What is the best ranch dog breed that has prey drive normal-high and can hunt on the side?

I guess it depends on the ranch and the rancher. In a round about way most dogs actually have "ranch dog" origins, most dogs exist as a solution to managing a plot of land and the livestock therein, in one way or another. Sometimes pest control was deemed the highest priority, other times protecting the livestock, other times moving the livestock, other times supplementing "the larder" with hunting or whatever. Dogs exist to facilitate man living more comfortably off the land.
It seems "curs" in particular are ranch dogs trying to answer a lot of questions. Herding and hunting both for food and pest control. In australia obviously we have the heelers (blue, red and stumpy tail) and the kelpie. Herding dogs that also hunt on the side. Staghounds and bull arabs are essentially ranch dogs as well, they just have an emphasis on hunting.

Staghounds and bull arabs are essentially ranch dogs as well, they just have an emphasis on hunting. Yep. I was thinking German Shepherd but those that live in ranches just live with them and don’t actually assist in moving livestock. Many people say “oh, German Shepherds have been bred for herding forever, blah blah blah” but not in the last 50 years or more. And they were ever a great/efficient herding dog? No. Thats not to say I dislike them, that couldn’t be farther from the truth, but herding isn’t really their thing nowadays. I also hear a lot about them attacking livestock. Every herding dog does but German Shepherds on forums and through what people and my own experiences, (bolushi, i can send you video evidence) they do turn on livestock. The Idaho Shag is a mix of Airedale and Border Collie, to supposedly make a grittier dog, yet their look and their working style just generally don’t interest me. McNabs are pieces of dogshit. So I think you are right. |

What do you think of a Border Collie, German Shepherd or a Black Mouth Cur as a hunting/herding dog ranch dog? Even though hunting and herding is the same thing. |
