    Do you think herding dogs are taught to herd? Genetics absolutely influence behavior lol

      They can all herd, just some that are a better size and speed for it. If the sheep were guinea pig sized we'd be using miniature dogs for it and calling them "herding breeds".

        Okay good luck training your herding pug. Maybe next you can raise a wolf pup as your family dog.

            Okay but I'm arguing that herding dogs will do that instinctively, while those pugs were definitely taught. https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/advice/why-does-my-dog-herd-my-kids/
