These dogs are known for their versatility and loyalty, and are used for herding sheep, goats and cattle. They’re called Headers because they will go to the head of the livestock and turn and drive them. The New Zealand Heading Dog has a muscular and agile body, with a short, smooth coat that can come in a variety of colors. They have high energy levels and are highly obedient, making them a popular choice for working on farms and ranches. Their intelligence and quick thinking make them excellent problem solvers and independent workers. The Heading Dog is a breed that uses its natural instincts and intelligence to silently move around a flock of animals and bring them back to their handler. The Heading Dog doesn’t bark to control livestock movement like the Huntaway. They’re highly trainable and responsive, so they’re great for precision work. In enclosed spaces, such as yards or pens, they’re great because they’re quiet and efficient.
