Well gosh, I live on 120ac working cattle ranch. My dogs are reasonably
well angulated, decent strides, they don't go out with cattle. We work cattle
with a bucket and 4 wheeler. Sometimes "function" doesn't always mean they
still do their original intent, it may mean the still "could" do the
original intent. Mine are really good trackers too, they can track a dog
biscuit
as well as any blood hound-I don't want them in hound group either. I
simply wanted to shed some light on the fact we have Herding dogs, and not
working dogs. They can do bite work, tracking, agility, S/R, herding,
obedience,
rally agility therapy, just anything really but they are a herding dog,
and a fine one at that.
Didn't mean to stir up stuff

Well sure...but you have that difference in Germany too. I remember
when
Wynn was importing dogs; they were primarily from their herding lines.
Lovely & easy to finish here in the AB ring. You'd have to ask Jim how
many he
finished for her. Even then they had a stockier, "straighter" in front
and rear dog, less neck (later the roach, now not as bad) for SCH work.
The
way it was explained to me was that there aren't as many big sheep farms
in
Germany as there once were and between being used for the wars and later
sporting events like SCH, the dog evolved.
