We have a border collie. Smartest dog I ever had.
Durn tootin’
I talk to mine as a person and she’ll tip her head one way then the other like she knows exactly what I’m saying. I speak to her in sentences .... she’ll sit up wanting something and I tell her to show me and she’ll run to what it is she wants.
Dad says it ain’t no real dog unless it can fetch beer from the fridge ... I told him to go get a Retriever ... they’re dumb enough to just do it ... LOL ....
