    • Border Collie Attacks ...
    My border collie Elli has a lot of quirky habits such as going crazy whenever someone opens a can of soda or plays the piano. Here's a compilation of a few of her hyper and goofy reactions to everyday things around the house and outside. Enjoy!

    My BC is 13 now. Up until a year ago he looked and acted like a puppy. He's slowed down a lot now. An hour of exercise and he sleeps the whole day. And he's gone grey! In his few hours when hes not sleeping he is still the most intelligent, active dog!

    Some people are posting this dog is bored and not exercised enough. If you have never owned a border collie then you wouldn't understand. I have a border collie mix. The border collie genes take over my dog's DNA....He appears mostly border collie. Meanwhile you can walk these types of dogs or mixes, 20 times a day/45 minutes each and they are still like this even if you run them too. Border Collies have a high energetic drive and a high pray drive compared to other breeds. It's genetic. Nothing phases their energy. Even if you do not occupy their minds they will entertain them selves with funny behaviors. It does not mean the owners are doing something wrong. They are very intelligent animals. My dog is 9 years old now, but he still acts like he is 2 years old. His energy drive has toned down a lot, but still has his daily spurts. These kinds of dogs are always on the go. If you have owned or do own one, you will understand this and puppy stage is the worst phase to deal with...lol.

    • @gswovoka5432
      @gswovoka5432 9 років тому +4

      I could not agree more. I give my 10.5 yo border collie an hour if hard woods walking or snow shoeing every day, then my wife takes him out for a bike ride or ski the evening. He is still looking for more so he plays shadow in the kitckhen while we cook dinner. Sweetest dog I have ever known also. What a combo...

    • @kerrynewtss
      @kerrynewtss 7 років тому +2

      Mine is mentally always ready to go. She gets tired physically pretty easy since we have a fairly large yard that we allow her to run around as much as she would like, but even when you can tell she is physically drained, she still wants to keep playing. They dont know when to stop. My little girl could be sleeping, but as soon as I accidentally trip over one of her toys, she is up and thinks it is time to play at 12am. Couldnt ask for anything more though. She went through that rough puppy stage even though she is just turning 2. Within the past year she has gotten much better.

    • @neilwilson5785

    You have a beautiful border collie. Undoubtedly one of the best (if not the best) dogs to own.We used to have one (Floss) but she died ten years ago aged eleven. They fill your life with absolute joy and are always delighted to see you. They are hard work to keep entertained and need an incredible amount of exercise but they repay your toil in spades. You cannot help but develop a fantastic, rewarding and loving relationship with these fantastic black and white creatures. Enjoy. The both of you.

    A issue to think about when considering a border collie: They are SO FREAKIN' SMART that they can often seem to CRAVE CONSTANT mental stimulation...and when they don't get it, can seem to develop GENUINELY neurotic tendencies.

Her right ear would stick up and her left would stick out. Bo Peep was ears would stick straight up and Jack's straight ears would lie back a bit. He had a wide blaze and was a big boy. Sweet too.

    They all do strange things. I’ve had 4 Border Collies at different times. A friend called and asked for advise with Border Collies and I told her don’t do anything your don’t want to do everyday 2 days in a row. It becomes a habit for them and you’ll never be able to stop doing it.

  • @crismerton9295
    @crismerton9295 6 років тому

    Apologies if you already know this but such "quirks" are classic signs of an un-filfilled border collie. From this video she's given some mixed and confusing signals which don't allow her to ever feel she's completed a task successfully.

    Border Collies ran the moors and glens of Scotland. That's why they have double coats, which throw off the rain. Their leg feathers are our wellies. They are strong, loving, loyal and wonderfully intelligent.

      I guess you didn't name him after Dr. McCoy's nickname. I named my first girl, Gem after the Empath on "Star Trek" because she was empathic. She's come to me when I was sad, look sad and then try to cheer me up. Lived 13 yrs. Tried to give my Tess a Vulcan name, but she wouldn't respond. Preferred Tess Siobhan. Tried again with my next girl, a red/white. She said 'no' to T'Ami too. Said 'yes' to Gypsy Rose Lee. Next girl: T'Ami or Síla.

    Our BC Bessie (wife's good girl) died lil over a month ago at 17 yrs. Then her companion Drake (my good boy) also a BC died a week later, he had a massive tumor (that we didn't know about) had to put him too sleep exactly one week after Bessie's passing. We had Drake for 8 yrs, he was about 10 yrs total age. Just got an all black BC Austrian Shepard mix 2 yr female. I named her Betty. Yes after the Ram Jam song 'Black Betty' she took to her name right away! Should have called her shadow as she is truly my shadow. This one chose me, so as with all of my companions Betty goes everywhere with me. She looks good riding around in our vintage VW's...especially my bus Eleanor. So happy to have her and what a lover girl! Thanks for letting me vent gang as I am still hurting over the loss of our other BC's.

    Our BC is infatuated with water and the dishwasher. It jumps up and down like a fox hunting a mouse under snow when the dishwasher is opened and then turned on to run. Our BC loves the garden hose and loves to get sprayed with the hose and watch his water bowl get filled. He loves Frisbee and balls and his rope. BC are good dogs but they take your time and shed a lot.

He didn't like to play fetch but loved trying to keep other dogs from playing fetch lol. oh and he for some reason had a special thing for whistle pigs(marmots). Whenever he heard one he'd start growling and his lips would curl up. don't know why, i had him since he was a pup and he wasn't traumatized by one.

    My border collie reacts the same way over the word walk. She really does recognize the real word. I say, "Go for--?" (her ears perk) "Go for--?" So, then I tried, "Go for bok?" or "Go for nok?" Her ears go flat when it's not the right word. Then I say the magic words, "Go for walk?" and she goes beserk, spinning in circles, whining, and panting.

      Our JackBNimble would settle for herding lawn mower riders and playing Border Collie soccer. His mother Tess liked the latter too. She preferred herding the hens and roosters who visited from the farm behind us. She also liked to corrall the geese and ducks at a lake park. Felt it was her job to keep them inside the lake so they wouldn't "terrorise" the children. Adults thought she was funny, but Tess took her job seriously.

    My mother had a border collie and everytime someone sneezed at the house, he would run around the house. It was soo funny!

    What’s good about border collies compared to other dogs is you never have to cut their claws. They’re too busy.
    Oh wait, I spoke wrong; everything is good, but mine doesn’t like Suzuki Samari 4x4s, beagles, or our neighbour Misses Bucket.

    From what I have learned from my Border collie Posey they don't like wheels.

    Your collie is freaked out n stressed with a sudden noise her running around like that is fear

    I wonder if the dog can hear the air moving over the piano strings? You could dampen the whole set and see if the behavior continues.
    And going in circles is how you surround the herd/flock.

    my border collie loves basketballs too. he plays soccer outside with it until my boxer gets jealous and holds it down under her foot and won't let anyone play with it. then 5 minutes later it's deflated lol.
