Crazy how they do that

Were border collies like one of the few breeds from people that actually knew what they were doing? That is a beautiful healthy looking dog.

Besides their insane sense of smell, it’s impressive how they can recall a scent so precisely after sniffing all around that field.

Pet that dog right away ! P-L-E-A-S-E ! He’s been the best boy !

I was ready to cuss someone out if that dog didn’t get a reward.

my dog would have just rolled in one of those mud puddles and then complained about being wet for the next hour.

The little tail waggling around while he looks is so cute. Had a border collie growing up and they are so smart, can see it in their eyes. Beautiful doggie

The really crazy thing is : the only reason it took the dog so long to find the pen was that it was *thrown*, so there was no scent trail to follow between the spot where it was thrown and where it landed.

When you are positive you want the dog to be the smartest one in the room.

This is stupid.
How many people are murdered by pens?

Can I get one to find my remotes?

Pretty cool

I was thinking it might contaminate the find (bring it back in the mouth), but nope, just marked it and waited. superb.

It’s so impressive that it does not retrieve the pen, thus leaving the crime scene in tact.

That’s incredible. I had no idea Border Collies had a good nose compared to other species until now.
“… border collies—selected for herding—reached higher success levels than golden retrievers, Hungarian/German vizslas and basset/bloodhounds, breeds traditionally chosen for hunting or olfaction. Beagles found the hidden food quicker than border collies, basset/bloodhounds, golden retrievers, Labradors and cocker spaniels.”
I’ve got a Beagle and never figured a Collie would give her a run for her money.

What an amazing beautiful dog! Thanks for sharing!

Ok, dumb question: gloves have their own significant scent, and you just manhandled the pen with the gloves. While I get that the point was to find the ink scent, I do wonder if the glove scent isn’t the thing the dog is keying off of. It would be horrible to accidentally train the dog to be an excellent nitrile glove detector. Is that a real concern and if so, how do you prevent it?

Is this why their good at penning sheep ha
