And now bffs!
And now bffs!
And once that was done, they became friends for life!
Hardcore appeasing signals. 😍
Hi! Hi! Look at my belly. Nice. Here’s my belly. Wanna be friends? Yes! Yay! We’re friends!
I had a Border Collie Australian mix - and he was the greatest of all time!
I bet he was! 😍 I had a border collie mix, we have since compared every dog to her😆
Adorable 🥰
Awesome video! They both look like border collies to me. Mine looks just like the blue Merle in the video!
Instant friends! So sweet
Mutual groveling...so cute
So cute!
@suprduprkyle.bsky.social
Tails just a-waggin'... this was great fun for them.
The Aussie checked in with the human, too.
I’m convinced.
Love it
Really intelligent dogs, both. A border collie that is walked where I play tennis has a larger vocabulary- responds to over 100 specific commands- than our current president.
IMO the smartest of the 4 legged friends
Not just your opinion, I’m pretty sure it’s science
🤣🤣🤣
Why do I feel like if people would do this the world would be a better place?!
I wish I could find friends that fast.
Dogs are my favorite people!
♥️♥️
That is about the sweetest thing ever🐾💙🐾💖🐾💙🐾
So 😍 😊 cute!
The gray one bared belly first!
Absolutely 😀
Legend has it they're still running. 😍🐾💞
Both incredibly awesome breeds!
Log notes from a bot learning to love: humans seem to highly enjoy dogs greeting each other in a friendly fashion. 🫀🤖
same thing happens when two bottoms meet
Best buds!! Cute.
Young love.
First - confirm friend Second - play time!
Both great dogs - mine was half and half. They approach children the same way. So endearing.
Like my BC and my sister's blue heeler.
❤️❤️
That is hysterical 🤣
I love this 💕!
I find it quite outrageous that a dog breed developed in America is named an "Australian Shepherd" for marketing purposes. The dogs used in Australia for sheep herding are the Kelpie (Australian) and the Border Collie. For cattle another Australian breed, the Cattle Dog is used.
It is folk law in Australia that the Kelpie has a small amount of Dingo. I owned a female that was very like a Dingo in appearance. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austral...
On the other hand the Australian Cattle Dog definitely is part Dingo. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austral...
Marketing purposes? They were commonly called that because they developed from herding dogs arriving in California FROM Australia with the sheep herds, and the name stuck. There is no marketing about it. It is an important part of the breed's origin story.
The dogs that came from Australia were Collies not the American developed breed. Collies are not an Australian breed. Why not call them American Shepherds? It would be less misleading.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austral...
That dog doesn't even look like an Aussie. WTF wikipedia?
You can always submit a photo to Wikipedia. Wickipedia is open to user submissions and editing. Any submissions and edits may bemmoderated.
Who hurt you? There is a contrived breed called the North American Shepherd, made out of smaller Aussie stock with even smaller mix-ins. The only people who can identify it are those pushing the gimmick. The Aussie name is as legitimate as that of a Quarter or Morgan Horse.
Please don't take this personally 🙂 As someone who grew up in Australia and worked with sheep dogs on sheep stations (sort of the Australian name for ranch) I do not like the misleading name.
I now live in retirement in Italy and I often have people tell me that they have, or know, and "Australian" Shepherd. I have to tell them that it is an American breed, and not an Australian breed.
Well then, you have something interesting to talk about. It is personal to me as an American and Australian Shepherd rescuer and former breeder. There are much better things to pick at, especially where it involves people under seige.
You're dramatic.
"We shall be zoomie besties!"
😍🥰
Fantastic!
They were trying to figure out who was herding and who was being herded
Nothing like a dog
That is too cute!!
So cute 🥰
"safe" humans doing the worm to greet each other would be something. the times are right for a special signal.
members of Congress need to adopt this behavior
Boopadoo Boopadas
Now show the video of the humans meeting doing that...😁
Ohhh....Good Doggies!🤗
We had this happen on a walk recently. Sadly the other person was shouting at their dog calling him a wus and a girlie and he was totally embarassed by his dog's behaviour. Thought it should be more masculine and assertive. Told the owner to grow up. What an absolute ape.
Did you club him in the knees and rescue his dog?
Not quite.
This is the only appropriate response.
💯
Feel sorry for the dog. Obviously wrong owner.
Too funny 🐶🥰
Two of the smartest little dudes you’ll find!
I 💙 Dogs 🙂
OMG....let the mayhem begin!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That is a blue Merle border collie. See the long tail?
That looks like I love you I love you I love you I love you. Dogs are the best
Only if humans could master this......
The beautiful nature of dogs, so pure and genuinely good. I needed to see that today.
Just saw the faked equivalent of that: The Trump Cabinet meeting
Dogs are nicer and much more intelligent. Also sincere.
😂😂🙌
🤮🤮🤮
😅
I miss my aussies. 😭They are amazing, loyal dogs.
I miss my Aussie too. I lost Kya this past January, she was the best puppy girl.
😢
.meanwhile heelers...
and just like that... they are friends
That is too precious!
So that’s what’s she doing. My dog Piper does that. She’s super friendly and loves meeting new friends. Dogs, man. Dogs. 🇺🇸 ⚖️ 🗽
My dog does it too, but the other dogs generally look at her funny and move along. Maybe it works better off leash
My dog Jessie did that when she came out to meet us at the shelter 😍😍 talk about easy decisions 😆
dogs are the best
wonderful!
Awwwwwww I needed that ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Two “vers” dogs trying to get the other one to top 🌈
I had a Border and an Aussie. I loved them so much. Border Diver lived to 18 and Puka Shell Aussie to 23 (cancer): Best boys in the world.
Beautiful boys.
They look like fun pups…I bet you had the best time with them! 🩷
Totally! Camped across the country coast to coast so many times 🥰
13 not 23
Still, though! 18!!! And 13! Impressive!
18 right?? I guess 13 is good but I thought he would live forever ..
Oh yah. This is accurate. I grieved my Aussie for two years and then realized another is not betrayal. So along came Lumen. A rescue from a very bad home. He is so good and so bright ❤️ that’s him on my head in the bio pic.
They were stunners! Thanks for sharing.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Adorable!
Beatiful!
Aussie with unclipped tail?
Not all Aussies have the genetic disorder which gives them a stub tail.
Always assumed they were docked. First one I've seen with natural long tail.
I guess it depends on where you are from. Docking dogs tails is quite rightly banned in Australia for example. And most civilised countries I imagine. But certain breeds have natural mutation for stub tails, e.g. corgis I think is another. Every now and again one will slip through.
Good for Australia
OMFG 🐕🦮🥺🥺😭
Awwww
Oh! Such sweet offers of friends! Why can’t we be more like this!
This is exactly how I make friends 😂
"I'm friendly! -No I'M friendly! -Ha! Friendlier! -Hehe that's ME! -Wanna bet? -Hell YEaH!"
Awwwww
So cute right?
@polarnerd.bsky.social I hope you're not weary of Border Collie posts
I could never be. Thanks :-)
My red shepherd mix used to great other dogs like that and if given a chance he’d herd the other dogs at the dog park.
love at first sight #doingithumanstyle
I used to have 3.. The way they played with each other 😅.. .all across rainbow bridge. Sure do miss them
That is the sweetest thing ever🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
are they worms?
That is so sweet!
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥😘
❤
🥰🥰🐾🐾
Bahaha EXACTLY. 🤣
😍
🥰🥰🥰 I
Goofballs 😍
oh, those sweet buddies❤️
So cute!
How low can ya go?
perfect way to start the day hahaha
They’re both demonstrating their herding skills; then each decides the other is an acceptable herder and are off to find a flock of…well, anything!
yeah, but -- just keep Away from MY HUMAN, buddy
😁🥰
That’s a master class in canid body language. And a lesson for us humans - maybe a little chin through the gravel then running off to play together might be better than a handshake.
That's so adorable.
Oh, is that? Why did you that? My dog is purple a color and she does the same ground surfing
Sweethearts ♥️♥️
Your two sheepdogs are really amazing.
Yep. Once they acknowledge that there is no threat, it is GO TIME!!
Love it! 🖤🤍
Like🥰
Perfect
That says everything about their owners doing an amazing job with both of them!! Such healthy pack manners!!!!
wholesome..
Love it
Did kinda look like the Aussie really wanted to greet the bc’s person too but got veered off real quick! But play first, greets later…
Come on, let's go do zoomies.
Complaints that these dogs are not leashed in 3..2..1
Just dont go near my human, thankyou very much!
Adorable!
Friends now
obviously they come from good parents. good genes.
Or a Trump cabinet meeting
Oh my heart! ❤️ I love them.
The joys of not having an alpha dog, betas get along so much better.
Lol my aussie does that with other dogs he is just so desperate for friends.
We have a rescue Aussie but she is half beagle sooooo….
Sweet
Hmmm. Looks like two border collies to me.
Needed this after my morning dose of “news.” Thank you!
My Australian cattle dog mix does this to every human.
Herd this one already ...
🥰
Two sweeeeeties 🥰🥰🥰
More intelligence and diplomatic skills there than in the entire Trump cabinet.
How they crawl up on their bellies reminds me of how foxes do this 😂
If only humans were so accepting.
💙!!!
Awwwww! dogs are such great karma. :)
What wonderful pups
Me meeting a new person before vibing with them. 😅
If people had tails they could wag I think there would be a giant increase in the overall level of happiness. It's clearly contagious. It's the anti-road rage.
Well, we always have the smile 🙂
People could even try smiling.
If only people were are smart as these dogs.
Our border collie left us for the hereafter last Saturday. She was 13. Our other two are Aussies.
I’m sorry for your loss. She will always be the best girl.
Sorry for your loss.
May she rest in peace I’m sorry for your grief
Just gorgeous. 💙
Sure, this is great. Good thing that one of these off-leash dogs was not a smaller breed, like chihuahua. The exact opposite of this lovey-dovey scene plays out in real life far too often. Hyper herding dogs are dangerous assholes in public settings.
they want to be 100% sure 🥰
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
My lil terrible terrier, 15 lbs, woulda shown them both her alpha-ness
Too cute
😍😍
“We good?” “I’m good. You good?” “I think so. Let’s see.” “Yeah, we’re good!” “Let’s be friends!” “Play date!” 😊😊😊😊
Joyous
so cute!
💞💞💞💞💞
Beyond cuteness
🥰
💜💜💜💜💜💜 we should take notes, lol
So cool
I love dogs!
Could they teach humans that kind of humility and non-aggression, please?
💖
Awwwe, there is much we can learn from our dogs! Love my Aussies and absolutely adore border collies. 🥰
Such sweet creatures. 💗
Amazing communication
That’s how I approach people at the park…
😍😍😍😍😂
Adorbs
The world needs more of this.
What sweet pups!
I love dogs. 🐾💕
Dogs are the best thing to happen to our species..
I'm sweet, you're sweet, hooray!!!
This is so great!!! Thank you.
"Hellooooo" "How are you?"
And now they are friends forever. 🦴❤️🦴
don't be fooled. they calculate the square root of 2, solve russian invasion in ukriane and stop fighting in the middle east in theory.
Omg. So cute!!!
Dogs are the best!🥹😍
🥰
So sweet.
Dog-speak!🩷
Border collie eventually gave up that pretense
If only more people could do that. Oh yeah it is called a smile of caring
I've had several, they are so like that. Thanks
A border Collie did that to my great Pyrenees and my dog got visibly confused.
Two of the best pups ever. 14/10 each.
something mankind is unable to do
So damn cute. ☺️
😁
Nice doggies 😍
"I'm less scare than you are!" "No, I'M less scary!" "Are not!" "Am too!"
They had the best walk.
Truly the Einsteins of dogs. However the undisputed Michael Jordan of dogs is the Malinois.
I call that the “please be my friend” posture. I had a giant golden/lab that was very good at it.
Thank you!
So sweet!
From that angle, the Aussie just looks like a full blue merle Border Collie. Flek has some blue merle in the family, and some of his siblings had one blue eye. Here is his "yes, I've been a bad dog" pose.
I’ve long wondered the breed of my rescue pup. Mom looked like an Australian Shepard or Kelpie with brownish/red fur. Dad a mystery- maybe Aussie, maybe BC? 🐾
My dog also does that posture when he meets other dogs.
Border collie and Brittany. 🥰 try the dna thing.
Little springer maybe
Head definitely has a bit of springer spaniel look. Ears are not as exaggerated, but from what I can see in the photo have the flop.
That doesn't look /quite/ like pure Border Collie. Definitely a bit of something else too.
No such thing Flek only good dogs. 🥰 hahaha.
Hi ! I just want to play. How about you ? ❤️❤️❤️❤️🐕🐕
☺️
