After having several wonderful dogs over the years, I had never owned a Border Collie until I got married. The woman wanted one and if you are married you know this, the woman pretty much gets what she wants. I knew enough about the genre to know we were in for a challenge but it was something I wasn’t so prepared for or aware of. Having been the happy owner of a Border Collie for over two years now, I am simply amazed at how involved he has become in our lives. I don’t mean this to be a boring way, and in writing this I’ve struggled to explain it. What it boils down to is this; when this species looks at you, they are really looking directly at you. As in, right in the eye. Not in an aggressive way but in a questioning way like he’s asking, «So, what’s next?» The Border Collie look is really something to behold.
This look started when he was very young. As a puppy I would work with him in training and he would look me straight in the eye. Now I have always been told and read that this is an aggressive move that dogs use to establish dominance. I know how to look at a dog, but this is something else entirely.
You may also have heard of people talking about the Border Collie Stare which is also something different. The «stare» is the look they get when their herding instinct kicks in and is unmistakable. We see it all the time when someone picks up a tennis ball.
