border collie?
No, but I was watching "Band of Brothers" with my wife's Jack Russell Terror.. Terrier the other night.
He was curled up on the floor near the TV. I had the surround sound cranked pretty good listening to a dialogue scene, and then all of the sudden in the show, a shot rang out. Then a tank shell. When the tank shell went off, he picked his head off the floor looking quite startled, then, a puff of air from the subwoofer hit him and he jumped about 4' in the air. By the time he was landing, the gun battle had fully erupted, and there were bullets whizzing by on the surround sound system.
That little fxxxer got so scared, he hid between the small of my back and the sofa cushion until the battle was over.

That helps alot, thanks .
we had a border collie (not really "ours", she got dumped on us when the in-laws fxxxed off to hawaii for a really extended time period), she would bugger-off and hide for about three days whenever there was a thunder storm, or gunshots up the valley. come back all half starved and filthy.
right now, the cattle dog is too smart to care about thunderstorms. and the doberman is to dumb to care.
They could care less.
unlike joe-e's dog, they couldn't give a s***.
We had a bad hail storm some time back......that crazy bitch of mine was out there trying to catch marble sized hail in her mouth like flies.wtf......every Heeler I ever was nuts
Before anybody ask............yes she has two very nice dog houses

our heeler is great. they are smart like a jack russel, but without the napoleon complex. i think we got a doberman that was made on a friday afternoon. dobermans are usually stoic and attentive, mine's a wing-nut, not mean just simple. we used to have a doberman x rottweiller, we could leave the house and come back two or three hours later, and she was still on the same spot on the step. if you came into the yard at night, she wouldn't bark, you just hear something running at you.
Just make sure you let him/her in, I've heard stories of dogs freeking out and jumping through closed windows. The aftermath was a huge vet bill.
That just ain't right for a bird dog..
now that was fawking funny!!
our big old dog will come running when the thunder rolls but any other loud sound and he will sleep right through it.

A little clarification on my part...
He goes out in a kennel during the day when we go to work but is a house dog most of the time.
I meant to say he never goes 1 or 2 in the house , he's pretty housebroken that way.
But I try to be nice and not leave him outside in bad weather, like we had last evening, and I get repaid by him s***ting on the carpet and pissing on the floors whn he hears thunder.
He is a nervous fxxxing wreck, always has been.
He needed an operation two years ago for an ulcer.
Ever hear a dog have a fxxxin ulcer??
Oh well sorry for the rant guys. I love him but my patience has worn thin over the years. You would think all living creatures would all learn certain things over the years but some just seem to digress.
That would be Mojo.
My nit witted Golden hates thunder storms and fireworks. He's gone through every screen in our house at least twice in the last 3 years. This last batch of t-storms we had we lost a window to him trying to gnaw through it. He chewed the frame so bad the whole window had to be replaced. He did that while he was on 3 doggie downers.
