Dogs of the herding group have in common the desire and ability to control the movements of other animals, most often sheep and cattle. In some species, this is accomplished by stalking and staring, in others by barking and in others by nipping. Some herders have gathering tendencies, whereas others have driving tendencies. All have in common the ability to work using both their owner's commands and their own judgment. Herding breeds make intelligent and devoted partners.
