[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 942541, member: 14661"] What does she need to improve on? If she'll gather cattle and put them away for you then you're pretty well set. For me, the most important thing a dog can do is flank cattle and hold that ground. I can gather cattle by myself, I can push cattle by myself, but I can't push the cattle that I have gathered by myself without the risk of losing all my cattle since I have a number of places where the lead cow can simply walk off the road and turn back and I'd kill a horse trying to get ahead of them... REAL handy to have a dog that knows that spot in the road that can "come by" ahead of time and and keep them pointed downhill. [/QUOTE]
