Reason I don't have a BC is I don't want a dog smarter than me.

Saw that video a few weeks back too. Border Collies ARE very smart...but I think the internet and overly proud BC owners have over exaggerated it a bit.
Our 4 year old BS is surely smart, but looking at her now reading the paper...She is moving her lips.
I thought him bringing up the sled one time was spectacular already. But he rode it with his legs and kept bringing it up again.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
