Herding
Strong herding instinct stems from the historical purpose of the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. Though bred to function as a draft dog, the Swissy was truly multi-purpose and was also used to manage livestock (primarily dairy cattle) in the mountains of their native Switzerland. Swissies demonstrate these abilities through herding trials with various types of livestock.
