The Border Collie is a working and herding dog breeddeveloped in the Anglo-Scottish border region.
Yes, the Border Collie is classified in the AKC Herding Group.
Collies are excellent herding dogs because it comes natural to them. The breed is descended from generations of hard working herding dogs. The Collie was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1885.
They were bred for herding cattle.
Border Collies are in the herding group.
Many of the sporting and herding breeds are very sensitive and responsive to their owners. Among the more famously sensitive breeds are the Cocker Spaniel (both English and American), Golden Retriever, Collie, Welsh Springer Spaniel, Border Collie, and Poodle.
I had a border collie as a kid. My Dad picked the most quiet one, but not so shy it did not come to him. I imagine collies have to be quiet sometimes so not to scare any animals they are herding. They are working animals.
A collie is a distinctive type of herding dog, ultimately originating in Britain, especially in the upland areas of the north and west.
I would say that a collie is better, since a black mouth cur was bred as a multi-purpose dog rather than a herding dog.

I'd say their working ability is pretty close to unique. Few breeds can compete with their herding and agility skills, and their all around intelligence.
