HERDING GROUPThe Herding Group, created in 1983, is the newest

AKC classification; its members were formerly members of the Working Group. All breeds share the

fabulous ability to control the movement of other animals. A remarkable example is the low-set Corgi,

perhaps one foot tall at the shoulders, that can drive a herd of cows many times its size to pasture by leaping and nipping at their heels. The vast majority of Herding

dogs, as household pets, never cross paths with a farm animal. Nevertheless, pure instinct prompts many

of these dogs to gently herd their owners, especially the children of the family. In general, these intelligent

dogs make excellent companions and respond beautifully to training exercises.
