(145,968 posts)I miss my bearded collie. He was great at herding
At one herding trial, the sheep figured out that they were faster than the corgis. Corgis are bred to herd cattle and are in trouble when the sheep figure out they could out run the corgis
If you get a chance, go to a herding trial. It is amazing watching these dogs do what they bred to do
