[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 40366"] Do you ever get to watch the stock dog competitions on t.v? Seems we have one channel that is all about dogs. I've seen border collies get control over cattle with their strong eye and an occaisional nip - the huntaway or kelpie (forget what it was called) wasn't getting anywhere with it's barking method. When it finally ran in to nip, it wasn't quick enough and got hurt. I guess it depends on how the cows are trained. My brother brought his ACD to visit, from the city. She'd never seen cows before but she had enough breed character to dominate the cows quickly with her agressive barking and quick teeth. My dog is a Chesapeake Retriever x German Shepheard, he will actually head and heal believe it or not but he hasn't the desire to dominate the cattle. He has one cow that is a good friend of his. But if a bull calf shakes his head at me, or a cow starts to make the fence squeal trying to climb over, he becomes very fierce. I taught him not to chase the horses when they run, by a couple lucky rock throws when he was younger. [/QUOTE]
