Sounds like a creepy movie huh?
I was researching BC and came across this term....giving "the eye"..
Like the dog freezes and stares at the livestock and then stalks closer to it (am I understanding that correctly)
Emma...my mystery mutt...does this. She will herd my Cockatoo and will herd the chickens....she gives them "the eye" until they move...then she directs them where she wants them...she never hurts them.
she does that slow stalking stuff too. Especially when the animal isn't looking.
Do other herding breeds display this behavior? Im very intriqued by this as no one so far has been able to venture a guess on my dogs breeds based on looks, so i'm turning to behavior....lol!
Aside from this issues with freeshaping this dog has been a dream to train. I often joke that she speaks english. Eager and intelligent, drivey too.
This is Emma..shes "corgi sized" lol
