Perhaps they should let her vote...


Border collies are reputed to be the smartest dogs in the world.

An  Austrian border collie called, for our purposes, "Betsy" (not her real name; she even uses a pseudonym!) is apparently the smartest border collie in the world.

When I lived in a parsonage, for some reason I never got a dog, although I had several opportunities. The two dogs I had when I was in high school and college were both shelties (Shetland sheepdogs)- a breed which, as the list linked to above indicates, are themselves no slouches in the canine brains department. But before I die, I'd like to have one border collie- even if it's one with a less extensive vocabulary than "Betsy's."

Of course, mine would have to speak English.
