This final answered answered the question I had on why teams use border collies instead of just whippets/crossbreeds: Fewer errors!

That's the gamble

Road runners was fast, errors did them in. Watsons was consistent and error free, congratulations to the winner.

Canines just got it all stamina and speed ! This is amazing to watch.

If this sport got big enough where a large enough population of collies were breeded to select for more short-distance speed while maintianing other characteristics, we’d have a whippet fast collie! Just give it a couple decades! haha

The little leg bands lol so cute

Can someone explain how Watson won? The other team clearly were faster on that last round

Its an easy calculation: whippets are faster but make more mistakes, herders are mostly mistake free. If they loose the ball thats it.

Yes, the other team is by far faster, but there are rules and they committed errors that in this kind of race are very costly. First error, 1st dog did not run on the first round. Second error was on 2nd round, it happened on the 3rd dog crossing the start line before the 2nd dog cleared it making it a fault (a foul of some sorts) which in turn cost them the championship. Speed is very important, but they have to be error free.

Well!

Just get some whippets and its Game over

super fit dogs. that one owner can barely stand lmao

I'm a fan of road runners, but the rule is the rule. It may feel like the other team does not deserve to win but they absolutely DO. Errors or faults cost the road runners the championship.

Sweet jesus lady!? What have you done to yourself??

Christina needs to get in the track too
