I had many neighbors knock and couldn’t believe we didn't have an invisible fence .
I had a black lab once that was like that, we lived on a river in FL, we had a doggie door and he would come and go as he pleased, every morning he would go into the river and swim down about four houses and say hello to a neighbors blonde lab that was kept in a "habitat" and walk down the street home, other than that he would never leave and I swear if he was in the house and I said "go get 777 jr. up" he would go to his room and wake him up, could also say now go wake your sister up, he'd go do that, or I could just say go to so and so's room and he would go to the correct room, very smart dog, was never destructive, his only vice was that he would absolutely kill himself fetching anything thrown, would do that till he dropped, he could also catch anything thrown at his direction

I have a border collie lab mix. While not trial dog smart, it's impressive how smart they are.
Mine likes to beg for food by trying to bribe me. If she sees me eating, she starts bringing me her favorite toys as a trade. Eventually I will relent and give her some food.
When she is finally done she will come back and take the toys back to her part of the room. Damn dog has figured out the barter system.

I've owned many over the years. I own a sheep ranch, and my BCs are necessary to move the livestock around. I've had as many as 24 at one time, but I now only have one.
My wife was real into the dog-trialing scene and traveled most weekends to run her dogs. Her bumper sticker: My border collie is smarter than your honor student.

Stunningly smart and athletic dogs. I had a roommate that had one in college. You could almost have conversations with that dog. It was always listening to what was being said in casual conversation and picked up on anything involving him.

Was that Gary Danielson on commentary?
It sounds like Gary McCord from CBS golf coverage.

They are great dogs. I don't advise having them in La. because of the heat. But, we kept ours indoors in the summer and she was a great dog.
