Because we haven’t seen one in a while.
An anecdote I ran into on reddit recently (here):
![C'mon, we just go down another mile and a half, and then go left on the 'Long Pass Trail', and we're there. Border Collie](https://dogsofsf.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/CIMG6590-600x617.jpg)
I was at a dog park after dark the other day, and I spent a good two minutes 'dancing' with a border collie. I'd jump right, and he'd jump over in front of me. We never touched each other, just mirrored each other's movements. It was fun.
![C'mon, hurry! If we get there soon we can take a quick swim before setting up the tents! Border Collie](https://dogsofsf.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/CIMG6591-600x456.jpg)
What's black and white and well-bred all over?
Looks more like a Karelian bear dog to me.
Good god, you’re right, it does.
I’ve never seen or even heard of one before. I wonder if it really is?
