Jean from CodenameFarmcollie recently commented on a picture of me and Dare (who is a Border Collie) about the Border Collie 'eye'. Its one of the differences between BC's and us English Shepherds.
I have been told on good authority that Border Collie's think they can actually move things by staring at them. Of course Sheep do move away when BC's stare at them so its sort of true.
I wonder if I can make this tennis ball move if I stare at it ?
English Shepherds are descended from the dogs settlers took with them to North America to work on their farms from England and lowland Scotland. They were bred to be all round farm and family dogs rather than having just one job to do.
They have been recognized as a distinct breed by the UKC in the USA, since the 1930's.
Wizz is one of the dogs from the first litter to be born in England, she was born on the 3rd of November 2008. Wizz's parents Adam & Eve have been brought to the UK from the US by Jackie to reintroduce the breed to this country.
Check out the 1st web link below to find out more and why.

Did your mum let you spend too much time watching "Men Who Stare at Goats"? :)
Wizz, I'm sure you can do anything you put your mind to.
You just never know!
Luv,

Maybe one of our silly human's will get the point and throw it for you! Keep staring and let us know if it works!
Sam
Maybe you could try barking at it - that might get a human moving fast!

It's Stumpy's experience that if she stares at something long enough, it will indeed move! I'll move it for her!
Ha! I like the way you are trying!
That's funny Wizz. I hope it works for you. I've never been able to make it work!
Kisses,
