And as is well known, Borders herd by nipping at heels.
Pretty sure you mean Aussies and Cattle Dogs herd by the nip. Border Collies herd using the "eye" and force of will. Want to see that in action, come visit me, lol. BCs will bite and hold the wool of sheep that do not respect the eye, but that's a last resort. BCs that are around children will circle. Typically, either clockwise ("come bye"), or counterwise ("away to me").
I have two BCs. Love the intelligence.
