Meet Chaser: The incredible border collie who has learned the names for 1022 toys. By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 08:32 GMT, 31 December 2010 Dog owners like to think that their pets understand what they’re being told.

However, there is one dog who appears to understand a great deal of what is being said. Chaser the border collie knows over 1,000 words - more than any other animal Border collie Chaser has, according to psychologists Alliston Reid and John Pilley, managed to learn more than 1,000 words.
Their findings could mean that all those conversations with our pets aren’t entirely wasted. Professor Reid and Dr Pilley worked intensively with six-year-old Chaser for three years to see how large a vocabulary she could command. They made up names for 1,022 toys, including frisbees, balls and stuffed animals, and found she was able to learn and remember them all.
