Amazingly, they understand property boundaries as well as a surveyor. I was always astounded at the farm dogs I knew that would run up to the property line and bark at whatever, but not cross. They have an amazing sense for picking up territory cues from their owners. Head of security, bringer of cows at milking time, and announcer of arriving delivery trucks. No proper farm can do without.
