oof

@John McAlister generally, Humans intelligence are very different than dog intelligence, you can’t apply the same shit to humans

People really can't wrap their brains around an ethical mix breeder. Like they OFA health test and everything and someone will still call them a byb but when it comes to purebred people always think "Nah they're perfect and the breeder is excellent." just because they breed purebred, even with zero genetic testings.

@John McAlister why? Dogs are not like humans you can’t tell humans not to breed it’s an infringement on their rights. Dogs are our responsibility, they are not free beings.

@John McAlister Slavery is over. We don't breed people anymore.

Is that good? I wondered if I wanted my squishy little dog to talk and then I thought NO, the complaints and whining would be epic.

Hahaha!!! I have a husky border collie and your right. He stares so intently trying to understand me and trying to get me to understand his crazy wookie words.

They can , you just didn't pay attention!

If my lab mix could talk, i know exactly what she would say..."are you going to eat that?"

@@karenblinder8730 Labs and their appetite… I had a diabetic Labrador who would beg for food he never tasted before. We found out about his condition when he was a little over a year old. He knew we wouldn’t let him eat it, but he still begged for it. He lived a good, long life despite his condition. 9 1/2 years.

That kind of endurance, intelligence and working drive? That dog'll herd _your_ sheep, your neighbor's sheep, and every flock in the county! LOL, take that dog to Ireland and watch him lose his fluffing mind with joy! XD XD

@@alexisgrunden1556 and herd the birds, rabbits, squirrels, insects, airplanes, … 😁

@@Ryarios airplane! Squirrel! Airplane! RABBIT! Sheep! Sheep! Sheee- wait, SQUIRREL!

@@alexisgrunden1556 They also herd people. I'm a small adult who has been herded several times by these sorts of working breeds since I was a kid. They don't like it when you try to leave the living room. Bathroom breaks are not allowed and you may not enter the kitchen if the rest of the herd (guests) are not already there.

@@mmedefarge LOL, but they're great if you're trying to wrangle a whole bunch of kids, though! Herding kids is worse than herding cats, but they can do the job! ;) XD

Love my dog

Ohhhhhhhhh no... The height and appetite of a Great Dane, with the problem solving ability and sheer awareness of a Collie? Did you need to buy an armored bread box?

I love when dogs do that slow, gentle, "please stop that" half-bite. Like they're trying to pull your hand away lol

My croatian sheepherd is like that. She watches every single thing i do and is so smart that she knows how many times i have to turn the key to unlock the door. Still only 8 months old and playfull and stubborn like crazy.

thats just what border collies do

@@CanidRose that's called mouthing. Yeah, I much prefer the gentle but firm hints that some dogs give. As opposed to the dogs that snap at you immediately.

Border Collies want to learn..they're brilliant companions

Why does this comment not have more likes. I laughed my ass off 😂

Stewie griffin

Throw some Shiba in there and you've basically engineered the biggest problem dog ever. Not because Shibas are bad (they're great dogs if you know how to handle them), but because Shibas have their own form of stubbornness (less "I want to do what I want to do" and more "I'll only do it if there's something in it for me, and you can't tell me otherwise") AND their own form of high intelligence (less command learning and more problem solving). You'd end up with a dog that will only ever do anything for you if you bribe it, and will inevitably get itself into trouble constantly.

Sooo... Several physics techs I know xD

German shep/husky/collie mix. Your not wrong

One time my ridiculously well-behaved and unnaturally calm Sheltie jumped out of a pickup bed and sprained his hip. When I carried him inside and laid him on the sofa to check on it, I accidentally hurt him and he yelped and instinctively spun around and snapped at my hand. Just as his mouth closed on my wrist and his teeth started to touch me he realized what he was doing, froze, and got a bashful embarrassed look like "Oh, my; what on earth is this hand doing in my mouth?"

It's interesting how people who portray dogs as speaking English usually turn them into bad spellers/speakers. "I'm sawwy"? The dog can talk but only like a "delinquent" from "the wrong side of the tracks"? (^?^)

💀

A: the owner had best be a triathlete.

My BC Husky mix is on 16 acres loose she has a Boxer and a Catahoula mix to run around and play with. She is the Alpha and bosses around my 70 ib Boxer while she is 50 pounds. Very smart but a little stubburn

Well, my Collie needed about 2 or 3 miles a day at least, so imagine a husky cross! It's a great way to stay fit

Mush! I had a neighbor who would mush her two huskies while she was on a long board. 😂she was maybe 100lbs soaking wet. She'd FLY by our house. I suggested goggles because gnats and she had on a pair of aviator ones next time I saw them. 😂 the pups LOVED it. Giant goofy pup grins from ear to ear.

possibly for a (foster?) family with 10 kids or so

alternatively, for a lazy owner who wants to be forced to be less lazy

Those owners must be jacked, absolutely shredded, so fit that they can still lift weights after doing an iron man marathon, goliaths, actually able to move mountains.. just to keep up with this mix. Holy. Shit.

Beautiful looking dog. Never seen another dog bound around your garden like that. Needs a family of runners, lots of space, and/or animals to herd. Seemed beautifully behaved. Needs introducing to his wider family so he can learn The Song Of My People 🤭

@@the_renaissance That's how it works in our home. I refer to our dogs as my "personal trainers".

Followed by some doggy-detailing! :p

Nope. I said it too. 😄

Definitely me! 🙋‍♀️

Now I think she's doing it on purpose as a little test. Looking for this comment string LOL

I hear it in her musical voice haha

Did it at 2:07 too 🤣

I really appreciate his communication skills . He was like “I’m into you, but I’m not into this foot clipping biz.”

he was like.. "You freaking bi... beautiful woman!"

Exactly like my puppy ❤

Sneaky

We found that out ten seconds after we brought our Huskie, a rescue, home...but we miss her soooo much.

Yep. Border collies are smart in an obedient way. Huskies are smart in a mischievous and snarky way. If you're not mindful about it, a husky will end up training you!

@@faefae844 hahaha, I’m well trained by a 9 pound min pin. He’s a big part of my life but I’m his whole life so I treat him good.

my aunts husky tried to run for president and learned how to speak english they are very smart and very loud dogs.... she even called the vet and cancelled all of her appointments

@@mobstercrow7515 lol good one!

I have that same mix but he is the polar opposite, loves swimming but absolutely hates the bathtub for whatever reason. He'll hide under his pillow at the mention of giving him a bath. He is quite well behaved during the bath despite that though.

So sorry for your loss. He sounded like a wonderful doggie.

Teddy was blessed to live a well loved life with you. Please take comfort in knowing that he's your Border Collie angel. 🥰

This is the first time you've heard of this mix because this sort of dog would need to run a daily ultramarathon while being given mental maths puzzles. :P

Yes all I could think of is this could be as popular as the Labradoodle (not for the same reasons!)

Appealing looks in a dog are very individual. What you consider beautiful is not what someone else would consider beautiful so mixing breeds intentionally can go very wrong. The man who first crossed a poodle and a Labrador regretted it later. This is not a mix thst I would never ever consider. I do not find huskies attractive at all! Nor any other Spitz breed as I said beauty in animals is very individual.

It's truly a superb cross mix, I hadn't thought of it before but now I want to know the pro's and con's and if it would truly be a viable/ethical pet.

@@Quint1975 Control of a herding dog but with the drive of an extreme working dog. We added Anatolian and german shepherd to our mix and now I have 140lb versions of that dog. They are noisy, they are seriously active and they nip to get your attention. God bless anything that goes into their pasture.

yess

She mostly seemed curious.

That's what I thought too. And then he proceeded to lick for forgiveness.

when you dont listen to the "pls stop🥺Uwu forgiveness licks", they eventually do bite. tht is why she put the muzzle on...

@@invertedangel I completely understand why she put the muzzle on him. I’d do the same in that situation.

I had just put a comment about this exactly... But my dog is a Bugg (Boston Terrier/Pug mix). Go figure lol

I love aussie shepherds. They remind me of border collies.

@@JenA2145 My current dog is an Aussie Shepherd / German Shepherd mix, surprisingly calm but if you get her going she has energy for DAYS, which is great because my 3 year old loves to run her ragged. I will likely have Aussie Shepherds or Aussie Cattle Dogs for the rest of my life, I love the breed.

@@Spartan536 aussie cattle dogs are so cute too! Your dog sounds adorable 😍

@@Spartan536 lucky you. We got the German/Aussie death combo on our pup and ended up with exactly what you’d expect. But the apologizing after mouthing thing is spot on, same goes with heel nipping/herding. He’s a sweet sweet boy who just wants to be good, but my god is he a lot.

I found that part so charming as well, like he wants to just observe what she's doing to his feet out of curiosity 😆

Kai's intimidation tactic! 😁💓

Border Collies pure or mixed are beyond amazing. The are not an average dog. My border collie/lab mix crossed the rainbow bridge 3 years ago and hardly a dog goes by not missing her.

@@nancyhopper1522 They have an emotional intelligence that a lot of breeds don't have. I'm sure that when we get to see them again, they'll understand our happy tears. 💙

@@MirandaTheShinigami This is what I like to think, that when we get to see them again, they'll be so happy to see us, too!

That's because that wasn't "biting" at all. Mouthing in dogs is like you using your hands to make a point. If a dog bites you know it!

Smol nibbles of disapproval

the part where he suddenly likes the vacuum again because she was going down under kinda felt dirty lol

I bet she loves the big yard and her playmate

You did the right thing for her by getting her a good home.

I agree with hothot, props to you for doing the right thing. Who knows, maybe one day your situation changes again and she can live with you, until then it sounds like she's in good hands

It's wonderful she's still in the family!

@Claire: Glad you were responsible as to her wellbeing. A selfish or immature owner would have dragged her out of her best environment. Very good on you 👍

Also, he took the grooming like a champ. Some mouthing that he needed to be muzzled for mainly out of precaution, but honestly? They did an amazing job with him, given he is mixed with husky. He wasn't a high-strung mess either.

Yes exactly. We had one. A male with the exact attributes you have described. He was so lovely too. ❤

Lol Kai is not a fan of the "pup-arazzi." 😂

@@GracemarieJohnson you missed the obvious pun. It's pawparazzi. Not "pup-arazzi". Nice laughing emoji, I bet you're the only one who laughs at your jokes.

He is trying not to hurt.

Little "please stop I don't like that, but I don't want to bite you, but I also don't know how to show that I want you to cut that out" nips Such a gentle boy

He's just telling Mom the truth.

my collie does the same. "i cant talk, but i know how to tell dad to stop"

my GSD does something similar. when she's extremely frustrated with me she gently places her teeth on my wrist and stares at me, as if she's saying "I'm mad and want to bite you but I can't hurt my dad"

I was thinking the same! His humans will walk into the bathroom one day to find him with a hair shaver in between his teeth, paw lifted, carefully clipping between the pads, with a look that says "nothing to see here!" 😂🐾👍

He's likely doing it that way on purpose, as a warning that he doesn't like the clipping rather than an attempt to hurt.

That's collies, they will push away with nose then hit with paw, then this (lay teeth on you), then nip you, if this wasn't enough warning then teeth are going straight down to bone.

@@andrewgarner2224 Collies are like fiesty office workers that will give you several strongly but politely worded business emails if they don't get their way

I take my husky border collie for 2 hours in the woods and about an hour playing fetch daily. Probably walk like 3 miles a day scrambling through thick woods. He doesn't mind missing a day if it's really nasty out but 3 days being pent up is about the limit before he starts acting up inside. I've spent a decent amount of time training him to be calm inside the house.

I THINK H&K (one husky, one high content wolf hybrid) said his boys go for 8 mile walks every day or they go into furniture-eating mode. I'd imagine it'd be something similar for this guy.

@@GilraenTook it's all in the training. If you train the dog to be calm inside it'll be much easier on you. Malinois are supposed to be super high energy, hard to control blah blah blah but I've seen plenty that are calm inside the house and get energetic outside while not acting out. I don't get why people think you can't control a husky border collie, if you can't train a dog than maybe don't get one? My border collie husky has literally never eaten any shoes, sock, clothes, furniture, remotes, garbage or anything even including his puppyhood. He does what he's told, he's easy to train, he's athletic as all get out, he's a problem solver. I would recommend the mix to anyone who knows how to train a dog and doesn't want an inside dog to sit and watch TV with all day, although mine stays in the truck for 6 or 8 hours a day while I'm at work so he's alright with lazy time as long as he gets to run every 3 days or so. More than 3 days pent up and he doesn't destroy anything, he just wants to play in the house more.

@@mikewhitman745 I think you misread my comment? He keeps his dogs exercised so they don't have tons of excess energy that they have to find an outlet for.

@@GilraenTook no, I got that. Did you misread my comment? I'm saying if you train the dog to be calm inside it'll be calm inside, my border collie husky is calm inside and wants to play fetch and expel energy outside. He's never acted up inside destroying anything because it's been storming for a few days and he hasn't been out as much as normal. A properly trained malinois will be calm inside and not all neurotic eating furniture. The 5 or so wolf dogs I've known through friends have all been calm and didn't need 8 miles of walking a day to keep them from eating the house. Maybe basing your thoughts about these dogs off of what sounds like either a special case or a poorly trained dog isn't the wisest thing?

🧡🐍💛

She did appear to be posing for that shot. So cute!

Just making sure she does it right!

He's probably thinking: "I could do that better than her if I only had opposable thumbs." ;)

He's supervising!

'Do I like this?'

Mixed dogs are healthier than purebreds anyways. I don't get why everyone wants a purebred dog.

@@neonice You're right but if all purebred weren't 'pure bred' at the beginning then eventually all would be mutts and then we wouldn't know their true and or potential temperaments. For example, A Pomeranian Husky PitBull Terrier Wienerdog Chihuahua would be a complete nutcase .... I wonder what it would look like though 🤔 😉🤣 Also, though Merle breeds aren't always healthier than purebred's

@@neonice Depends on the breeder. Some of them out there are awful. But for the most part you're right

@@neonice Many of those disorders that are often attributed to a specific breed are just as likely to be found in mixed-breed dogs, including common health problems such as lymphoma, mast cell tumor, specific cardiac issues, hip dysplasia, and lens luxation to name a few

That's not actually true. Mixed breed dogs are just not tested for all the things purebreds are. Purebreds seem more sick because we know about their problems. But not knowing does not make mixed breeds healthier. If you do same tests to a mixed breed as to a purebred, it's very likely the puppy has similar broblems as both the parents breeds would. Like if you mix a boston terrier with a bernese mountain dog, do you think the puppies would be completely healthy without inheriting any problems? Also true breeders, who breed with the dogs health in priority, need all the testings to make sure the litter's parents create the most healthy puppies. With people who breed mixed breeds just for fun, they could very easily breed two dogs with the same problem and make the puppies have it even worse. Now if there was a breeder who tested their dogs and did all the things properly but with mixed breed dogs, to create healthy puppies? That would be great. Unfortunately that is rarely a thing. A few years back when I was looking for a dog (ended up with a mixed breed rescue) I found a website of a breeder who bred short-haired collies with two other breeds, to make puppies that were healthier than all three of those breeds and with the temperaments of them combined. I thought that was really cool, she talked a lot about all the genetic stuff and whatnot so she really seemed like she had fully researched to know what she was doing. She might have also bred purebred dogs in the past so a certified breeder. It bothers me that I don't remember her kennel name. Also my bad for not knowing the proper terms for things, English is not my first language.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

He's like, "Damn it..."

His face is like 😑 LOL

We had Border Collies growing up and that is such a Border Collie thing to do. It's the "you need to pay attention to me, remember I could be biting you to force you to do this" behaviour from their herding instincts, they just put their teeth on you and don't chomp down unless they are reacting defensively to something which is usually easy to train them not to do if they are domestic dogs and not working dogs since you don't want them to snap at a child that goes for the tail or face like they would a farm animal or predator being aggressive towards them or the herd.

@@CartoonHero1986 My aussie does this too, but usually in a playful way or if she doesn't want her paws touched lol

My Border Collie was a nibbler. She didn't like you to play with her toes, so if jerking her foot away from you didn't work, she slobbered and puppy nibbled the sides of your fingers. She played rough, but she never hurt me once. She was a very good dog.

My chihuahua mix does this too. He hates people touching his paws so he will very slowly bring his mouth to your hand if you don't stop. As he gets closer he goes slower and slower because he doesn't actually want to bite. He only ever does it if I'm trimming his nails, and i feel a little bad for how adorable i find it

That is just a general behavior for most herding/livestock guardian dogs. Both my Pyrenees mix Eeyore, my German Shepherd Raymund, and my Brittany/blue heeler mix Kaleo would be a bit mouthy but rarely if ever nipped hard enough to hurt.

Screaming, crooning, howling, “woo”ing

My husky/ staffie mix only verbally expresses his emotions when he REALLY wants something (like to go outside), is overly excited (when we get home), very upset (being crated or when he was high coming home from being neutered) or is very engrossed with a toy that squeaks. The last two are the only scenarios I've ever heard the awooooos, not from a lack of trying

You named your snake Pancake. 😄💛❣️

@@oneminuteofmyday there's a woman who has several snakes and one is also named pancake. In fact all her snakes have food names. One of them is Waffle

Mine would probably do the same thing. I named mine Kodama (after Japanese forest spirits. Cause he has that pattern on his body) Pancake sounds adorable!

their like " Oh, this is ok". NIce.

We call those pets "scritching the brain" at my house. My cat loves it so much that she'll yell at me to do it and cry if I stop.

@@mirih5368 oh my god I'm stealing that name hahaha

Go and get another one 😊 You deserve another fluffy friend

My family recently adopted a border collie puppy cuz my stepdad wanted help with our sheep since I was in college and my siblings moved out. She's only 5 months, but she is one smart dog. She'll harass you with her frisbees, but she will also tolerate everything and already knows most basic commands. Meanwhile my German shepherd hound mix just whines at you until she gets pizza or her walk in and only listens when she benefits.

Yes my husky/border collie cross did the same thing, she would lick to say “please stop” I trained her to lie on her side for nail trims and gave her treats afterwards. As a puppy though she didn’t try to fight me one ounce.

Wait ten seconds the situation changes, we speak from experience!

People see what they want to see in dog "breeds" The reality is behaviours are not correlated with "breeds". Most breeds are less than 200 yo, started by the Victorians. If you ever actually go to Alaska and look at a sled team, they look nothing like what people envision as a "huskie". Behaviors are by family, not "breed". The dog has been around for 20,000 years. Their behaviors aren't based on appearance anymore than humans are. There's plenty of genuine research on this.

cute to look at but it's a fat NO for me to own one

It's not like mixing the two results in an even higher energy animal.

@@kangeyisgr3at835 yeah….same XD

😢Our borador grieved the death of her little chi mix so we got her a toy that looked like her friend & called it by the name of our lost dog. She slobbers it but doesn’t chew it like all her other toys. Her santa riding a dinosaur is barely hanging on with limbs missing, other toys have many holes, all their squeakers bitten out & most toys must be tossed within a month. She knows this one represents her missing friend, amazing how a dog can grasp the concept.

OMG she sounds like Missy Greatness! 😊

And very fast . long distance runner...

I would guess she skips them when it's bad weather.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

stubborn already gives half the puzzle, the rest is easy 🤣

Add high energy to that equation too.

I have this mix mine in only 25% husky but he can be very stubborn on walks want to be sosical and wants to meet everyone dog or person though sometimes a little suspicious he still wants to sniff them before moving on. very kind and obedient when we are alone and despite the husky he almost never barks and I have never seen him howl or *talk* he just become 1 year last month. He is very calm inside(mostly) though he can quickly get very excited and playful if we do some activity/play where he can’t stand still but surprisingly manages very well when we have to take a quiet boring day and don’t get restless easily
