The stunt with the ducks, dogs, and little girl was cute.  The stunt demonstrates the skill that those border collies have in their bones.  Borders can herd ducks but their original and continuing use was/is herding sheep. When trained the dogs respond to whistles from their handler, the shepherd. They can hear and interpret certain whistles to instruct them to herd the sheep in any way or direction that the shepherd chooses. Magnificent show to watch.  I have been to quite a few "herding trials" and have always been amazed and appreciative of the dogs performance.

Border Collies are not the only sheep herding dogs of course. There are Australian Shepherds, Great Pyranees, Malinois, etc. Any of them, if well trained, can put on a g0od show. Borders are the top of the heap for show business.
