The Use of Dogs in Sheepherding in North and South America
On the American continent the use of dogs in sheepherding is ancient but has evolved variably depending on regions and periods. In more recent years the problem was centered in the United States on finding a safe, cheap and ecological way of containing coyotes. Today a new type of guard dog is used to watch over and protect flocks in fenced off sheep-ranges. In the La Plata region in South America sheepdogs were introduced quite early — late 18th century — to herd alone sheep and goats all over the range and especially in the vicinity of the farms.
