The reason why Border Collie can herd sheep is partly from instinct and partly from learning. Generally, when a Border Collie is a child, he will follow other adult Border Collies out and watch them at work. Over time, they will learn these skills. , if they don’t learn from an early age, they won’t be able to shepherd sheep based on instinct alone.

Tip:

Most of today's Border Collies are raised as companion dogs. They do not need to learn shepherding skills, but parents also need to train them more to make them more obedient.
