Australian Shepard's and the Border Collie breed have intelligence surpassed only by "elite" members of the Boneyard. That is how intelligent these dogs are.
The halftime show was the most entertaining part of the evening. A fan near us walked out stating "I can't believe this is basketball". Maybe he didn't appreciate our Valparaiso quality defense last night? If not mistaken these dogs were all rescues? Front page of the Courant had a great pic.
