Herding dog

A herding dog is a breed trained to control and move livestock like sheep, cattle, or goats. They have strong instincts, agility, and intelligence, allowing them to quickly respond to commands and instinctively gather or direct animals. These dogs often work closely with farmers or shepherds, using herding techniques such as circling, guiding, or driving. Popular herding breeds include the Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, and German Shepherd. Their agility, focus, and trainability make them excellent at managing animals, and they are also known for being highly active and intelligent companions.
