[QUOTE="Farm Family, post: 1819927, member: 43070"] That is a huge range. I understand that average is about 600-700 acres as being a core range with about 2 km of roam from the core range in large territory regions. A core range refers to the space the herd and or dog spends 50% of its time. This is a natural tendency in canine species. I know our LGD has stronger bonds with some cattle than others and she tends to stay close to them…she is an extension of the herd. When pups bond early they learn safety and companionship in the herd. This is part of that bonding which is crucial. So I imagine even in a huge range like you mention the dog would follow the main herd or the specific divisions of the herd most bonded to. [/QUOTE]
