Herding dogs need to be fast-movers to effectively control and manage livestock, as they often must quickly respond to the movements of animals in unpredictable environments. Their speed allows them to chase down strays, navigate rough terrain, and position themselves strategically to guide herds. Additionally, being agile helps them avoid potential dangers and obstacles, ensuring both the safety of the animals and their own. Speed complements their intelligence and training, making them efficient at herding tasks.
