Downtown Shell Knob MO Come Visit! | They are all different, but most border collies are either "very well manored" (seem to be the type the show trainers like because the dogs only job is to be a remote controlled robot" or they are the type that just love livestock, the nice thing is usually a good border collie that everyone calls "hard headed" has cattle sense but can still be a good listener. When people call other cattle dogs "gritty or hard headed" it usually just means they chase cows and don't listen.
Most of or dogs are not trained and only listen when they want to, but every good dog we have ever had all have one thing in common, they are very good at adjusting temper to the situation or animal. If you yelled at grizzly a million times to bite a baby calf he would never do it but instead roll his ears back and poke it with his nose very gently. But if a couple bulls are fighting and your trying to seperate them, he will get in the middle and bloody both of them before you know it. And don't dare jokingly yell help if your standing beside a cow |
