What activities do BSD like?
These dogs are herding dogs. Dogs can herd other animals in a variety of ways. Some breeds typically nip at the animals’ heels, others get in front of the animals and use what is called “eye” to stare down the animals. All herding behavior is modified predatory behavior. Most herding breeds have physical characteristics that help them with their work, including speed and endurance. Due to their intelligence and beauty, herding dogs are often chosen as family pets. It is important to remember that these dogs have been bred to work, and must be kept active. Herding breeds will herd family members, particularly children, in the absence of other charges. They excel at obedience, tracking, agility, flyball, search and rescue and just about anything else a dog can do. Everything is a game to them and they love games!
