AKC Gazette Gallery • Herding Group 1983: The Originals

Before 1983, the breeds we now designated as in the Herding Group were in the Working Group and recognized as working breeds. They comprised a subgroup within the Working Group and were split off as a separate group because, among other reasons, it was considered that the Working Group was too large and unwieldy.
This slideshow salutes the charter members of the newly formed Herding Group of 1983: Australian Cattle Dog, Bearded Collie, Belgian Malinois, Belgian Sheepdog, Belgian Tervuren, Bouvier des Flandres, Briard, Cardigan Welsh Corgi, Collie, German Shepherd Dog, Old English Sheepdog, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Puli, and Shetland Sheepdog.
