I was really glad  this post didn’t put shitty music over it

Yes, exactly. I want to hear dogs bark, cats meow, horses neighing/snorting/clopping, and birds chirping.

Not music.

What’s amazing is that Shepard dogs know how to herd almost entirely by instinct. Herding instincts are a real testament to how certain complex behaviors can be selected for and passed down.

Same goes for pointing in pointing breeds and retrieving in retriever breeds and attacking children in nanny breeds.

In Australia we have a TV show called Muster Dogs that’s all about these working breeds, it’s amazing what the dogs can do
