<<I however am one of those that do get irritated when someone calls a border collie a LGD. They are a herding dog not a LGD. If left alone with livestock their natural instincts could hurt or kill the livestock.>>
Big grin here... When I was a kid, my dad got a border collie puppy from a working gyp he'd seen and much admired. We had a few sheep, but he really hadn't planned on having the puppy as more than a pet.
Not too long after we got the puppy, Dad noticed the sheep were getting a bit "poorly." The grass was good, but they were losing weight badly.
Turns out the puppy was keeping them penned under the barn every time she had a chance... But we liked the puppy more than we liked the sheep, so they went to a, shall we say, "cooler climate"...
