      And if you leave them to figure out their own work as a couple of mine have, they teach themselves to operate the ice maker on the front of the fridge when they want ice cubes, open the other dogs crate door latches when they think it’s time to let them out (He let the dogs out! :) ), open the lever door knobs unless you remember to lock them, etc. (mine’s not yet learned how to operate the outside door bolt locks). Their intelligence is amazing and entertaining, but yes, you have to give them meaningful outlets for their great intelligence. They are absolutely amazing and wonderful family members if you can give them what they also need and deserve.

They do tend to be a little reserved and skittish but very intelligent. I love them so very much. However over the years my arthritis has made it hard to have them. I cant keep up with them anymore. Hope this fellow finds a home with people who understand the breed and have the energy to keep up with them.

    I had a border collie once. I lived on a large ranch. He was the smartest dog. He was so sweet. His name was Max but I also called him Bullet cuz he was so speedy when he ran. He could go from zero to sixty in two seconds as it were. But his brakes didn’t work so well, so sometimes he’d run into you. lol We had chickens and he loved to herd them. That was his natural instinct. Dogs like him need space to run like a crazy lunatic. He loved to chase his ball. And he loved to walk with me on the 5 acre ranch unleashed so he could run with he way border collies need to. He seems like a really good dog. Where I live, in a tiny trailer in a park, would be terrible for a border collie. So I have a cat now who is a rescue and has zero interest in going outside. Perfect for where I live. On the ranch we had a cat too. But the cat was more interested in chasing rats and rabbits but he enjoyed a scratch or two. But Max was my buddy. He was so smart. I trained him not only with words but with hand signals. He loved learning new things and performing in what he learned. Border collies are so pretty too. I hope he finds the right home soon. Zeus certainly deserves it.

    Hello, you sweet little guy! You're in the best place possible, with the best person possible to get you into the home of your dreams... Rocky will make sure of it. Keep that spirit up because it won't be long before the perfect parent(s) come along. 🤗😘

    The best dog we've had was a lab border collie. Troi was a trip. She would smile if she messed with the garbage . We'd say 'What Troi, show me?" And she would. Troi was an empath & would know who needed her. In 6 months, my son & I will be looking for a dog, as we will be settled in our new home. Rescued dogs are the only way to go.

    Loved this video, this dog, his new name, how you applied what you have learned Rocky, Alexis and her always supportive presence, Mel and her divinity and magic and all the heartfelt generous outpourings thru the mail. Zeus, this ginormous dog hug and LOVE is all for you buddy. I am seeing and feeling your new healing, loving and fulfilling home in your life NOW in this expanding moment!❤️❤️❤️💫🤩

    Rocky, you underestimate yourself. "Don't give them to me 'cause I'm not worth it." Oh yes you are my friend! If it weren't for you starting this, we would never get to see these dog's go into a forever home or a rescue facility. As much as I would love to have each and every dog you show, I have my hands and heart full with taking care of my own Little Rescues that live and love me. ❤

    We have been involved in BC rescue for 15 years. We try to work with shelters and get them directed straight into a foster-based rescue. They are hard wired to control chaos. They shut down very quickly in a shelter environment where they cannot control the craziness.
    Thank you for all you do!

    He is sad! Border collies bond to their humans so strongly, but he is young. I think his sadness is a reflection of the depth of his connection to the human who had him.

    Border collies are amazing. They need to be active and have purpose. People buy these wonderful dogs because they are so pretty. Yet have no idea about the dog’s energy and needs. Collies without purpose get depressed!

      I think them being rated as the top 1 or 2 most intelligent dog breeds attracts people who think they want a smart dog without realizing that now, besides just exercising, the dog ALSO requires mental stimulation and people find themselves overwhelmed with a dog that's "misbehaving".

    • @yellowblanka6058
      @yellowblanka6058 17 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      That's probably (along with not having dogs spayed and neutered) a major reason why there are so many dogs in shelters - irresponsible people buy a dog because they want a toy/security blanket/their children are whining for the dog not thinking about the needs of the breed of dog, the general responsibility of owning a pet. Dogs are sentient beings with their own mental and emotional needs just like us.

    Border Collies are amazing dogs. Both as working/herding dogs, and as agility dogs. Some of the top agility dogs are BC. I had a BC/Spaniel mix and a BC/Spitz? mix. One from a shelter, and the other found dumped on the street. They were wonderful. I hope Zeus finds a great home where he can feel safe and loved.

      Yes, we took on another one just like him, also’Lady’. She was just that…not a dog but a lady. She didn’t do the mutual dog sniffing each other, just tolerated it. She would go into herding ‘wolf mode’ really fast when strangers came around. Smart, sweet, and lived to 17.

    Our lovely border collie mix girl went over the rainbow bridge as they say about a month and a half ago. She basically just looked like an all black border collie with golden eyes. This sweet boy reminds me a lot of her, of course, including the blinking you mentioned may be a breed trait. She was definitely a nervous dog, so I agree with Mel on that one. I'm in Colorado but I wish there was a way to get put on a list as a last resort adopter. I'd definitely make my way out there for him if he needed me if no one else came through. Although I am trying to wait to let my last dog's passing settle in before getting another dog (and to be perfectly honest to give her a chance if she's willing to reincarnate back to me, haha) and I trust when it's the right time and the right dog it will happen on its own. He's so beautiful I'm sure he will have no problem getting adopted to a loving home.

    Border collies are our dog, we are in #4, Demon is 2 (named by my son who loves Chrysler products and the dodge demon, also demon from snow dogs) we lost our last border collie 3 years ago, Bruce, he was 14 and suffered a stroke one day. He was wobbly, his eyes going back and forth too. I took him out to pee before we went to the vet and he still peed, he was such a great dog. Vet said there was no getting better so my son brought along a big bag of pepperettes and fed Bruce every last one as we were waiting our turn in the parking lot in the back of the van (covid times sucked) so many out in the parking lot watching, hardest thing I’ve ever went through, and just a week after my 50th Birthday and Mother’s Day. Thanks for listening BUT MOSTLY THANK YOU for all you guys do for each and every dog. Once I get my feet back on the ground, you’ll be the first channel in join! hugs and love to ALL shelter dogs always xoxo
