Expert Answer

Herding dog does not refer to one breed but a category, including German Shepherd, Scottish Shepherd, Border Collie, Shetland Sheepdog, Belgian Shepherd, and more. Each has its own personality, also shaped by environment and training, so it cannot be generalized.

However, herding dogs are generally intelligent, alert, and obedient, so they are relatively easy to train and can quickly learn and carry out the owner’s commands.
