Why are sheep dogs so important to Australia and New Zealand?
New Zealand is full of remarkably steep, rugged terrain which cannot be accessed by a horse-rider. Sheep dogs, acting under instructions from their masters and their own instincts, muster sheep, ensuring none stray from the edges, and this requires them to be able to run back and forth around the edges of the mob. Sheep can easily fall into mountain crevices, and the dogs are needed to both try and prevent this or to point out to a farmer when a sheep has gone down a hole. Sure-footedness in mountainous country is a necessity, and achieved only by nimble dogs with great endurance - far better than a man and a horse. In Australia, there is far less such rocky, rugged terrain, except in the High country. However, the vast size of paddocks on sheepstations and the need to herd the mobs of sheep tightly, mean that it is too difficult for men on horses to keep the sheep together. Again, sheep dogs in Australia are bred for endurance, and they work with sheep and cattle station owners to herd livestock, keeping the mobs together, and rounding up the sheep for shearing.
