Extreme transformation on a senior Border Collie 😍

[@shmaknapublar]

I love his reaction to brushing near his face. Very clear language with a gradual escalation of sincerity. Good ole chap whose been around long enough to tell it like it is with some degree of composure! :)

[@Kate-is5mz]

I could learn a thing or two from him about setting boundaries with poise 🤣

[@yuliaspesivtseva8521]

I think he could have some problems with ears inside. That's why it has so much discomfort for him

I love when he's looking around while all the hair is blowing everywhere like ' where's all this stuff coming from ?'

[@danielleking262]

I was thinking the exact same thing! 😆

[@NickLaDrama]

His “wtf is this? What is happening?” Face.

[@ritchieallanlu5508]

Agreed. I was actually wondering if he understood that this was all coming from him, not from any other. His face was like, "What the fluff is all that!" 😂

[@dovie2blue]

No idea what this is but I feel better than I did

[@chuck6318]

Just found the channel. My rescued 14yo Border Collie recently passed. Seeing the distinguish and handsome Mr. Hennessey brought a happy tear to my eye. His warnings when you got near his face were pure Border Collie! Keep up your great work.

[@mademoiselledusfonctionell1609]

I am so sorry for you. I still cry when i think back to when "my" border collie (she was not mine, but she was my best friend in my teens) passed.

[@Lorrainecats]

What a huge furnado! Sweet well-behaved doggie. Love him.❤

Oh my goodness, I swear that blowout defied the law of conservation of matter because it seemed like more fur was materializing as you went on! Very satisfying to watch

[@ladywithpinkglasses]

I think this is the first time I actually see older border collie! What a cutie!

I believe he's a contender for the top 10 furnadoes! LOL!!!😂 What a beautiful and well behaved gentleman. Great job with his groom, he looks awesome!❤🐕🐾

[@Herbybandit]

I've had Boarder Collies my whole life and a well groomed Collie is gorgeous! My "now" Collie would be in heaven in that furnado! He's the only dog I've ever known that's not interested in outdoor toys but loves to throw leaves, grass and fur balls in the air and do back flips trying to catch them!

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

My BC used to have the best time catching fluffy snowflakes... Either out of the sky as they were falling, OR if it was the stream of snow out of the snowblower... kinda like garden hose style. 😂 (We were really careful about only allowing it during powdery snow, and to not actually clear down to any syrface debris could be on)

[@debbiefox6846]

That is simply adorable. I had 3 Collies as a girl & younger woman. Not boarder Collies but Tri coat Collies. They really do seem to love the simpler things in life don't they? Just the Best Dogs💕 One of our Granddogs is a Husky. We love him so much & his singing of the songs of his people. 🤭🤣

[@pyzikscott]

Holy cow!!!! A MOUNTAIN of fur came off this dog. His patience and your patience are so remarkable.

[@sarahjo5570]

Oh my GOODNESS THE FLOOFS FALLING AWAY👁👄👁

[@shughl1]

I've been here since the very BEGINNING of the channel and the production, quality, camera work and other tidbits have just increased exponentially. Congratulations to Vanessa and everyone behind the scenes for one helluva channel. Amazing what hard work, team work and perseverance gets you!

[@failtolawl]

ok

[@trainer1158]

Yes, I remember when most of the videos were pretty similar, e.g., "tidying up Grinch feet" was in each one. There's more variety now and the quality is very good.

[@ms.cattypaws]

I am so glad you said something. I noticed a difference in picture quality several videos ago. The quality of the picture is so sharp! Maybe a new camera?

[@JaneAustenAteMyCat]

I never would have thought dog grooming videos would be interesting, but they always are

I do love a furnado!

[@ladyjustice1474]

Hennessy is 1 adorable well-behaved pup. Wonder how many of him you could make from all that under coat.

[@PamelaVidler]

WOW! Lots of fur. Very handsome dog. I bet he feels much better now. A friend has a dog that is part border collie. She's such a sweetheart, but when ever people get together for a party, she walks around the group, trying to coral them into the center of the room. It's quite hysterical. Dogs are so wonderful!

[@redwitch12]

Collie gotta collie :D I've never met one that didn't have that instinct in one form or another, from my uncle's rough collies that kept us kids rounded up in the backyard, to my friend's border-something cross that fussily polices up all of the toys that the other dogs leave scattered around :D

[@LaneyKate2005]

Mine used to help raise foster kittens and once they were big enough to leave the kitten pile it became his life's work to place them back on the pile.

[@PamelaVidler]

What a sweet story. Thank you for sharing.@@LaneyKate2005

Even the dog is looking at that furnado and thinking "what the heck!?!"

[@tessk7950]

Aww he’s almost all gray, sweet old well behaved guy…. I hope he lives for a long , long time ❤❤❤❤

[@technicolor965]

I was sick and had to go to urgent care, and I saw you on the TV in the waiting room! What a wonderful thing to see when I was in need of a pick me up! I remember you said once that when the hair balls stick to the fur like that, it means the dog was shaved in the past and their undercoat is damaged. I wonder if this happened to this kind boy? Another wonderful groom!

[@iimdone]

i think it could just be due to his older age and hil having such thick undercoat, so its harder to come out

[@melissamatthews4081]

That furnado was amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@angelahagood3639]

Hennessy is a stunner! 💕How handsome! Some mixed breeds just look so gorgeous. Whew! What a furnado! 🌪️🐕‍🦺 🙌🏻

Thank you so much for this complimentary groom - what an incredibly kind gesture for both the pup and his humans. He must have felt so good after.

[@akhilmathews7393]

He probably felt amazing afterwards.

[@89ceilidh]

One of these days I’d love to just see a video of the cleanup after one of these furnadoes. I think we should all have a healthy appreciation of just how much work goes in before, during and after a groom

[@JMonique41]

She's actually done a clean-up video before! I'm not sure how long ago that was or if it's in a playlist though....

[@parryyotter]

She’s done a video on cleanup. She said she won’t do it again because there’s no point, it’s always the same process.

[@jms7300]

Wow! He DOES look 10 yrs younger! Beautiful job❤

[@mikeman8428]

Hennessy is one good looking older gentleman! What a good dog he was to go thru all that without much fuss. He is truly an adorable good boy!

[@meekyw.4010]

I need the 20 minute satisfying version of this, I gotta have it.😂

[@krazmokramer]

The BC brain is silencing the husky mouth!! My two BCs are blowing their coats. Even though I comb/brush them several times a week, there is more fur on my carpet than there is on my pets!

[@vivianevans8323]

Hah - don't I know that! My beloved late collie girlie seemed to shed more the more I brushed and combed her, it was a standing joke around my house.

[@suemclaughlin8319]

What a sweet dog. We have a 13 year old border collie and my son has a husky. I can’t imagine a combination of that😆

[@samfisk3282]

Wow! I love when you pull the wild fur out...so satisfying.

[@JT1358]

Looks like cobwebs! 😂

[@antiquegirl6505]

My daughter had a babysitter, years ago who had a 'rust-red' chow. My daughter would sit with that dog in the spring and just pick the cream color 'blown coat' off of her, handfuls of it every day. The sitter always paid my daughter with homemade cookies, and the dog paid her with sloppy kisses.

[@dawnpatriciachampion4046]

What a really sweet well behaved gorgeous dog.

[@jesusbeloved3953]

I love border collies! We had one my brother rescued. We called her Lady and she was the most intelligent dog I’ve ever been around. Since my brother had passed away, I was with her until the end. What a noble dog she was.

[@geewizcw8821]

Loved watching Hennessy turn into an untidy dustball as all the undercoat lifted out of his fur...... then into a sleek handsome fella with the brushout. Thanks for sharing! He's such a well behaved elder gentleman!! ☺️💜☺️

[@garbledtransmission]

NOOOOOOooooo!!! I see the pile of fur in the thumbnail, but why no "AFTER" cleanup fur pile shot in the video? That was a huge amount of work, so take a bow and let us see the extent of the dedication! ❤

[@lisalindsay8472]

He's dreamy! You did a great job with his make over. Having previous experience with a Husky and a Border Collie, a Broder Collie-Husky mix would be my worst nightmare. Border Collies are super smart defy ers of the laws of physics and nature...and Huskies are escape artists with stamina for days. All that talent balled up in one dog is exhausting. I bet Hennessey was something else in his youth!

[@littlebear274]

I've personally seen a border collie leap over a six foot fence, so both sides are pretty good at getting out of places they didn't want to be!

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

My grandfather and I bred, raised, and trained Border Collies. I always tell people that it's very much like having a child with an IQ of 200. I will also recommend a fence that's at least 8 ft. (10 is better) with nothing close to climb.

[@drmsd14]

The way my laziness is setup would never allow me to even consider a border collie or a husky. A mix of the two?!?!?!?!? My brain is unable to comprehend. I hope Hennessy's owner(s) enjoyed all those 20 miles/day walks or whatever it would take to keep a dog like that from driving one crazy when he was younger.

[@lisalindsay8472]

@@parkerbrown-nesbit1747 Correct. You have to keep Border Collies busy working or they'll be in constant trouble. I very quickly learned that lesson.

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

[@hibiki54]

I miss by Border Collie. She was a pure bred working line with 4 generations of dame and sire AKC champions in agility and herding. She was the runt of the litter when I purchased her from an older certified AKC breeder in Pacific Palisades, Ca. I was her Charlie Brown and she was my Snoopy. She didn't do well herding and wasn't as fast as other dogs in the ball relay, but she was agile beyond all belief, could climb and could jump my 8ft tall gate to my backyard in one try. She waited until I got home from work before taking her last breath and passing at my feet. The best and most loved companion a man could ask for.

[@VictorMendez-l6u]

was it like your GF?

[@salemdog100]

I LOVE this dog. My "soul-mate" is a Samoyed dog that I had the priviledge of owning from 1981-1995. His name was "Booka" and I miss him every single day. Since "Booka", I have owned Shetland Sheepdogs, one of whom was another soul-mate. (They are similar to Border collies...) In this video, I KNOW that the grey undercoat that is shedding out is from the sled-dog side of his family! Watching this makes me miss "Booka" even more

[@FarmerFpv]

I had a Bordercollie husky mix. He was a nut! 24/7 zoomies and chasing birds across the lake disappearing into the sunset. We had to get in a boat to chase him down or he would be gone for hours trying to catch ducks that he couldn't catch. lol.
