Possible new herding dog - Dog Forum, Dog Pictures and Dog Information | Thread profile

OK I will pipe up here..... I did not hear a Sheltie mentiond here at all..... I know they will not guard........ Hmmmmmm But they are sturdy and well documented for hearding in even the roughest places on this earth. They are quick due to their size and learn real quick.... The link is here American Shetland Sheepdog Association Sorry I had to let you know there is a need to consider the use of the animal and the function they are used...

I think an Entelbucher is a great choice! Enjoy your pup! I also think the Rottweilers are underused as working/stock dogs...and they thrive on it. There was a man at the beach yesterday who had a 15 week old Maremma pup. CUTE!

Awesome herders and great guard dogs, the most amazing temperaments and personalities. I have 3 herding breeds, the BC, and ACD, and a Sheltie, and I would have to say of the 3, the ACD is probably best suited for being a guardian and a herder, more so than a BC. But both are very good at what they do....
