Herding dogs

Herding dogs are a group of breeds specifically developed to manage livestock, such as sheep, cattle, and goats. They possess natural herding instincts, enabling them to guide and control animals through body language, energy, and intelligent maneuvers. Common breeds include the Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, and German Shepherd. These dogs are often highly intelligent, energetic, and trainable, making them valuable partners in farming and ranching. Beyond their work, herding dogs can also excel in various dog sports and make loyal companions, but they require regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive.
