True partners for livestock farmers, herding dogs play an essential role in managing animals on pasture. Thanks to their instinct, intelligence, and close bond with humans, they facilitate the movement, supervision, and safety of herds, whether cattle, sheep, or goats. Their role extends far beyond practical assistance: they embody ancestral knowledge and a unique relationship between the farmer and their dog. At the Sommet de l'Élevage, herding dog demonstrations offer the opportunity to discover these indispensable helpers, highlight their training, and emphasize the importance of their contribution to modern, efficient, and animal-friendly farming.
