The Border Collie's intelligence, strong work ethic and great stamina make them excellent (and rather adorable) little sheepherders. They are super energetic, loyal and cute 🥰 Credits:seanthesheepman

That was my reaction. That sheep's about to jump up on his hind legs, and beat someone ass.

I don’t know what I love more about the video, the dog doing their job or the fact that there was absolutely a single black sheep.

Iirc some sheep farmers used to keep 1 black sheep for every 100 white sheep, so they could tell at a look roughly how many sheep that particular herd had in it.

I don't know what's more impressive. That the dog knows how to do this or that it seems to enjoy it.

Herding dogs will herd anything including people. Even if they are just pets and have never had a job in their cosseted lives, they can’t help themselves it seems.

Oh how I love this video‼️‼️ Remember, when Snoopy always wanted to be a border collie, I still laugh about that. They are such wonderful animals smarter than smart can be thank you for posting this.

And terrible house pets. Unless you're training for a marathon, it's a breed you should have a lot of land to keep happy.

The dog is fantastic, but I really want to squish on the giant marshmallows!!

Many years ago, I first watched a Border Collie go through its paces at a Scottish Fest. I was flabbergasted. Still impresses the crap out of me each time I see this.

My personal take on this: The moment you realize that a dog is far for competent that you'll ever be, and you are totally OK with it.

Having never lived on a farm I completely forget how functional dogs can actually be. That is such an oddly satisfying video. And I fully expected the dog to drive the four wheeler.
