What really makes herding dogs tick

To truly understand our herding dogs, it is essential to recognize their predispositions. This requires a nuanced assessment of their character, moving away from dusty prejudices, blanket beliefs, and outdated views. A balanced perspective and appropriate expertise are the prerequisites that facilitate the interaction with our four-legged partners. Herbert Sehner offers a surprisingly different perspective on our herding dogs. He provides the viewpoint of an experienced practitioner who has been handling and breeding herding dogs for decades. He addresses pressing questions regarding herding and protection dog traits, exercise needs, temperament, and genetic heritage. Is your herding dog a thinker, a sensitive soul, or a doer? What fields is he truly suited for? What makes him happy and successful - and in turn, you as well?.
