Lily, a golden retriever, and Raz, a border collie, chase a black soccer ball around their backyard in Melbourne, Australia, each with a toy in its mouth. Lily strikes the ball with a front paw at about 14 and 25 seconds into the 54-second clip, and Raz paws it on at about 23, 36 and 51 seconds, with family members rolling or kicking it back into play between turns. Checked frame by frame, the single continuous take shows both dogs kicking the ball with their paws, for a total of 2 dogs. Neither dog drops its toy to do it.

Raz, a border collie, and Lily, a golden retriever, share one long stick in a park in Melbourne, Australia: Lily lies on the grass with one end in her mouth while Raz picks up the stick near the other end. With the stick held level between them, Raz works a tennis ball between his front paws and kicks it away. Checked frame by frame, the video shows his 3 kicks while both dogs keep hold of the stick. Lily does her half of the job without getting up.

Raz, a border collie, trots up to a wooden equestrian cross-country table in a grassy field in Melbourne, Australia, crouches at its base and scrambles onto the top, where a red-and-white soccer ball is waiting. Standing on the tabletop, he paws the ball over the front edge and it drops to the grass below. Timed frame by frame from the video, 1.2 seconds pass between his push off the ground and the ball leaving the table. The jump is built for horses; Raz handles it like a step.

Raz, a border collie, starts this clip lying on the artificial turf of a Melbourne, Australia backyard with a tennis ball in his mouth and a mini soccer goal behind him. When a small basketball-patterned ball is tossed in from beside the camera, he rises onto his hind legs, heads it straight up off his snout, then rears up again as it falls, cushions it against his chest and pins it to the turf under a front paw. Checked frame by frame, the 9-second clip is one continuous take, with about a second between the header and the trap. The tennis ball never leaves his mouth.

Raz, a border collie puppy, trots down a hallway with polished wooden floors in Melbourne, Australia, a tennis ball already in his mouth, as a second ball is rolled toward him. He stops it with one front paw and passes it straight to the other, sending it rolling back the way it came, all in a fraction of a second, checked frame by frame in one continuous, unedited clip. His owner gives his birth date as February 7, 2021, which made him 4 months and 2 days old when the clip was filmed on June 9, 2021. Most puppies that age are still chasing the ball; Raz was already passing it.

Raz, a border collie from Melbourne, Australia, played out every match of the 2026 World Cup on a backyard pitch of artificial turf, dribbling a soccer ball with his paws into a mini goal dressed with the two teams' flags. Where the ball ends up decides each result: against the yellow cones on one side is a win for that team, down the middle is a draw, and the draw option disappears once the knockout rounds begin. Checked match by match in the 11-minute compilation, filmed over several sessions by day and night, Raz settles all 104 matches from the group stage to a best-of-three final, plus a few extra runs to break ties in the group standings. His pick to lift the trophy: England, over the Netherlands.

Raz, a border collie in Melbourne, Australia, leaps a timber rail to chase a red-and-white soccer ball, then turns and dribbles it back across the grass. He rolls the ball beneath the rail and jumps over after it, completing the out-and-back in 9 seconds, timed from the video from his outward takeoff to his return landing. The ball takes the low road; Raz takes the high one.

Raz, a border collie, works a small black-and-white soccer ball around a backyard training pen of artificial turf and red panels in Melbourne, Australia, with a tennis ball held in his mouth throughout. Partway through the 20-second run he sets one front paw on top of the ball, rolls it across, and passes it straight to his other front paw in one quick motion, the sole roll soccer players use to shift the ball from foot to foot. Checked frame by frame, the clip is one continuous, unedited take, and the whole move lasts under a second. According to his owner, this is the trick that gave Rollover Raz Entertainment its name.

Raz, a border collie, waits at the mouth of a blue dog agility tunnel in a backyard in Melbourne, Australia, at night, with a tennis ball in his mouth and a red soccer ball just inside the entrance. He dives in, pushes the ball the full length of the tunnel out of the camera's view, and pops out the far end as the ball rolls on into a mini soccer goal. Timed from the video, from the first frame with Raz standing still to the moment the ball is in the net, the run takes 5 seconds. Part agility run, part shot on goal.

Raz, a border collie, waits on a backyard deck in Melbourne, Australia, with a tennis ball in his mouth as a red Australian rules football sails in from off camera. He rears up on his hind legs and traps the oval ball against his chest with both front paws before it touches the ground, the clean catch Aussie rules players call a mark, and keeps hold of it as he drops back to the deck. Checked frame by frame, the video shows the tennis ball staying in his mouth throughout, so the catch was made with paws alone. Some dogs bring one ball to the game; Raz brings two.

Leah, a golden retriever, stands on a yellow ottoman at home in Melbourne, Australia, and flashes a wide, toothy grin straight at the camera in this 2023 home video. She breaks it once, for a quick lick of her nose about a second and a half in, then keeps her lips drawn back and her teeth on show for 7 unbroken seconds until the clip ends. That stretch, timed frame by frame from the video, is the record. Some dogs wag; Leah beams.

Raz, a border collie, dribbles a red-and-white soccer ball across a sports field in Melbourne, Australia, steering it with nose and front paws while the owner follows with a phone camera. Raz leaves the ball once, about nine seconds into the 51-second clip, then comes back and keeps it rolling for 38 unbroken seconds before trotting away from it. That stretch, timed from the video, is the record. Four legs, zero hands, no problem.
