People think that smart dogs are more obedient. But it's their smartness that makes them harder to train.

[Dog Encyclopedia ep. Border Collie] Hodu. Hodu. [(Means that Hodu doesn't like Hyungwook)]

Aw... You don't like it? But you're in a show. This is something called a show, Hodu.

Today's episode is on Border Collies. [Hodu - Border Collie / age 1]
Hodu came to our show,
but I'm not actually

close with Hodu. [(Comfortable)]
I always see the
owner couple in our center, so I want to say hi, since Hodu's so cute,

but she keeps barking at me so I could never say hi. [Characteristics of a Border Collie?]
Border Collies are famous.

They're known to have the intellect of a 7-year-old child, making them one of the smartest breeds.

Agility wouldn't have existed if it weren't for Border Collies. Skillful sports dogs.

The prince of dog sports. For that reason, Border Collies are very popular globally, including regions like

Europe or the States. Their activity level is unimaginable. If you actually see them herd sheep,

they run around in an endless field, moving large amounts of sheep [(Border Collie herding sheep.jpg)]
here and there,

which makes you think,
'How can I fulfill their need for exercise...' There is simply no end to their need

for activity. I've seen a lot of Border Collies that are feisty, but there was a reason for that.

Do you know why? When the owners didn't give them much exercise, and tried to raise them as calm dogs,

they became feisty. [Woof] What's wrong, sister? Come here. Good girl. Come up.

Nice. Nice. I know you don't like me. It's okay. [Border Collies are smart?]
They're really cool dogs,

but the rate of abandonment
is pretty high. So there are a lot of Border Collies
in shelters.

People think that smart dogs
are naturally obedient. This is what we think
when we use the word 'smart'.

This is what a dog owner
said to me in the past: 'You have no idea how smart he is.'

'He knew where the bathroom
was as soon as he came.' His definition of being smart was 'not causing me any trouble.'

There are people who confuse
smartness and 'easy to raise.' But it's actually their smartness

that makes them harder to raise. Think of it like this: I want to go out, right?

I want to do that as well, right? [(They have more desires since they're smarter)]
It's the same for them.
They want to do a lot of things.

I told people not to get Border Collies at a show in the past, but guess what?
More people started to get them.

[Just give me the snack] I'll give you one
if you give me your paw.

She seems so reluctant. Okay! She's opened up a little. I'm not saying
'never get a Border Collie,'

but really consider it. Can I give it enough exercise? Can I train it? [Raising a Border Collie]
So I always ask the owners

'Are you ready to enjoy
the Border Collie life?' What is a 'Border Collie life?'

Going on at least 3 walks a day, going to Yangpyung on weekends, planning your vacation in places
you can go with your puppy,

going to Jeju Island with them, etc. This is a 'Border Collie life.' If you can handle that,

You'll be really happy. Whether you go to a mountain or just on a walk, and they'll learn everything you teach them.

They'll be good at agility if you teach them; you can teach them catching discs and obeying you.

Literally good at everything, and they'll absorb anything. There's no limit. So if you decide to get one

and are prepared to enjoy the Border Collie life, then go for it. But if you don't like exercising

and affectionate puppies, then it's going to be tough for you. Got it? [Quotes by a Border Collie breeder]

I know a Border Collie breeder, and one of the things he said really stayed in my memory. The breeder, who knows everything about Border Collies, said,

'I don't give my puppies to people who have a yard in their house.' 'I think people who live in apartments or walk-ups are better.'

I asked him why, and he said, 'People who live in apartments are more hardworking.'

They take their puppies out for walks, let them go potty, and get more exercise, but people who have yards

just want to keep their puppies there. So he gives the puppies to people who live in apartments or walk-ups,

rather than people who have yards. [How hard is it to raise one?]

If you're like, 'We're doing well,' while you raise a Border Collie, you're lying to yourself.

Activeness...? Malamutes have the muscle capacity to run 250 km. It doesn't mean that they actually run that much.

But for these guys, you'd feel like they'd have no problem going 250 km. What was the longest walk that you took?

Like 20,000 steps. Oh... That's not enough. But we do things like [Walk = 20,000 steps + disc throw + bike riding] disc throwing and bike riding in the middle.

So it's not included in the steps. [(Moment of silence)] You're doing well. Excuse me, but how old are you?

I'm 62 now. But you teach your dog obedience and agility, and you come to our dog tracking.

If you're willing to do that much, you can raise a Border Collie. [A message to those who own a Border Collie?]

My eyes are watering. Good work, guys. You didn't know it would be this hard, right?

It hasn't been easy, huh? But now... You can't do without them, right?

People like you should raise a Border Collie. I don't represent them, but I thank you on their behalf.

Let's continue enjoying the Border Collie life. Fighting. [Describe Border Collies in a phrase] Border Collies are love.

If you raise a Border Collie, you'll have a hard time, but you'll also fall in love with them in a day.

Their charm is on another level. They're the best and they are love. Please raise them well.
