Working Dogs

Herding is a centuries-old canine occupation that has a long tradition in Great Britain, home to this collie and its herd of sheep. As with all working dogs, yet even more so with herders, these dogs must not only be good at their task, but they must easily develop a close collaborative friendship with their human bosses. They must also be undaunted by much larger animals that might kick or trample them if they're not vigilant. Bred for stamina, herding dogs work with their masters all day in the fields and take verbal orders from a distance.
