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

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.
Australian TV has a series "Muster Dogs", which shows dogs being trained
to control sheep, all the way from puppyhood to competitive mustering. I
don't watch it myself, but apparently it gets a large audience.
