[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 195497, member: 968"] "Generally" Border Collies are more hi-strung than Blue Heelers. I have NEVER had a heeler round up the cattle or work them when I wasn't around. (We've owned a heeler for the past 30+ years - on our 3rd one.) You basicly don't have to teach the dog how to work cattle, you have to teach the dog directions & down & come. We point right or left & he works them accordingly. If they get running, he will head them off & turn them. Never had one that would do that. He learned because we would run to the front & head them off, so he just picked up on that & does it by hisself. Great dog. Worth a thousand steps. When doing the same thing, he'll even BRING the cattle TO you & put them thru a gate. This is usually show cattle that are brought in daily. But remember, a cattle dog knows the cattle but most important - the cattle know the cattle dog. PS - Caustic - that was hilarious :D I couldn't take my dog to someone else's herd with poor fencing & not expect cattle to go thru fences. [/QUOTE]
