I grew up around sheep and cattle dogs pretty much my whole life because my dad trained them for people, worked them as a hobby , and just used them on gathering and moving our own cattle or sheep. He always kept and trained border collies, hanging tree cow dogs , or a kelpy. I never even heard of anybody using bmc on cattle till I started hog hunting with dogs about 4 or 5 months ago. It seems that it comes natural for these dogs to bay not herd and drive. But like I said I was never around any. Do any of you actually have bmc that will drive and herd cattle and lot them by working off your commands just like a collie would do? I'm just cuious. I just thought it was odd that all these years I never even heard him or any of the guys he worked dogs with even mention a cur.
