The Best Herding Balls

Herding ballsMany dog breeds are natural herders and benefit from having Herding Balls to hand. These dogs tend to be very smart and highly energetic  having evolved over centuries.

They picked up their herding habits from watching over sheep, cattle and a variety of other farm animals.

Early herding dogs developed from guardian dogs and became popular with European shepherds who bred them so they eventually became common throughout the continent in the 17th century, especially in Britain, Belgium, Germany and northern France.

Today, herding dogs can be found worldwide and are as common as family dogs as they were when they were coveted farm companions.

Intelligent and hard working they need to be kept active and so herding balls are essential when you have a breed like the German Shepherd or a Rough Collie Lassie lookalike as part of your household.

These herding balls were specially designed to take into account herding instincts and so they are a fantastic addition to any herding breed’s toy box.

Check out the CDPOM guide to help you choose the very best dog herding ball for your dog.
