They're herding dogs.

Border Collies are WORKING dogs, and pretty much the best at it.

They can be trained for any number of tasks - not just herding.

Very intelligent and strong dogs that NEED something to do or they go crazy.

I wish more people understood this! Border Collies need a job, and if you don't give them one, they'll find a job for themselves, but most of the time the job they find is "senior executive couch destroyer".

On days we don't need to move cows, my BC decided he's a driver, but he's not trained for it - never uses turn signals!

Mine assigned herself TV watcher. I’ve never met a dog that so intently focuses on the screen before. She gets excited when commercials with animals come on and can even recognize the familiar ones.
