Duck Herding
Duck herding is a skillful activity where trained dogs, often Border Collies, guide and manage a group of ducks. Handlers use commands and body language to direct the dogs, which in turn move the ducks to specific locations, such as a pen or a designated area. This practice is commonly seen in agricultural settings and is also a popular demonstration at fairs and events.
The process requires teamwork between the handler and the dog, as well as an understanding of the ducks' behavior. Duck herding showcases the intelligence and agility of the dogs while highlighting traditional farming techniques.
