You know there are a lot of cattle being monitored and herded by dogs,
there are only a couple of white breeds around here.
Although a aust cattle dog breed that shows her working dogs in
conformation told me "those cows don't care what color that dog is, they care
about
being bitten"
So actually the darker dogs would be undesirable on our Angus and
Herefords, and dairy cows but good for the Charlois? Or did I miss something
thinking herding means more than sheep, especially here in Oklahoma.

I know the issue on whites was explained to me-and made sense to me- that
GSDs are HERDING dogs, (and although we know they were actually bred to do
it all) and herding dogs are supposed to be multi. colors and or darker
colors, some sort of contrast in them to make them stand out from the sheep
vs. guardian breeds white are usually solid white to blend with them. Which
makes sense to me, so why should we change our standard for something that
conflicts the purpose of the dogs
