Barking cow dogs

A friend of mine told me about a man that uses curs on cattle and that he has trained his curs to stop barking while continuing to work. I plan to try to see this because I find it very interesting. If he is able to do this, the next thing I want to learn is his method of training them to work in this fashion. According to my friend, this man is a good hand and spends a lot of time with his dogs on several large ranches which he manages.

I like both Curs and Border Collies on cattle and believe both types can be very useful in a variety of cattle handling situations. Of course, I think a person should use the type of dogs they like best.

Regarding dogs that are rough or strong enough to handle rank cattle, I have seen this kind of dog in both Cur and Border Collie type dogs.
