[QUOTE="FLJoe, post: 44843, member: 282"] Top 3 dogs not to work cattle with. I know this because we own all three... 3. Golden Retrievers - They might be great at fetching ducks and the paper, but mine is clueless around livestock. He has a bad habit of running up on my horses behind for no reason at all, and enjoys running the fenceline at my weanling calves much to their mamas displeasure. Absolutelly no horse/cow sense. 2. Jack Russel Terriers - They are football shaped for a reason! My bitch is 10 and hasn't slowed much. She we still chase both horses & cows for no apparent reason and with no thought. Fortunately, she still has the dexterity to duck under the kicks they throw her way. All braun, no brains. However, unlike my retriever, who truly wants to play with the calves, she prefers to bite them on the nose. 1. Chihuahuas - Obviously size and attitude are a factor here. Paco also thinks its fun to chase calves along the fenceline. However, what makes him the worst candidate for such a job is that he likes to roll in fresh cow patties and then sleep on the couch... For these reasons, my dogs are not in the pasture unless somebody goofed. Fortunately, I have such a small herd that a feed bucket will do. I also have a mule as back up. [/QUOTE]
