Border collies are touted as the most intelligent breed of dog. I’m not entirely sure I agree with this, having daily evidence to the contrary. I will admit that in my experience they are the most trainable, and among the most creative dogs I’ve had the pleasure to be around. Here’s Zip demonstrating her creativity on Karen’s large birdbath / dog waterer.

Zip getting a drink? dock diving? waiting for birds? your guess is as good as the next person's.
