Why are they called sheepdogs?
A sheep dog or sheepdog is generally a dog or breed of dogs historically used in connection with the raising of sheep. These include livestock guardian dogs used to guard sheep and other livestock and herding dogs used to move, manage and control sheep and other livestock.
Why do sheepdogs herd sheep?
As the name suggests, herding breeds were developed to gather, herd, and protect livestock such as sheep or cattle. That shared heritage means they all have the instinctive skill and drive to control the movement of other animals.
Joyce Country Sheepdogs, located in Shanafaraghaun in the Connemara region of Galway, provide fascinating and fun sheepdog demonstrations for visitors.
