cattle dog
Ranch working canine
A cattle dog is a dog bred or trained to herd cattle, typically by nipping at their heels or circling to move them.
The Australian cattle dog is the breed most associated with the term—a compact, alert working dog developed for driving cattle across rough terrain.
The cattle dog kept the herd moving toward the gate.
