The varieties of form and behavior available in the canine genome never cease to amaze me. This little dog, at nine weeks, already knows what his life is all about!

Great Border Collie Pup. His instint is outstanding. Never ceases to amaze me how they know to cut, when to lay, when to gather together, when to have the stand off. Great Pup!!

What a brilliant wee lad! Oh, I love his look. So much style, courage and feel in so tiny a package. Wherever he is now, I hope he's in the best of hands and will be somebody's right hand dog. Wonderful!

What a great little fella! It's amazing that such skills are not taught, but instinctive.

I have had 4 border collies in my life, and only one had those herding instincts deeply, this little 9 week old guy is so adorable, to watch at such a young age, and you dorks who gave this video a thumbs down, you are missing out on the best dogs on the planet, there is not a bad thing I can say about them, they are smarter than a lot of people, oh I guess that's why you people gave thumbs down, that lil pup is smarter than you

The Canine Einstein. Brilliant. Best dog's I've ever had the pleasure of owning.

I like how the occasional sheep would square up and this small puppy stared them down.

A dog being a dog and sheep just being sheep. Natural instincts are amazing. ❣️❣️❣️

That pup was a hell of a lot older than 9 weeks.

He's gonna have to learn not to look so happy on the job.

that there is a border collie to the core

Oh My Word. This pup is actually training itself. amazing!

Wow. What a great pup. There's going to be some talent there!

This pup, like so many smart kids, could be great with kind, patient instruction❤

Very impressive! What a little trooper staring down that big sheep

Nine weeks old and the sheep already know who's boss. Incredible.

Border collies are the smartest dogs of all. Smarter than many people. We had one (and her son) when I was little. Also sheep, of course.

I had a border collie/Aussie shepherd mix. She was the sweetest tempered, and had to be indoors when I was in school and at work at one of my four part-time jobs, and she did fine. We (my family and I) trained her when she was young what things to do and not do in a house... So eager to please, and the only thing she did that I had a problem with was when she chewed up the leather sandals I was supposed to wear for a performance. She was pretty young then, and it was the only time she ever did anything like it. I suppose the leather smelled like her chewy toys...and there was no door on my closet. She was SO smart.

Instinctive reactions from the sheep AND the pup... beautiful.

I just love Border Collies, I have one, Mr. Riley is his name, is is 4 now, he was born on a ranch on the other side of our state and the rancher didn't think as a puppy he was a good promise for a working dog on the ranch, but that was ok with us, he is a pure treat to us every day, he is so smart and full of love and always knows hot to test you, but all in fun, I am so lucky to have him, and my heart is for him, he is my love....and he knows I am his momma, he loves me up every day....plus we have 2 labs so he plays with them all the time, they all love each other too. He is a fantastic addition to our household, we live in the countryside, so he gets plenty of fields to run through...
