What is a Working Cow Dog?
Across North America there is a need for dogs to handle different types of cattle in many conditions, climates and terrains. From the cattlemen in the south, southeast, mid-west, west, pacific northwest and Canada, various lines of Working Cow Dogs have emerged. These dogs come from a variety of working stock dog breeds - Border Collie, Australian Working Collie, Australian Cattle Dog, Australian Working Kelpie, Catahoula, Black Mouth Cur, Australian Shepherd and more.
As these breeders (mostly working cattlemen) strive for their model of excellence, you will find purebred dogs of certain lineages, while other dogs will be from specialized crosses. Though these dogs, medium to large in size, will come in many different body types, coats and colors, all are bred with the intent of producing a strong dog with the conformation, herding instinct, work, grit, bite and stamina to handle all classes of cattle.
Working Cow Dogs save many man hours, reduce stress, weight loss, and are an invaluable tool to the cattleman. Whether ranch-broke or professionally trained, these dogs are an integral part of the cattle industry.
**Please note - These dogs do not make suitable pets, hobby dogs; nor are these the
type of dogs bred for the goat or sheep industry, or for protection work.**
