The Herding group was created in 1983 and is the newest group that was classified by the American Kennel Club. Before this group was created, the dogs that are in this group currently were previously a part of the Working group. A Herding dog is described as a dog that is easily trained to help with herding purposes. Some of the dog breeds that fit under this category would be the Australian Cattle Dog, Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, and Old English Sheepdogs among others. These dogs are great for herding for farm purposes among others, but require lots of space to run around and exercise
Also referred as “collies,” the most famous member of the breed was the iconically loyal Lassie. Devotion to a single person or family is a common trait among the breed. A long-haired, alert dog with a regal posture, they should be socialized from a young age to prevent shyness around strangers.
This is known one of the most intelligent breed among the dogs.Although i haven’t come across this breed in Nepal,there are people willing to sell the puppies from Rs.8,000..I doubt this breeds purity in Nepal.
One of the most popular type of breed in Nepal.What saddens me most is people keep on buying this breed, without any proper information or it’s breed purity.
