A herding dog does not view the flock as it’s family, it views them as prey. And is very enthusiastic about the fact they are prey. It stalks them like prey and moves them around from paddock to paddock for a grazier by chasing them and persuading them with intimidation. These dogs need to be extremely intelligent and in tune with their human handler, and they also need world class stamina and an eagerness to work hard for long hours no matter the weather. It helps as well to be very light on their feet and very fast with great agility to run rings around the herds and coerce them to go where they want them to. They excel where predators aren’t an issue, as they have no protective inclinations towards their sheep, but relaxing the need to protect has allowed for them to specialise to a truly elite level at their craft.
