a dog named chaser knows 1,022 nouns. he can pick out what you tell him to thats in a pile amound other things. he knows how to find items with spongebob on it. the owner will say fetch spongebob and chaser will come back with a frisbee disk with spongebob on it. border collies are very smart and they learn from practice and repition. so the owners practice with their dog constantly and teach him the words so he knows them well. this to me, is amazing and it takes a lot of pacients for the owners to take the time to work with their dog and teach him the nouns and phrases.
