If the English Shepherd was a baseball player, it would be a utility infielder -- steady, reliable, and able to shift between a variety of jobs on a moment's notice. Even though specialists may be able to perform a narrow range of tasks with greater style, the English Shepherd could be the ideal stockdog for diverse, small farms. Welcome to Farm Dog.

Can a livestock guardian dog be trusted to stay with its herd even if it's enjoyed some moments on the porch in the past?

The Australian Cattle Dog (ACD), obviously, was bred for cattle work. But today's farmers and ranchers don't often demand much from the breed, and its appeal to pet owners is strong even though some of its cattle dog instincts are undesirable for domestic life. With pressure to change coming from all sides, who's going to bat for the working genetics of the ACD? Welcome to Farm Dog.

Gary Williams is a cowboy, an author, and a horse and stock dog trainer, but he's not a geneticist. So when he went looking for pure McNab dogs to be the foundation of his breeding program, he kept an eye out for a single characteristic that told the dogs' genetic histories as accurately as any DNA test -- the unique McNab working style.

To Randal Walker, a rancher and stock dog trainer out of Toppenish, Washington, “cow dogs” are border collies, not all border collies are cow dogs, a fearful dog is certainly not a cow dog, and while it might tell you something about its character, a cow dog is not necessarily required to gather cattle from the Pacific Ocean.
