LIVESTOCK GUARDING DOGS

These breeds have been bred to have an instinctive desire to defend and protect livestock, or control them. Selective human breeding has reduced their hunting instincts while encouraging their defensive and protective instincts, making them both brave and fearless while guarding and agile as they herd the animals in their charge.

The following breeds were bred to guard their owner's animals (which the dogs regard as their own pack to be defended from a variety of different dangers, both human and animal).
