A stray border collie came home with me one day while I was biking around the woods. She was easily the smartest dog I've ever owned and I've owned many. She knew when to be emotionally available, she understood body language and speech so well. A fantastic riding companion that knew how to pace herself for miles. Not a very good mother, though. Her entire brood was eaten by coyotes over a couple of weeks. I'm highly considering getting another border collie when the time comes for a new dog... if so I'll definitely be trying to push her like Chaser.
