I think the language usage is what gets folks (and dogs) in trouble here. If you take the generic definition out of the equation and apply the actual job the dogs were bred to do then this is not herding. Many Border Collie folks actually dislike the term “herding” and refer to what the dogs do as simply “working.” I mean, I2halveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11271463697506538106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438680005944241920.post-74600801801206122042009-09-04T23:47:29.409-04:002009-09-04T23:47:29.409-04:00I've never actually heard of that breed....but...I've never actually heard of that breed....but they are cute!

I find many small dog owners don't feel the need to teach their small dogs appropriate behaviours because they are small.

I think encouraging aggressiveness is the worst with small dogs. I have seen several dachshunds end up in rescue because they bit someone, sometimes a stranger in the house, sometimes another family member, sometimes over food, or *Amber* aka Suzy SINsationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16580012667538353784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438680005944241920.post-58002220843319876432009-09-04T12:14:01.956-04:002009-09-04T12:14:01.956-04:00Bit of a side note here.

What that dog is doing is simply a highly inappropriate and potentially dangerous behavior (especially for the cat!), generally related more to pray drive than work. I don’t know why people excuse this behavior from dogs with a herding 2halveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11271463697506538106noreply@blogger.com
