farm dog
Herds the sheep
A farm dog is a dog kept on a farm, typically serving working purposes rather than just companionship.
Farm dogs may herd livestock, guard property, control vermin, or perform other practical tasks: The farm dog rounded up the sheep at dusk.
The term sometimes carries rustic or unpedigreed connotations, contrasting with show dogs or pampered pets.
