We recently adopted a Sheepadoodle, and this comment really resonated with me. It's a combination of a poodle and an old english sheep dog, which many think are originally from border collies. She's a wonderful animal, but really, really needs mental stimulation! She's got us trained to be sure. :-)

Ours will just go for hours rolling a ball back and forth to you, totally fascinated by the way the ball moves across the floor, and how she's getting you to do something for her. For a human, it's just tedium. You can see how useful they'd be for moving sheep around for hours while responding to commands. They just like it. And don't care about weather, or distractions, or anything. Last week I had mine out in the bush here and she was carrying her frisbee with her. A rabbit bolted out not 5 feet in front of her and she completely ignored it, because she was currently stopped in her tracks, busy, giving the frisbee "the eye"
