I had to smile at this video of a Border Collie puppy trying (quite instinctively) to herd a small flock of ducks. I think he was enjoying it a lot more than they were!
Can anyone translate the ducks' quacks for us? I suspect they're being rather uncomplimentary about border collies in general, and that one in particular!

Happy Friday :) Adorable video thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what they're saying but I heard a very different quack when a bucket of snails got dumped over the fence into a duck pen.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I do know Hamster
ReplyDeleteI've had Border Collies, English Collies, Shetland Sheepdogs AND Ducks for years. Couldn't be clearer.
ReplyDelete"Duck off, Lassie!"
Quack the quack off, you quacking quacker
ReplyDeleteWe had an Australian Shepherd that did that to our ducks. I was a kid in school, and the ducks lasted about 5 days being herded down to the barn and back to the house... all day every day. They all died... That dog worked them to death. One of those "I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it" things...
ReplyDeleteMy half border collie does that with packs of coyotes. As an adult she is more effective in keeping the contained.
