that is not a nine month old he is way to small, open the window to expand the video, that is a 9 week old, my border collie was that big at 9 weeks old, look at the face, a nine month old is bigger and the snout is longer, he just happens to be an exceptionally super smart little guy born with those instincts, when I first saw my border collie at just 2 weeks old, he was already pushing a ball around, they are what you put into them. I have had the pleasure of having four in my life time all males and they were all different, only one had those instincts at a very young age, I ended up giving that one up to a woman who had 11 acres and four other border collies, He was an escape artists and really wanted to herd all day long, he later on became an agility champ, so he did what he loved best. Even though I miss him, I don't regret giving him to a woman who absolutely adored him and spoiled him rotten, but that is a nine week old pup

@@praiseworthy1087 ummm... Not trying to insult you. I was just asking the correct age. Thank u for clarifying. I am a long time dog owner of awesome dogs. I thot the age might be a typo. Sorry if it felt like an insult. I'm not an Internet troll!! Kudos to u. I am aware of what u put into anything is what u get!!!

@@oliviam5571 you did not insult me, I just happen to be on my forth border collie, and it is a fact that borders are the smartest dogs in the world, so it absolutely did not surprise me that the pups, herding instincts kicked in at such a young age, my third border was a true border collie and was herding everything that was not nailed down including me, and was a very young pup too, those dogs with extreme herding instincts need to be on a farm, that pup just knew his job. I met my forth border at just two weeks old and he was already pushing a ball around and his little eyes were only opened 3/4

Kudos to nurtures of fine working dogs of all breeds. I am sure the dogs are just as grateful for falling into the hands of awesome owners that t a Jr exceptional pride and care of them!! We need more great owners in the world!!
