Quote - Border collie? Are you an Aussie, General Nutt? Aren' them ones only here?

Brilliant dogs, those border collies... we went to the Great Australian Outback Spectacular which for the most part was a bit over the top, but the horses were lovely, and the collie stole the show!

Nope, I am Canadian. I've seen many border collies in action, and they all seem pretty smart. Mine was no exception, she was sharp as a whip. Amazing to see she was never near a farm but instinctively would round things up, other dogs, children and even drunks. I would hazard a guess they would be popular where ever there are range animals. She was great with young kids, super patient, never snapped. She did shed constantly though.

Oh, one thing she never ever learned... To stop chasing skunks. But hey we all have our weaknesses right?
