Those dogs are SO smart. If someone asked me what kind of dog would be able to figure how how to do something like this, my money would be on a border collie!

Afghan Hound: Light bulb? What light bulb?

Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we’ve got our whole lives ahead of us, and you’re worrying about a burned out light bulb?

Border Collie: Just one. And I’ll replace any wiring that’s not up to code.

Greyhound: It isn’t moving. Who cares?

That dog never stopped moving!

His parents said that each of them could be in a different room, and he was somehow in the room with each of them at the same time. Back and forth back and forth back and forth.

What a smart dog! I could watch him all day. I have to admit that I am partial to black and white animals - cats, dogs, zebras, pandas.

the smartest dogs. My chihuahua cannot figure out how to get the ball back into the iFetch - I have to drop it for him every time.

(some kind of terrier - Yorkshire or mix) who used to do this. She would stand at the top of the steps to the basement, would drop the ball so it bounced down the steps, then raced down to the bottom to catch it, and finally ran back up to the top to do it again (like the video).

She would do this over and over for who knows how long.

This is a perfect representation of what they’re like all day every day. Everything is a game and a competition. Our drug of choice is usually a frisbee.
