Poor little dog needs a job. I agree about the farm. I have one that is crossed with a blue heeler, a great dog, and she works on the farm.
That "poor little dog" want's to herd everything---people walking by, squirrels, birds, even the falling leaves.
We have a dog too but the only time our's barks is if someone or another dog is in our yard. She does bay when trains go through town but only during the day. We worked with our dog enough to train her. Therein lies the difference. Border Collies are extremely intelligent dogs (had one growing up on the farm) but they have to be trained.
