Thread: Photos of your dog

had same discussion with RUMPY the other day walking off the hill.
for me a heading dog is a job discription just like huntaway or pig dog.....
the breeeding of said dog isnt as important as how it preforms the task its asked to do.
heading dogs have natural tendency that has been bred to improve....go get stock and bring it back to the boss.... classic is to get young pup in a small paddock with sheep,go stand in middle of paddock and say nothing unless dog goes to bite...it will all of its own accord,without knowing why round up all the sheep and bring them towards you and keep doing so. also called a strong eyed sheep dog...it eyeballs the sheep till they go away in desired direction,towards the boss man.
along similar vein get in behind a mob of sheep with young huntaway pup and rush towards them shouting and clapping and pup will run up and start barking and continue to do so..its job discription is to hunt the stock away..bark at them to make them move,usually away from you .
good looking pup whatever its genetics
