 Herding Dog Breed Information and List
Herding dogs are actually a subcategory from the working dog. However, they are separate out as they are specifically trained to herd or have the instinct to herd. Herding dogs are capable to herd a variety of livestocks, for example, cattle, lamb, goats and even poultry. Some of the breeds are more suitable to herd certain livestock better compare to others due to their physical characteristic and herding style. Some of the dog used heel-nipping to move the livestock, some of them used their strong eyes to stare to control the livestock direction of movement, and some even jump on the back of the live stock to herd them. These styles are called heel, head and back respectively. All herding behavior is modified predatory behavior.
