Cute shot Paul. He reminds me of one of the "smartest" dogs I ever ran into, also an Australian sheep dog. He was owned by the owner of a great restaurant (el Diablo) in Torrey, Utah. When you arrived at the restaurant, the dog would pick some one out to play with. He would then pick up a chosen toy - from the usual to even a skate board, and then proceed to play until he was no longer interested. He would ride the skateboard down a slight grade and then grab it in his mouth and return it to his chosen partner to play some more. Before we got there several years ago, a crew shooting a truck commercial for Chevrolet was in the area and were so impressed with the dog that they put him in one of the commercials they shot. That dog also had blue eyes with a gray coat.
