Herd dog
A herd dog , also known as herd working dog , is a domestic dog that is used as a working dog to work on herds . Its tasks are to protect the herd from enemies, to keep the herd together both on the pasture and when driving and to protect fields adjacent to the pasture from the animals of the herd. Specialized herd dogs are derived from these tasks: herd guard dogs , cattle dogs and herding dogs . As the shepherd's helper , the herd dog is called a shepherd dog , more often the shepherd dog is used synonymously for the guard dog.
In the FCI regulations, the term refers in particular to dogs that take part in international FCI events for herd dogs.
