Herding Group Dog Breeds: Intelligent, Agile, and Born to Work
The Herding Group includes dog breeds originally developed to control livestock, using instinctive movement and sharp responsiveness. Recognized by both the American Kennel Club (AKC) and United Kennel Club (UKC), these breeds are known for their intelligence, trainability, and strong work ethic. Whether guiding sheep or responding to complex commands, herding dogs thrive on mental stimulation and physical activity. Popular breeds like the Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, and German Shepherd excel in obedience, agility, and service roles. Loyal and alert, Herding Group dogs make excellent companions for active families and those seeking a highly engaged, task-driven pet.
