Herding Group

Dogs in the herding group are bred primarily for controlling the movement of other animals, typically livestock. These breeds, such as the Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, and German Shepherd, are known for their intelligence, trainability, and keen instinct for herding. They often display behaviors like circling and gently nipping to direct animals. Herding dogs are usually highly energetic, requiring regular exercise and mental stimulation. They often excel in dog sports and obedience training, making them well-suited for active families and work that involves problem-solving and agility. Their loyal and protective nature also makes them excellent companions.
