Anonymous - 2009-04-20 I love these dogs. They are the smartest dog I've ever seen. They are also extremely active. They will try to herd everything and everyone. Mine herd everything from our ducks and chickens to my thoroughbreds. I couldn't imagine a better dog breed.

Leila - 2011-08-17 A neighbour of mine had a collie also and she used to love to play fetch with sticks. You just had to pick up a stick for her to get ready to aim! She was a real peoples dog and never bothered with other dogs. She had blue eyes.
Jenny Gregson - 2009-02-24 Border collies are used for herding sheep in a big way in Australia.
Also there is a series of Sheepdog Trials held every year in country towns. Each dog has to herd 3 sheep around a set course and into a pen, guided by only verbal instructions from the handler. There is one held in Grenoch, South Australia, which does the whole Scottish thing, with Pipe bands and Highland dancing.
There's even been a series of Sheepdog Trials on TV.
David B - 2008-07-17 When I was growing up we had a border collie because my grandfather used them on his horse ranch and they were my father's favorite dog. The dogs name was Tippy and I must say, they are the smartest dog in the world! He was a great family dog, very protective (I have 2 brothers and 1 sister) and was very good at understanding what was going on in humans heads. He always understood what you wanted and was more than willing to do it! I will never forget that dog.
