Ranchers swear loyalty to the breed.

Naw! When I downsize it is going to be an Australian Cattle Dog. They are nothing but miniature German Shepherds with a different herding style and a dappled coat.

They are tough dogs to train and need tons of exercise. They make German Shepherds look lazy.

I read the article. This breed sounds like a nice mox of good breeds. Let's hope people don't get stupid and try adding Pits to the pot to toughen them up.

If I had space to work them- I'd want them too! They've just joined the list.
I've never heard of German Shepherds being used to herd cattle. Was that their original function?

Yes, they are a herding breed. That is their original purpose. Sheep and cattle.

Are they still used for that in Germany or anywhere else, or did their guarding function take precedence?
