Extreme Shepherding




I'm probably the last person in the world to have seen this viral video. It's a commercial produced by Samsung to advertise LED TVs. The sheep are fitted with LED lights and herded to create a fireworks display, a version of the Mona Lisa and a game of pong. Great choreography!

Thanks Donald!

  1. No, you have company...I've never seen this wonderful video until your post.
    I so enjoyed this.
    What a fabulous idea...and to make it actually work so well...bravo!
    I've always been amazed by border collies & their abilities...this totally raises the bar!

  2. Border collies are intelligent so the makers of the video had a relatively easy task. It's a good thing they weren't working with afghan hounds.

  3. Yes, Border Collies are so intelligent when they get bored, they find ways to amuse themselves. Believe me, you won’t like the ways they find to amuse themselves.

    Mine would try to herd the deer and rabbits coming into the yard, and my buddy told me recently, his Collie has been amusing himself by herding his turkeys onto his porch.

  4. I once had a smart dog and she caused no end of trouble and damage. Once she died we switched to Cavalier King Charles spaniels who were basically dumb love sponges.
