Before any of you say "Ye but the dogs backed off", listen to what he's saying

Fascinating video. Hard to watch the dogs getting slammed into the gates, though. I had to watch a few more similar ones after that as the whole herding thing is so interesting. Seeing the way a small predator can gain control over enormous cattle. The power of the eye, that determination and focus is amazing.

 

I just got the feeling if the dogs were bit harder and use there teeth more, say like a acd would , they control the cattle better , and prob the dogs not get so knocked about. Holding back like they are , is making the cattle domineer the dogs more , well that's how it looks to me. I rather have a acd or a gsd as herding dog, as both have more fire in them than your average border collie

 

 

 

Kelpies are meant to work well with cattle, seen a few videos on Facebook and they seem to pack a bit of fire, meant to be evil as guard dogs to

A growing number of cattle men in Australia are using kelpies as opposed to ACDs because of the "more respectful" way they work the cattle.

 

If you're in the business of producing cattle then you don't want them being constantly harassed and loosing condition. Some kelpies (and collies and ACDs) are able to "encourage" the cattle (or sheep for that matter) to move in a particular direction by subtle persuasion rather than brute force. However, as somebody mentioned above, you also need to educate the cattle to this method of work if they've been used to accepting a more direct approach. My current pup comes from a long line of cattle kelpies with about ten lines to one particularly renowned cattle working kelpie from the 80s.

Aye I'm of the thinking a bit is great, too much and ye may aswell have a saluki x lol

Had a pup recently with saluki in it, il never have saluki in a dog again. Had it 9 weeks and regimes it.

Well some folk get on with saluki like you get on I with collie. I think they both arse holes lol

i get on with a dog that wants to listen regardless of what's in it. I had a deer grey x collie grey, too look at it was a greyhound , temperament of a deerhound from what I could gather. Did everything in her own time, bit stubborn.

What are deerhound temps like Bill? Do they like doing this in their own time? Lol

Dont know how a thread on collie blood can drift once again to an attempt to undermine deerhounds..I rarely give any information on my dogs, or on the deerhound breed, but I will make this single exception, make the most of it, theyre will be no more..

I can only speak for the deerhounds that I had..Mine had great temps..and they did it in my time. I am a lurcherman who had a couple of deerhounds for a bit play around with and brought them up as lurchers, they killed rabbits by 10 months, they were coursing hares by 12-13 month, and were running in organised hare coursing events by 16 months..they slayed deer and completely inialated fox, they never jacked, quit, went in the huff or let me down. So temp wise, they were ok,

Even crosses off dogs of this calibre can be spoilt by putting the wrong dogs to them, thats why just a touch of collie works with them, stubborness I can assure you comes from the collie, not the deerhound, and as my learnered friend W Katchum states, the saluki would be just as bad.
