Herding Group Dog Breeds

32 dog breeds match. Dog breeds the American Kennel Club places in its Herding Group, listed alphabetically, each linked to its registry entry.

How this list is decided

Membership is the AKC's own classification, taken verbatim from each breed's AKC entry. Registry groups are NOT interchangeable between organisations — the FCI classifies the same dogs into ten numbered groups on a different basis, and a breed in the AKC's Herding Group may sit in a differently-named FCI group. This page reports one registry's view and says whose it is.

This is a category, not a recommendation. Members are listed alphabetically and nothing here is ranked or scored. Breed tendencies describe what a registry records about a breed — not what any individual dog will be like. Spend time with a specific animal before deciding.

In this group

Every profile carries registry-sourced measurements and recognition, each linked to the registry that published it. Breed tendencies are not guarantees — individual animals vary by genetics, training, socialisation, health, and household environment. Spend time with a specific dog before deciding.
