Thank you very much. Yes, I believe so, like all herding dogs.

To answer the question of smart. We had an Australian Cattle dog at our golf course. She knew the difference between a goose (bad) and a duck (good). She chased the geese away and never disturbed the ducks. She never barked and never chased a ball. Every now and then she would want to go after a chipmunk, but she controlled herself. Her name was Sydney. Best golf course dog ever!!!

When we lived in the Gallatin Valley in Montana, there were cattle drives every spring, moving the dogies out to fresh pastures. Inevitably, some cows would opt for a different pasture en route. But these drives always involved these Australian Blue Heelers, and one dog would calculate where an errant cow would be going and head it off. That cow did not want an encounter with the dog, and would hurry to rejoin the herd. Those dogs could nip!

The herding dogs are my favorites, top among them for me is the Border collie.
