[QUOTE="bambi_boy, post: 523192, member: 8052"] I raise a herding breed called the Belgian Malinois & Belgian Sheepdog. The one reason that I don't herd cattle with them is the fact that they are a taller breed, and a cow kick can do serious damage. So.. if you are wating a working dogs, with cattle, then I sugguest the smaller herding dogs. The one problem that people with smaller kids have when they own a herding dog is that the dog will herd the kids, and when they won't move they get the typical herding dog action to get the stock to move, which is to nip the heel of the stock. While stock don't like this, MOMMA's of small kids REALLY don't like this behavior! Every AKC breed has a breed club, and a rescue system. Here are some starting points I suggest in your quest. American Sheltand Sheepdog Association [url]http://www.assa.org/[/url] Australian Shepherd Club of America [url]http://www.asca.org/[/url] Border Collie [url]http://www.bordercollie.org/[/url] My personal favorite small herding breed, the Corgi.
