Herding Breeds

The Belgian Sheepdog is not that common but is an excellent herding dog.  It is relatively large and related to the Belgian Malinois.

The Old English Sheepdog is a gentle giant.  It requires lots of room to run so this is not the breed to own in a studio apartment!

The German Shepherd is one dog you are never going to out run.  This is why they are used so often in law enforcement.  They do make loyal pets but can become aggressive.

The Collie is a wonderful breed of dog.  It graced all television screens across the country as the head "dog" in the show "Lassie".

The Welsh Corgi is a strong willed dog that bosses other animals around.  It is currently owned by the Queen of England, Elizabeth II.

The Bouvier des Flandres is a strong herding dog meant to live in a rural environment.  This breed of dog was made famous as it was owned by Jacquie Kennedy.

The Border Collie is a gentle breed that loves herding sheep and just about anything else that moves!  Agile and medium sized, it also makes a great family pet.

The Belgian Malinois is primarily used by law enforcement on their respective canine units.  Strong and quick, they can easily tackle any suspect.

The Bearded Collie looks like a Sheepdog but the big difference is, is that the Bearded Collie has a tail!  Great with children, they do best in a rural environment.

The Australian Shepherd will herd about anything in its path.  It is a strong, athletic animal that does best in a rural setting.
