A Different Working Breed

Written on January 22, 2009 by D.K. Wall in The Thundering Herd

WOW! Aren’t Border Collies awesome!?!? I would love to herd sheeps like that. I don’t think I’d be real good at the “listening to what the bipeds tell you to do” part, though.
Thanks for sharing that video!!!
Love,
Ammy

That sibe was so excited to go play with those sheep! Those Border Collies are very smart, but I think I could still outrun him.

I LOVE the photo os the Sibe – great shot!

A message for Ammy ~ We at Team Husky think that the listening to the bipeds part wouldn’t be your main problem…..it would be those JAWS OF STEEL!!!

Maybe Biloxi is on to something – they use border collies here to keep those pesky and dirty geese away from the pedestrians at one of OP’s largest employers.

Woos, the OP Pack

I don’t understand why that dog wasn’t jumping all over the sheep and howling and such. Maybe he/she just wasn’t feeling good that day.
