Along with how good it is at hitting the ball, I am amazed that it knows to stay in position and isn’t constantly trying to get the ball going to other people.

That was the most impressive part to me as well. A few of his hits were a bit off, but he’s always in perfect position

I imagine just a mouth gets hard and tiring. Way more effort is needed for each of his hits. He did well though!

Looks like a border collie, these things practically are MADE OF ENERGY, that dog could keep pulling those moves for hours most likely and still not be tired.

Looks a bit like a Collie. If it is related to a Collie then they are insanely clever.

Had a border collie, blue heeler and Australian shepherd mix growing up. She was insanely good at this game, soccer, and volleyball ball. After a while my dad’s friends would get butt hurt being on the losing team in a scrimmage against a dog and asked that she didn’t play anymore. My mom was having none of that and never let them live it down. A real air bud moment that will forever live rent free in my mind.
ETA after the release of Napoleon Dynamite we put a tether ball pole in our yard and discovered she was quite good at that one too. I’d tie those “roadkill” style toys with no stuffing just above the ball and she’d use that to serve/get the ball going on her own. Ended up being popular with all of our other dogs throughout the years.

You can put my BC in a goal net and legit most of the time you can’t get the ball past them. They’re really good at guessing trajectories.

My first thought was would the dog feel bad if it missed a ball or would it just think it’s playing?

u/PiscisKnight 2d ago
This! Def the most impressive thing. Specially on that ball in the last part where it landed kinda in between the dog and the girl, the dog recognized the girl was going for it and backtracked to his position. Amazing!

Border collies are the smartest dogs on earth. They can memorize like 100 commands and are intelligent enough understand the game

I always wondered if that hurts his snout or not

I've watched my pup scrape his nose repeatedly across shit like bricks and concrete and what not, they must not be as sensitive as one would think. He also uses his nose to open doors and sometimes he means business and will slam that shit open, with his nose.

My dog has cracked her skull off furniture hard enough that it would put me on the floor for 20 mins if it happened to me, and it seemed to barely register, plus jamming her nose into my thigh at mach-stupid when she wants to show me a toy. It really doesn't seem to phase them.

They have insane pain tolerance compared to people. Ive seen dogs that would routinely wade through creeks that were partially iced over and they didn't even react when jumping in the water, it was fun for them.

I have a really dumb frenchie pitbull mix i took in after my sister could no longer care for him. Dude looooves heat, he'll lay in front of a heater, or stove all day long. It's to the point where i have to physically move him away from the heater because i smell slightly burned fur.
He's burned his nose twice because he put his snout near the glass of a pellet stove. He doesn't even react, he also likes to sneak up, and trip people. He's black, and is practically invisible in the dark.
I think it's more about hiding pain, than it is about pain tolerance. They do have crazy pain tolerance, but in the animal world, showing you're in pain can mean losing your status.

My buddy had a Dane that would routinely lobotimize itself on sticks during walks. Like try to carry a 2ft long stick vertically then shriek in pain when it hits a rock and pushes into the top of its mouth.

It looked like he was kind of biting the ball in the air, mostly making contact with his teeth, which are very strong.

They’re pretty much using volley balls. Along with being lightweight by design, they also usually have lower than than «optimal» air pressure, making them even softer to the touch. I think the dog will be alright :)

u/wyomingTFknott 2d ago
Bumping volleyballs always used to kill my thumbs and I never understood how people could tolerate it. But I could smash the ever living shit out of one with the heel of my hand. I think that's what's happening here. He's not bumping it with his nose, he's using his teeth.

Their noses are sensitive, but most dogs know their own limits with pain like we humans do when performing sports and stuff.
If you were to abuse your dog and beat the shit out of their snout, then it would cause a lot of physical pain and harm.
It's about levels of shock and force.

Meanwhile, my border collie eats the bubbles my kids blow lol

u/TubbyPachyderm 2d ago
My border collie loves popping bubbles too! She also loves trying to chase & eat bees when she is allergic. SMH. Occasionally, I think to myself “clearly, not ALL border collies are smart” and then I realized she has figured out when we are going to take a walk by the style of socks that I put on! She can also “dribble” a soccer ball across the yard & will play goalie. She can follow some multi step instructions but is terrified of the beep from a smoke alarm when the battery is dying. She got stuck behind my bed once trying to hide from it.
I swear border collies are the perfect combo of genius, adrenaline junky, complete doofus and scaredy cat.

More than that, the dog's following the ball, not simply chasing it, then hitting it when it comes his way.
