Herding Group Purebred
Dog Breed Information


The Herding Group is the newest AKC dog group. It was created in

1983 and its members were formerly members of the Working Group.

This group contains some of the most ancient dog breeds and is also quite diverse.

Bred for stamina, these herding dog breeds work with their masters all day long out in the fields with the flocks and are trained to take verbal commands from a distance.

The super intelligent herding dog breeds were bred primarily to help man drive livestock and to keep them all under control, with or without human supervision.

These dog breeds were created to work side by side with man as drovers (driving cattle and sheep) and also as herders (to keep the flock under control). Without the aid of the herding dog breeds the great agricultural lands all over the world may never have been settled as we know them today.

Overall, these intelligent herding dog breeds make excellent pets and respond beautifully to many different kinds of training such as agility, search and rescue and obedience.

This dog breed directory is designed to present you information about some of these different herding dog breeds, and to also help you choose the best type of purebred dog for you. Feel free to browse around for your perfect canine friend.
