Thanks!
 

 
Yes. Thank you. That was fascinating. It was also amazing that people
would go to so much effort and spend so much time to train such a
brilliant dog to be able to do such a bizarre act of no practical use.

  If you've ever owned a collie, you'll know it was
probably the collie's own idea.

They are a working breed; and if a collie isn't given a
proper job to occupy its brain and energy, they'll often
invent their own career/ hobbies /entertainment.
