And it's not just border collies. With some of these herding breeds, it's like in their DNA.

My daughter were in a PetSmart that had a doggy daycare with a window where you could watch the dogs playing and interacting with each other. There was a sheltlie in there that was trying to herd the other dogs, and they were all like "I don't know wtf you're trying to to do, but we are NOT interested." I just about fell over laughing!
