Sadly Becky who played the part of Roy passed away in May 2014, she was the best dog I have ever had and still miss her. But her daughter Boots can be seen in far from the madding crowd playing the part of young George..
Delighted to see this. When I was a child growing up on a dairy farm, we had a border collie and the natural herding tendency of this breed was quite evident when I took the dog with me to the pasture field to bring the dairy cows into the barn for milking. The dog was very helpful in getting the whole herd headed in the right direction; an occasional straying by a cow was instinctively corrected by our dog.
As a mother of a Border Collie, I love this, Hubby now wants to teach him to round him up when he gets old and forgets, haha. Our Collie also herds the kids in the neighborhood, haha. Thank you so very much
Absolutely brilliant - loved it and the sense of humor. Would liked to have seen this one filmed and enjoyed. Great work. Great work. Kev. Will be having a drink with you on Saturday to be sure.....
My fiancé got rounded up at a house party in Colorado decades ago. There were tons of people and they all were packed together in the kitchen! The best had a sheep dog and was putting all the people in one room
Love this video! Beautiful Border Collie & just so funny seeing him round up the humans & get them into the pub for a delicious, cold Guinness! Excellent beer on St. Patrick's Day & any day!
A brilliant, Pythonesque video. It's interesting that the dogs have such a strong herding instinct that they herd humans, and, I would postulate, perhaps anything else that moves in groups! I have seen a border collie herd a pair of toddlers.
My brother-in-law's Old English Sheepdog used to herd me every time I took it for a walk . Unfortunately, it would drag me into a run, then cut me off so I would trip and fall. Apparently, he had a sense of humour
Border Collies are so smart that if they had opposable thumbs they’d take over the world. If you have two people and one Border Collie, the people are outnumbered. 😊
They are mimicking how sheep behave when being herded by the dogs. :-) Only, the sheep are herded into an enclosure, not a pub. That's why this is so funny.
That was hot, so many commercials i seen lately are a little too generic for me and they dont stick, forget as soon as they're over. This one was very entertaining and funny. Thank You guys!!
If you train herding dogs or do sheepdog trials, you will find this "roll on the floor hilarious"... I guess 12 people had no idea what they were watching. GREAT JOB!!

Aww, so sad to hear this. I'm so sorry.

I've watched this several times-it's priceless!
"He's a legend in Gloucestershire. But we're in Yorkshire today so that counts for nothing." I lol'd
“It’s a capacity crowd....of sixteen.”
Hahahaha
I post this on FB every St Patrick’s Day. Never gets old and I laugh my head off each time I watch it. Excellent ad!!
THIS IS BRILLIANT
NO STUPID MUSIC
NO DISTRACTIONS
What more do you want
Brilliantly funny! Thanks for the giggle, and the refreshment.
Reminds me of the Monty Python sketch, "Upper Class Twit of the Year". Great work, Guinness!
I really enjoyed to see the skill and training exhibited by the shepherd, and the dog. Funny too!
I come back to this clip every so often... best commercial ever imho. Never gets old.

you could hear a pin drop if we weren’t in a field!
Like I have always said, my dogs are smarter than a lot of people I know! Great video Thanks!!
What a great dog ... and great fun ... love the accent ... and the Irish peoples.
Minahh T'aint an Irish accent lad.
Could it be an accent from Yorkshire???
Minahh Lancashire that ;)
Than you for that information. I had a roommate who was from Yorkshire. Lovely and smart young woman she is.
My dad is the farmer, sadly now no longer with us x

I never tire of watching this.
Who ever came up with the idea for this is a genius.
I've said this same very same thing at least 25 times!
This is one of the best commercials I have EVER seen. :D
Brilliant! A beautiful Border Collie and a Guinness ........... what can be better?
Love this video! Beautiful Border Collie & just so funny seeing him round up the humans & get them into the pub for a delicious, cold Guinness! Excellent beer on St. Patrick's Day & any day!
I love this crazy video. Watched it several times over the years.
"You could hear a pin drop if they weren't in a field." I don't know why but that just cracked me up :P
This is one of the best commercials ive seen in a long time. Awesome, great job guys.
……. "They're bang on course for where they want to go." … Hilarious … Magnificent … Sharing … Thanks for the heads-up, Maggie
I believe our Trainer Hubert Bailey of Bailey's Borders will enjoy this immensely. I certainly do.

Guinness has always had the best adverts of any beer on earth. Cheers mates
such a relaxing day at work on this set. Had a lovely day...quiet funny too,
Did they give you free Guinness at the end of a session?
:-)
My herding dog and I loved the video. Guinness is my favorite and a class act as well.
BRILLIANT. Man's Best friend.
"That'll do, dog, that'll do."
This is brilliant!😂
OMG, this is absolutely classic, I love it!
Thumps up.
Brilliant ad can't stop laughing :-)))
Love it.
And genius dog
I wonder why it's men best friend.
politics aside , as a dog lover I think this is so funny and a big thumbs up to the dog and handler
This is the funniest video I've ever seen!! Thanks to GuinnessGB for post this.
Proving people for the most part are the sheep and dogs for the most part are smarter. I really enjoyed watching this video!!
Border Collies are so smart that if they had opposable thumbs they’d take over the world. If you have two people and one Border Collie, the people are outnumbered. 😊
One of the best adverts ever.
That is just tooo funny,,,and a Happy St.Patrick's day to you all!!!
This is brilliant.
haha that is too cute made me chuckle all the way through, sure to pass it on to friends.
Hysterical. I very rarely LOL, but this did it. I always attend the Meeker Classic, so this roped me in right away...
LOL, I love how the people are running so weird.
They are mimicking how sheep behave when being herded by the dogs. :-) Only, the sheep are herded into an enclosure, not a pub. That's why this is so funny.
Yes, but people don't look like sheep, and the way the humans are running is very different from how humans run. So it looked funny.
Peggy Hogan It wouldn't be as funny if they behaved as humans.
That was hot, so many commercials i seen lately are a little too generic for me and they dont stick, forget as soon as they're over. This one was very entertaining and funny. Thank You guys!!
Man, I love British advertising.
Irish :)
This never gets old for me. 😂
This was such an original and funny commercial.
Why would anyone dislike this? I guess no sense of humour. Very well done ad!
Absolutely love it!!!!
That was brilliant!!!
new favorite commercial.
Used to love this show.
That's why dogs are man's best friend. They will help us in spite of ourselves.
Oh Brilliant. The Border Collie is amazing!
Brilliant All Around!!!...Kudos To Guinness!!!
Who is your daddy, that's what the doggy's saying.
That sounds so much like Rob Bryden, it must be him.
This is outstanding, great commercial ! There's nothing like a working Border Collie !
How fabulous!! Great ad!!!
Classic! Love it & being a BC human mom found this super funny!
That's what I need to get me home after 🤣😂🤣😂👍
One of my fav vids ever...so Monty Pythonesque...lol
Guinness. Bringing you the best adverts since 1886.
OMG ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!
If you train herding dogs or do sheepdog trials, you will find this "roll on the floor hilarious"... I guess 12 people had no idea what they were watching. GREAT JOB!!
Belter...I'm Irish and I love it.
Awesome to small a Word,,
Cheers from Vancouver
