We got a purebred Aussie sheepdog (kelpie) that failed its tests at a year old. They were going to shoot her, so she became our family pet.
She was obsessed with rounding things up - cats, ducks, kids, you name it.
Part of her dna for sure.
If she was tested (for shepherding?) it sounds like she was probably trained...
Sheep dogs will herd instinctively. Just not as effectively as those with training.
Cute breed. I saw one at the dog park this weekend. The most energetic one!
