The main reason why the Border Collie can herd sheep is because it has a high IQ, is easy to train, and is very obedient to commands. In the past, the Border Collie was mostly used as a sheepdog, able to help the owner herd sheep or cattle, and also able to bring the sheep or cattle home before it gets dark. The sheepdog has a high IQ, and although sheep herding is rusty at first, the owner will be very skilled after walking with her twice, and the sheepdog has a natural desire to herd sheep, so she can better cooperate with her master to complete her work. Now the side shepherd as a pet dog breeding, some side shepherd very timid, but still exist sheep herding instincts, when out walking side shepherd, side shepherd always follow the master leaning back, or in front of the master has been watching the master, this is actually the side shepherd occupational disease.
