A border collie named Chaser learned the names of 1,022 separate toys and could fetch them on command: One of the largest experimentally verified vocabularies documented in a non-human animal
A border collie named Chaser learned over one thousand toy names through dedicated training. She consistently selected correct toys, proving her understanding of spoken words. Chaser also demonstrated exclusion learning, identifying new objects by their unique names. Her achievements challenged previous understandings of canine learning and vocabulary acquisition. These experiments continue to influence studies on animal cognition and communication.
