American psychologist Dr. Stanley Coren declared the border collie the most intelligent of 113 dog breeds.

A well-trained border collie named Bob has sold for nearly £10,000 at an auction in England, making him the world's most expensive sheepdog in 2013.

Thanks to the breed's outstanding intelligence, it excels in many areas and sets world records. Chaser was considered the smartest dog in the world; he knew the names of more than 1,000 objects. His breed mate, Jumpy, holds the record for dog skateboarding. Ozzy is unbeatable at balancing, and Striker is a champion at manually rolling down car windows.
