Yup, it’s in the genes. The funniest thing was when we went visiting friends with border collies with OUR border collie, and watching the two young host collies trying to herd our much senior BC who was having NO part of it. If you’ve ever seen a dog look disgusted you know the look.
If you have a BC you had better give it something to heard. If you don’t they’ll find something themselves…..and you won’t like it. They need a job, just to keep the pet parent happy.
I had a German Shepherd who was 10 years old when he saw his first flock of cows. He immediately left us and bounded towards them then herded them towards us. They weren’t used to that treatment and complained—-but went. When he got them to where we were, he turned and looked at us as if to say, well I got them here, what do you want them for?

That reminds me of the border collies at our local dog park. They’re always trying to herd up the other dogs, who generally don’t cooperate.

Looks like there is going to be a collision in panel 2.
