Plus her barking is harmless . Gotta love Tilly. Kate could do the job by herself, probably unsupervised. She is one focused shepherding dog.<br /> Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03940843539715709646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-43002398758485054772017-02-02T12:30:58.345-05:002017-02-02T12:30:58.345-05:00Tilly would be much coveted in New Zealand, where ...Tilly would be much coveted in New Zealand, where one of the herding breeds uses barking to control the herd.

Some of the feedlots in Alberta use them- better in close confines as their short legs aren't good for long runs- and because they are so low to the ground, when the cattle kick out at them it literally goes over their head. So they can get in close without getting hurt. (Much!)<br /> I think border collies are good teachers, I've watched Tess teach the various young dogs I've had over the years. And they do work well in tandem with other dogs on a herd. I saw one video on Facebook where two dogs were working a heard of yearling steers and trying to pen them. The steers didn't want to move much and one dog was driving them while the other dog flanked- even sailing right over the other dog to get to the flank in time. Good stuff!
