- LAC-Tech 4y agoThey wouldn't have given a hoot if a herding dog dies? Or if they're not companion animals or working, why are they there?
- literalAardvark 4y agoThey were guard and hunting dogs. Noisemakers, essentially. Herding was mostly done by people, often kids, and fences, though some neighbors did use herding dogs. I can understand how trained herding dogs can also be important, but it was certainly not my experience in the countryside.
