Herding dogs

Sheep dogs have a tendency to display herding behaviours as their herding instinct, as they have a tendency to herd other small animals and children, without proper training, this behaviour could become problematic. Herding is a behaviour that animals display to bring a group of animals together and to move and maintain the group. Herding may be have been of benefit in the wild as wolves and wild dogs hunt in packs, herding and chasing an animal to cut off their escape route. This behaviour may allow more prey to be captured and consumed thus increases dogs’ ability to survive in the wild by increasing their energy intake per day. Humans could have breed sheep dogs for this behaviour as they are required to herd large groups of animals. To get the traits needed for the sheep dogs, humans will have to breed for a selected trait as the breed the dogs with more favourable traits with each other and discard the ones that do not. The act of selective breeding will accelerate the speed of evolution in the dogs, causing a rise of a new dog breed in only a few generations. The traits breeders select for in sheep dog would be the display of herding behaviours as it is useful in farm works and herding animals. Adrenalin plays a big role in the display of this behaviour in sheep dogs as the hormone increases the dog’s play and prey drive, the play and prey drive is what causes the herding behaviours in dogs. Training is required to control the herding behaviours in sheep dog as it would…

Dogs Decoded The relationship between dog and man is one of the sole reasons that humans have been allowed to develop the civilizations that exist today. Dogs and humans have formed an ideal bond because of their understanding between one another as well as the common behaviors they have. Owners of pet dogs claim that their animal knows how they are feeling. This claim is put to the test by examining the process by which a dog examines a human’s face. Humans view the left side of another…

According to Barkpost, 1.4 million dogs are put to sleep every year by animal shelters. 40% of that 1.4 million, which is approximately half a million, are pit bulls. Pitbulls are given a bad reputation by the media because they only cover the “important” part of the news. A majority of them are just puppies at heart that care for their owner. Although pit bulls are seen as “dangerous” dogs, many factors come into play when it comes to pit bulls or just dogs in general. It depends on how the…

Personal Experience with Dogs As far back as I can remember, my family has always had a Dog. The bond between a dog and human being is typically very strong, even stronger when the human in question is a child. The dog must be able to sense that this tiny human has some special value. Perhaps it could also be that a child is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum between a human adult and a toy. The dog can’t quite figure out if it should listen to it or play with it. Whatever the reason may…

This type of irresponsible breeding also leads to the local shelters that are crowded with unwanted dogs. When a dog or puppy is adopted from a shelter, the shelter ensures the dog leaves their facility spayed or neutered. If the dog is not the appropriate age to undergo surgery then this is agreed upon through the adoption contract between the owner and shelter. This procedure should be implemented among all shelters, rescue centers and pet stores. There is no need for anyone other than a…
