Shepherd dogs are also divided into many breeds, such as Scottish shepherd dogs and border collies. The biggest role is actually to act as a guard. On some farms and pastures, it can help owners take care of and protect livestock. In addition, some shepherds are also relatively large, which has a deterrent effect to a great extent.
Of course, sheepdogs are not born with this talent for driving sheep. Many of them are actually trained by their owners the day after tomorrow, and these trained sheepdogs have unusual vigilance, especially for some moving objects, they like to chase. Sometimes sheepdogs and shepherds can also drive sheep well if they cooperate.
In fact, as we all know, dogs have a very sensitive sense of smell. Shepherd dogs can also determine the position of the sheep by its smell, which is also very convenient. Sometimes, sheepdogs will drive the sheep away by smell and take them to some places designated by their owners, such as sheepfolds.
But in fact, for shepherds who drive sheep, this kind of guard-like work is not suitable for every shepherd, because some shepherds, if they are very grumpy, may scare the sheep and may even bite them. Everything is spiritual, and shepherds are sometimes very professional at herding sheep.
It's actually quite amazing. Only one shepherd dog can catch up with thousands of sheep. But because of the usual work, a sheepdog needs a very strong body and runs at any time, which is still a very tiring thing. But sometimes the shepherd dog is also a good helper of the owner, with a high degree of domestication and a strong sense of cooperation.
