? They are the best! I have a long coat male Chihuahua - black overall with white socks, snoot and markings - that I tell folks once was a border collie...until I washed him and he shrank. The look of these puppies...sleek and intelligent...is heartwarming. Thanks again, and keep up the great work!
I hope someone who really knows will answer, but are all border collies this smart? I mean, can all be trained to such a level or is this dog just a genius combined with a great teacher? Was this dog picked from a litter of genius parents? Surely it's not just a random border collie, is it? It's just very impressive to see such skill.
Hey new jawnm yes they are. Just take a border to a certified breeder even if, fortunately, border collies are not (yet) destroyed by breeders like they done with german shepherd breed. I've got one border collie and a real german shepherd too and I can ensure you that mine BC is smart like this one in video ... but of course you have to give your dogs ALL YOUR LOVE. Another humble suggestion I can give is to remember that a dog live 120% of is life for you, you are its GOD, so be the better god on planet! (love)
They are smart, yes, but they learn EVERYTHING. Things you want them to learn, and also things you don't want them to learn. They observe you and recognize "after this comes that", and so they know. Also, I think the trainer is really really good. You have to be able to cope with over-arousal and frantic behaviour as well when training a BC. Got my second BC now and I think I'm spoiled for any other breed...
