The Herding Group, classified by the AKC in 1983, consists of intelligent dogs originally from the Working Group. Known for their ability to control the movement of other animals, these breeds, including the energetic Corgi, often become beloved family pets. Despite most never encountering farm animals, their instinctual traits prompt them to gently herd family members, showcasing their loyalty and intelligence. From the alert Australian Cattle Dog to the friendly Shetland Sheepdog, these dogs excel in training and companionship.

HERDING GROUP The 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.
