    It’s all fun and games until someone gets too far and then You Will Be Herded. Border Collies don’t play that.

      I’ve never had a BC, but I have had a sheltie, and Aussi, and a couple of Heelers. The Heelers in particular just treat you like a cow and boop and nip as necessary to make you do what they want. They are brilliant too, but not subtle and don’t seem to view challenges as amusing for their own sake.

      If a BC is the master thief carefully working the treasure chest with a lock-pick, the Heeler is the tank who just bashes the thing open, traps be damned, but they’re smart enough to remember to chug a bunch of potions first.
