Border Collies are Very Smart Dogs...

I'd like to introduce Gaea, our very smart Border Collie. She's actually a herd dog, but since we don't have cows or sheep, she herds chickens, geese, cats, children, deer, airplanes and anything else that moves. She's best pals with our younger Border Collie, Luna. Gaea loves to go on hikes and float trips, but she hates it if there are any stragglers or if anyone gets too far ahead of the group...She's very aware and lets us know if any critters come onto our two-acre organic farm...

Here's Gaea in action. She can catch up to a running deer and just likes to run alongside them. These two played for 30 minutes together.

She usually gets to the ball before it lands...

She's going to catch that ball whatever is required...

She's actually listening for instructions...

Does great poses...

Another pose...

And here she is chasing the cat...just for fun...
