When we go on hikes in the mountains, people often will comment on "my poor dogs" having to go for miles with such short legs. I think I might save this video and show people what they actually do. My dogs can kick my butt hiking. They always run 10-15 feet ahead and then come back immediately and judge me on my slower two-legged pace.

ONE dog did all that? Awesome No, no, there are at least 3-4 working. One is lighter/ whiter than the others so you see it zipping around more clearly, but there are darker pups that are harder to see. So cool, though!

Thanks for sharing! I have owned herding dogs in the past (Belgian sheepdogs) and it is amazing to watch them doing what comes so naturally. My second Belgian loved to round up my dad's herd of goats that loved to escape. Lacking goats or sheep, they are quite happy to herd small children and groups of people! I wish we had herding trials around here to go and watch.

I LOVE watching working dogs. As a child when we went on holiday to the south coast there would be sheepdog trials and I fell for it then. We live just by a farmer who breeds sheep dogs and I watch him training them occasionally. Once two of the puppies escaped into my garden and hid under a bush. Darling little fluff balls.

Clearly my Border Collie grand dog is being underutilized!

I grew up with herding dogs (English Shepherds and Shelties). They are awesome!!
