Wow!

I love watching Border Collies work, but this definitely raises the bar! :)

That is incredible work!
I still can't believe that they had the time and precision to pull off the 'Mona Lisa' composite....:bows:

It is amazing how they can instruct the dogs with simple whistle calls.

I know what you mean, Joe. I've got a friend up in Wisconsin that raises and trains them, and they do some unbelievable things hearding animals based on instinct and simple commands.

If you ever get a chance to attend a Border Collie field demonstration, by all means do so, they are amazing animals.

If I had a sheep, I'd never be bored.

I saw a larger/longer/more detailed vid of the project, and it's really astonishing.

One wonders, though, what the kibble to scotch ratio was. :D
