herding breed

Herding breeds are a group of dog breeds specifically developed to assist in managing livestock. These dogs are known for their intelligence, agility, and strong instinct to control and herd animals like sheep, cattle, and goats. They often exhibit traits such as alertness, focus, and the ability to respond quickly to commands. Common breeds in this category include the Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, and German Shepherd. Due to their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation, herding breeds thrive in active environments where they can engage in tasks that utilize their herding abilities.
