Sadly Becky who played the part of Roy passed away in May 2014, she was the best dog I have ever had and still miss her. But her daughter Boots can be seen in far from the madding crowd playing the part of young George..
Delighted to see this. When I was a child growing up on a dairy farm, we had a border collie and the natural herding tendency of this breed was quite evident when I took the dog with me to the pasture field to bring the dairy cows into the barn for milking. The dog was very helpful in getting the whole herd headed in the right direction; an occasional straying by a cow was instinctively corrected by our dog.
As a mother of a Border Collie, I love this, Hubby now wants to teach him to round him up when he gets old and forgets, haha. Our Collie also herds the kids in the neighborhood, haha. Thank you so very much
My fiancé got rounded up at a house party in Colorado decades ago. There were tons of people and they all were packed together in the kitchen! The best had a sheep dog and was putting all the people in one room
Absolutely brilliant - loved it and the sense of humor. Would liked to have seen this one filmed and enjoyed. Great work. Great work. Kev. Will be having a drink with you on Saturday to be sure.....
Love this video! Beautiful Border Collie & just so funny seeing him round up the humans & get them into the pub for a delicious, cold Guinness! Excellent beer on St. Patrick's Day & any day!
A brilliant, Pythonesque video. It's interesting that the dogs have such a strong herding instinct that they herd humans, and, I would postulate, perhaps anything else that moves in groups! I have seen a border collie herd a pair of toddlers.
My brother-in-law's Old English Sheepdog used to herd me every time I took it for a walk . Unfortunately, it would drag me into a run, then cut me off so I would trip and fall. Apparently, he had a sense of humour
Border Collies are so smart that if they had opposable thumbs they’d take over the world. If you have two people and one Border Collie, the people are outnumbered. 😊
They are mimicking how sheep behave when being herded by the dogs. :-) Only, the sheep are herded into an enclosure, not a pub. That's why this is so funny.
That was hot, so many commercials i seen lately are a little too generic for me and they dont stick, forget as soon as they're over. This one was very entertaining and funny. Thank You guys!!
if you upload to someones facebook wall you don't see the title.. great video, couldn't believe it when I seen the lads running through the field, didn't know what to expect..

Aww, so sad to hear this. I'm so sorry.
THIS IS BRILLIANT
NO STUPID MUSIC
NO DISTRACTIONS
What more do you want
I've watched this several times-it's priceless!
"He's a legend in Gloucestershire. But we're in Yorkshire today so that counts for nothing." I lol'd
“It’s a capacity crowd....of sixteen.”
Hahahaha

My dad is the farmer, sadly now no longer with us x
I post this on FB every St Patrick’s Day. Never gets old and I laugh my head off each time I watch it. Excellent ad!!
Brilliantly funny! Thanks for the giggle, and the refreshment.
I really enjoyed to see the skill and training exhibited by the shepherd, and the dog. Funny too!
you could hear a pin drop if we weren’t in a field!

Reminds me of the Monty Python sketch, "Upper Class Twit of the Year". Great work, Guinness!
I come back to this clip every so often... best commercial ever imho. Never gets old.

Like I have always said, my dogs are smarter than a lot of people I know! Great video Thanks!!
What a great dog ... and great fun ... love the accent ... and the Irish peoples.
Minahh T'aint an Irish accent lad.
Could it be an accent from Yorkshire???
Minahh Lancashire that ;)
Than you for that information. I had a roommate who was from Yorkshire. Lovely and smart young woman she is.
Who ever came up with the idea for this is a genius.
I've said this same very same thing at least 25 times!
Absolutely brilliant - loved it and the sense of humor. Would liked to have seen this one filmed and enjoyed. Great work. Great work. Kev. Will be having a drink with you on Saturday to be sure.....
Brilliant! A beautiful Border Collie and a Guinness ........... what can be better?
I never tire of watching this.
Love this video! Beautiful Border Collie & just so funny seeing him round up the humans & get them into the pub for a delicious, cold Guinness! Excellent beer on St. Patrick's Day & any day!
I believe our Trainer Hubert Bailey of Bailey's Borders will enjoy this immensely. I certainly do.
I love this crazy video. Watched it several times over the years.

new favorite commercial.
……. "They're bang on course for where they want to go." … Hilarious … Magnificent … Sharing … Thanks for the heads-up, Maggie
Who is your daddy, that's what the doggy's saying.
That sounds so much like Rob Bryden, it must be him.
BRILLIANT. Man's Best friend.
One of the best adverts ever.
This is one of the best commercials I have EVER seen. :D
This is brilliant.
Guinness has always had the best adverts of any beer on earth. Cheers mates
This is brilliant!😂
This is one of the best commercials ive seen in a long time. Awesome, great job guys.
That's why dogs are man's best friend. They will help us in spite of ourselves.
My herding dog and I loved the video. Guinness is my favorite and a class act as well.
I Can Dig It !!! They Really Should Have Been Wearing Their Wellys !!!
such a relaxing day at work on this set. Had a lovely day...quiet funny too,
Did they give you free Guinness at the end of a session?
:-)
Proving people for the most part are the sheep and dogs for the most part are smarter. I really enjoyed watching this video!!
Border Collies are so smart that if they had opposable thumbs they’d take over the world. If you have two people and one Border Collie, the people are outnumbered. 😊
Thumps up.
Brilliant ad can't stop laughing :-)))
Love it.
And genius dog
I wonder why it's men best friend.
Man, I love British advertising.
Irish :)
OMG, this is absolutely classic, I love it!
Absolutely love it!!!!
Hysterical. I very rarely LOL, but this did it. I always attend the Meeker Classic, so this roped me in right away...
LOL, I love how the people are running so weird.
They are mimicking how sheep behave when being herded by the dogs. :-) Only, the sheep are herded into an enclosure, not a pub. That's why this is so funny.
Yes, but people don't look like sheep, and the way the humans are running is very different from how humans run. So it looked funny.
Peggy Hogan It wouldn't be as funny if they behaved as humans.
That was brilliant!!!
This is the funniest video I've ever seen!! Thanks to GuinnessGB for post this.
This never gets old for me. 😂
haha that is too cute made me chuckle all the way through, sure to pass it on to friends.
"You could hear a pin drop if they weren't in a field." I don't know why but that just cracked me up :P
Used to love this show.
That is just tooo funny,,,and a Happy St.Patrick's day to you all!!!
That was hot, so many commercials i seen lately are a little too generic for me and they dont stick, forget as soon as they're over. This one was very entertaining and funny. Thank You guys!!
Classic! Love it & being a BC human mom found this super funny!
Why would anyone dislike this? I guess no sense of humour. Very well done ad!
Belter...I'm Irish and I love it.
Delightfully clever.
"That'll do, dog, that'll do."
This was such an original and funny commercial.
