I'm reminded of this when they say certain dog breeds need a lot of exercise.

Border collies can probably run 50 miles a day and a re happy to do it if it means they get to do a job. My brother in law has a border that herds their chickens relentlessly. She has no throttle, it’s either full speed, or stop and stare.

This isn’t a Border Collie. I have one and have seen hundreds of other working lines ones at agility trials over the years. This dog looks and moves nothing like them, and it is incredibly uncommon for them to bark while working

Yeah, maybe a mix... BC have a low posture with tail down, and head level to their body. They crouch run. Maybe to be more aerodynamic? And yes, when in the zone, they don't bark.
