Border Collie upvote!

My favourite thing about border collies is that they are bred for their brains, not their looks, which is why there is no breed standard.

Is that a cross between a Corgi and a Border Collie?

Horse AND Border Collie? There's an upvote!

Usually a large dog will kill the wallaby, and the owner probably wouldn't have wanted that either.

If it's only ever happened twice, then my Dad must know the two unluckiest former dog owners in the world, but I can't provide numbers. The dogs involved were border collie sized, so a bit smaller than the one in this vid, and their end was due to being disemboweled (same as with kangaroos).

p.s. Oops, didn't mean to put the reply here... oh well, too late now.

A cornered wallaby can kill a dog, and even though that dog is probably almost big enough to be safe, the vet bill would not be pleasant.>> ^Yogi:
I like her panicked reining in of her dog that was about to chase the wallaby down and sniff it to death.



Any cornered wallaby can kill any dog? Or has this happened like two times before?

Doing very well it looks like. Training puppies with treats is faster than with praise alone (taught a 10-week-old border collie bitch 3 tricks in one day with some left-over pork fried-rice!). Its ok to make puppy lie down by gently sliding his legs down from a sitting position while using a one-word command but make sure it completes the prostration before you give him the treat or praise or you'll confuse it.
At the end there it looked exactly like it should for a "roll-over" command. The puppy followed the treat in the hand and rolled completely over! That is a trick I'll bet shep here will learn fast!

Hooray for puppies learning tricks!

Yay, Border Collies, the only dogs who can do differential calculus!
