@@runbambirun mine tries to herd the cats. I must admit I did appreciate he did this when one of the cats escaped. he had him back home in less than 1 minute. He also likes to "chase" the neighbor's tractors. every time they drive by he runs parallel to them, wags his tail and barks to say hi (fenced in yard so he's safe), so they always wave back at him and us.
Thank you for this posting…. Brings back memories of by best dog ever, Wolfgang,a border collie who lived over 17 yrs, by my side always. Proud to have given him the best life possible- short of having a herding job. I’ve been to many demonstrations at country fairs, these dogs never cease to amaze
I have a border collie, Australian cattle dog mix. I had no idea what breeds she was, just knew a puppy needed a home. I had no clue what I was in for! So much energy, so intelligent, sweet and smart. She is a family pet, So not a working dog, but she has her tendencies. Doesn't like when someone leaves a room, or if two people hug. And she has scared every delivery driver so bad, they will no longer approach my door. They fascinate me now that I've gotten to learn more about them. Extraordinary. Thank you for this video.
A *lot*. There are mentions from classical Rome of ancient Britain being the best place to import herding, hunting, and fighting dogs from. One of the possible origins of the word 'Collie' is the ancient Brythonic word for 'useful'.
border collie only became a registered breed in the 1970's and you can still get traits of other sporting dog breeds in them. spotted muzzle/legs = pointer/spaniel. am not sure if registering the breed will do any good long term as it wiil perhaps restrict colour and shape at the expense of ability. we had a pedigree in the 1990's his uncle was welsh champion but already the selective breeding had a potential negative - he suffered from summer allergies - a farm dog.
I've seen Border Collies in action they are incredible. Ace going back after that last cow is a prime example of how smart they are. And they love doing what they do. Truly an amazing breed.
Cattle are much more dangerous than sheep so Ace has to be assertive and bold and he earned his keep that day. Well done Lynn you trained him well. Thank you for your great video
While cattle are certainly and for obvious reasons more dangerous then sheep. They herd similarly. Cows, while delicious, don't quite have the intelligence to realize their size is any sort of advantage. There are rare exceptions. We have had cows that break this general rule as well as goats who thought they must weigh 5000 pounds. Those get shipped to the sale barn real quick :)
@@tfactor7998 Yeah it was an interesting experience for my when I was at my grandma's house and a bunch of cattle were on the road home. I was spooked and just tried to slowly walk by, but they were super timid and just made way for me.
In past times in Scotland, cattle were walked from the North to huge markets called Trysts, in the Central Lowlands. These journeys took weeks and the drovers used Bearded Collies. These dogs would be sent off on their own to drive the cattle from isolated valleys and to gather them together for the journey. They were intelligent and very independent dogs. I have had four Bearded Collies over the years and a lot of those qualities remain. The pedigree dogs now have long hair but given the chance, they will happily swim in a loch or wander in the rain. When my children were young they were herded away from danger and watched over by our dogs.
Ace is magnificent. I see he was 8 when this was filmed and the video is 7 years old, so he may not be with us anymore. I hope he had a long happy life.
@@G3RIVER I'm sorry for your loss, he was a special dog. He seemed to have great instincts and didn't need much direction. What a great extra pair of hands (paws) to have on the farm. I'm happy he had a good life, and good innings. Did he pass on those skills to a younger dog?
I love how he went back for that straggler. I think even the owner wasn't 100% sure there was another one because he said "there must be another one...." as Ace went back. That last cow thought she could fool them and stay out to eat more, but you can't fool Ace!
You can tell Ace is THRILLED to be handed this important job! His eyes glisten & he looks so proud of himself at the end. Border collies are the greatest dogs on earth, lol!
My grandparents had a similar dog like yours when i was a boy in the 50's. I'd love watching my grandpa tell the dog to go get the cows . I remember that they had 14 milking cows . My grandmother was the person who hand milked them all .She would let me crank the handle on the pasturizer cream separator. I loved spending time on the farm every summer . [ Canada }
Working dogs are so smart and so tuned-in to their human. It’s really an amazing thing to see. We have field bred english cockers in our family, excellent bird dogs for quail down in South Georgia. My dad’s favorite over the years was a blue roan named Chief. He understood I swear every word my dad would say. Not just out in the pines, but sitting in the family room shooting the breeze. He’d follow along. When my dad would get frustrated or sleepy or hungry somehow Chief knew and would comfort him or go get his slippers or go grab a bag of chips from the pantry. Dad rarely left him behind when he did anything - Chief went to work with him, went to run errands, everything. And when they weren’t together he would sit next to dad’s chair and not let anyone sit there. Chief died of kidney failure very unexpectedly at age 12 and my dad was inconsolable. Only time I ever saw him cry. Not when his dad died, or his mom. When he lost chief he wept at the dinner table.
Sneaky cheese thief, we had only one purebred dog, an albino beagle. My dad drove almost 200 miles round trip to get that dog. Turned out to be a dud. He was gun shy and petrified of thunder as well. My dad was so disgusted. Before we had the Beagle we had a mixed breed hunting dog, part pointer & part setter, and he went hunting everywhere with my brothers. Ran alongside their bikes for miles & miles. He was a character. My dad cried like a baby when he died. Actually we all did. He was one in a million.
Beautiful story. Sounds like Chief was one in a million. I don’t know if there is an afterlife - I’d like to believe there is - if only to meet our beloved pets again. It just breaks our hearts when they pass away, doesn’t it!? 💔
One of the most amazing things I’ve seen on UA-cam. I knew border collies are instinctive herders and very intelligent, but had never seen one in action like this.
How handsome! We have a border collie and he's a good dog. Not trained to herd. He would love it! He's our companion. And patiently helps me put my chickens up. He's always easing along giving them time to go where they should instead of scattering so I guess that's herding in a way.
Definitely herding! Fowl are some of the hardest critters for dogs to herd because they require a very finessed touch and will scatter easily with too much pressure. Your border collie is talented!
What a good boy. Anyone that owns livestock should have a border collie. I have watched these dogs in the Soldier Hallow Classic several times and I am always amazed at how smart they are👍
It's lovely to see a working bred dog, doing the thing that he was actually bred for generations to do. These dogs belong on a farm, not as a pet in someone's apartment or house. They are so intelligent and need a huge amount of daily exercise and mental stimulation, and when they don't get it, the dog acts out. When this happens, it is entirely the fault of the people who didn't research the breed and learn what owning a border collie entails. Great video mate, well done.
Just wondering..is that cat in your picture allowed to go out as he pleases? While you are busy berating Border Collie lovers who don't have farms but do have a dog?
Nothing finer than watching a herding dog do it's job💕 Amazing training 👌 Such a GREAT dog💖 They are born for THIS work👍 and seeing it in action is a pure pleasure🙏
What a lovely dog, I myself have a border collie cross, I've not long started cattle farming , I'd love for my rex to be like ace.. He's a credit to you.. amazing dog..
Border collies were the first breed of dog I got to know as a child on our friends farm and have loved them ever since. I enjoyed watching Ace and he certainly is a beautiful dog. Border collies are such a great breed. Cheers from Canada.
There's nothing like a good Border Collie. I was lucky enough to attend the Scottish nationals 5 years in a row. Great dogs, great people, great country, great memories.
1. I lol’ed when he said hurry up and Ace did 2. I’ve never seen cows move that fast 3. It’s so good to see an animal doing what it was made for not just cooped up somewhere!
Collies will herd just about anything . On my Dad's farm we had one that like to herd the chickens and the duck. Watching a Working Dog work is always a pleasure TY 4 sharing your dog with us.
What an amazing dog this is so cool! I have never seen a border collie in action! Stellar! I heard he passed I am so sorry, at least you have this to look back on too! God Bless you ! Ty for sharing!
Really appreciated that when Ace disobeyed the command "walk up" that you recognized that he knew better and just laughed. Real working partners. Thanks for sharing.
The last time I heard a whistle like that my Mom was calling us kids home for supper. Could hear it from one end of the block to the other. Thanks for the memories and letting me watch that amazing dog.
What a fabulous dog. Whenever I see a Border Collie as a house pet, I just think how sad and bored and frustrated they must be. My uncle worked sheep and his dogs were brilliant. They were born to work and they were superb at it.
Nice to see a well trained dog, exactly knowing what he should do. And doing it with a kind of joy and getting a „good boy“ back for a good job. These dogs need a job for their joy of life 👌
I love watching working dogs of any kind, the minds of dogs is wonderful. Mine loved riding in the car and knew when we were getting close to home on the five different routes I used. As a kid on trips down to South Wales to see mums' family, I would be taken out into the countryside to visit farms and farm shows. One dairy farmer had to herd his milkers along a stretch of highway, he wanted to do this as quickly as possible. To aid him he had a pair of Welsh corgis the type of dog the late Queen had. The dogs would pull on the cows' tail and be out of the way before the kick came. It was great to watch how a 1ft high dog could control a one & half ton cow.
Reminds me of growing up and our border collie did the same. He knew the time, the location, and my Dad's signal. What a sight. He had a great smile bringing those cattle in. Thank you for sharing your video
Love to see working dogs (farm, police, army) work. My dog is IGP trained he loves nothing more than finding the helper (crook) and arresting one from a distance. It is all a game to him. And he always looks so proud at me "look what I just did!!". Getting his ball at the end is just a bonus..
Good job, you have a smart dog there. We used to have a tv show over here in the UK called one man and his dog, except sometimes he used two. They would run out and fetch back a herd of sheep and pen them. Lost points if the sheep went too fast etc. Great to watch….
What a good boy! Perfect name for him. Please love him and home him even after he can no longer work. Some heartless people don't let them retire when it is time for them to stop working. And they no longer feel they are needed. I'm sure you will love him and take good care of him long into his days.thank you for a great video.
What an amazing video of an amazing dog. Really enjoyed watching it and his owner has done a great job with his training. Sorry to hear that Ace has passed. He's probably herding cows in doggy heaven.
This is my favorite dog. I don't have the right stimulating environment for this type of dog, but I appreciate them and admire their intellect so highly. Such a cool creature!
Had one as a kid, '60-'70. Great dog, beautiful coat, coloring. My mom kept her when I got married, joined the Corps. It's not a joke when I say "should'a kept the dog, forgot the chick."
We have three rescue dogs: Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Russell Terrier and Mini Pinscher. Our corgi, a male, always likes to herd the two girls to keep them together when we take walks. It’s hilarious, but actually helpful to us! Dogs are wonderful, aren’t they?
They are fabulous dogs. I love the countryside here in England and when out walking I often see dogs at work with sheep. That's the time to get out my thermos and sandwiches and just sit and watch. Better view, lunch and entertainment than you will find anywhere. The best restaurant in the world just couldn't compete.
The dog looked so satisfied with himself at the end..he knows he is a good dog.
Oh, he knows he's the best.
“ I want to herd more cows” I don’t want to get in the truck..😆
That must be what it feels like to be created specifically for a purpose and to be really good at that purpose.
I need to send this video to my neighbor.
They have two Australian shepherds that are always kept in the house 😢
He knows he's the BEST dog... because that's what BCs are.
These dogs live for this, they love their jobs, magnificent. RIP Ace..
Like the way he "looked back " on command .. the trainer sure did a great job with Ace !
That was a voiceover. Actually the dog did everything himself without commands and then the owner pretends to control him.
@@AllahDoesNotExist 🤣
Yes, that dog must have thought, when it was asked to look back, “ There ain’t nothin’ there ya old fool! Just let me handle this, ok!?”
@@AllahDoesNotExist How do you know that? Were you there?
@@paddlefar9175 The man was just trying to keep the dog vigilant by telling him to look back. It doesn't matter whether or not something was there.
I like how Ace went back and brought in that last straggler.
He’s the bouncer
Hes probably dealt with him before :)
Showed his dedication to doing his job.
No cow left behind!
honestly that was what made him a G
There is no animal more contented than a Border Collie with some things that need herding! What a Star he is.
we had a Border Collie who used to get his ass kicked regularly. He just wouldn't stop trying to round up the neighbourhood dogs. They didn't like it.
...except maybe a Kelpie. I love watching these dogs do what they love to do...just amazing.

Australian Shepard are awesome just like Border Collie
A well-trained dog is a joy to watch. I love watching well-trained working dogs.
Never seen the "Hurry up" command? Well done and well taught. What an incredible dog.
LOL.. I don’t think that was a “command” 😂
@@pattyayers That's what many people don't understand, as we are taught to treat all animals like they are primitive
That is what I was going to write.
I’ve seen it before, I get that often at work too
@@pattyayerssure seems like Ace knew exactly what it meant for ‘not a command’, it is absolutely and Ace does his job incredibly well.

Ace won the "puppy lottery!" What a great place for a dog to live. That's not "work" for him, it's "fun!"
Freedom to roam around outside.. I agree.. 🤝

@@anananandsdsdsds3486 Thanks for that, it makes for very pleasant thoughts...
The Border Collie is of Scottish origin so may have taken its name from the local black faced sheep called Cooly.
border collie only became a registered breed in the 1970's and you can still get traits of other sporting dog breeds in them. spotted muzzle/legs = pointer/spaniel. am not sure if registering the breed will do any good long term as it wiil perhaps restrict colour and shape at the expense of ability. we had a pedigree in the 1990's his uncle was welsh champion but already the selective breeding had a potential negative - he suffered from summer allergies - a farm dog.

Hate that I'm late to the party, but this was one hell of a demonstration of what a well trained dog is capable of on the farm. Outstanding video!

It's good to see a professional craftsman doing his job and enjoying how well he does it.
What a beautiful place to live ! 😍 Is that heaven 😍
It’s just incredible to watch these dogs work. One dog directing a pack of massive animals with ease, what a sight.
Just beautiful. Thank you

I think the owner already knew. That was a total of 10 cows with the straggler.
Awesome dog with his awesome owner
Well done !
That was amazing. I love all dogs, but that was is 1st rate. God bless.
I am not surprised that border collies are the most intelligent dogs. Impressive!!!❤
What a charge to see those cows come over the hill. Excellent doggo. Ace is indeed an ace!

"I'd hate to go back to life without one of these dogs". Truer words...

Absolutely stunning, the bond between a rancher/farmer and his dog. Just amazing.
My dog would have taken one look at the horizon, and then headed for it! 😂😂
Had one as a kid, '60-'70. Great dog, beautiful coat, coloring. My mom kept her when I got married, joined the Corps.
It's not a joke when I say "should'a kept the dog, forgot the chick."
Ace, what a star. He earned cuddles and a treat, I hope he got them once at home.
So beautiful to watch a sheepdog work. They have been doing this for hundreds of years and still haven't found anything better.
Smart dog! Great training here.
Great trainer. Great student! Amazing interspecial cooperation
We have three rescue dogs: Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Russell Terrier and Mini Pinscher. Our corgi, a male, always likes to herd the two girls to keep them together when we take walks. It’s hilarious, but actually helpful to us! Dogs are wonderful, aren’t they?
They are fabulous dogs. I love the countryside here in England and when out walking I often see dogs at work with sheep. That's the time to get out my thermos and sandwiches and just sit and watch. Better view, lunch and entertainment than you will find anywhere. The best restaurant in the world just couldn't compete.
What a good and beautiful dog! Well trained! I hope he lived a great life!
