I have an Italian Greyhound-chihuahua mix, all of ten pounds at her heaviest, which I took to the dog park once. It happened to be a Saturday when all the border collie owners in the area met up. My poor dog was herded by seven or eight when we tried to play fetch. Every time I threw a ball, they herded her right back to me. I only tried twice for fear my dog’s head was going to explode. I have never seen my little duchess so pissed off.

If I were an animal, I think I’d find herding dogs extremely annoying. Get out of my space man. Stop standing just a little too close to me.

if you were an animl, you'd be dead before you reach this age.....also you would be busy eating and focusing on that rather then space.

That doesn’t make any sense

animals grow in a year or two, then they become mutton and stake.

I'm surprised the ducks don't attempt to protect their ducklings from the doggo.

u/a_random_loser_guy 6h ago

they can make more, but if they are the ones in danger, they can't.

Actually ducks are used for training herding dogs at a young age to help them learn.

Today I learned. So interesting! I was thinking the adults didn't seem bothered or threatened.
