I understand what CJxDanielle is saying too. I have a lot of friends with working Australian Shepards. They often talk about the differences between the "show" dog and the "working" dog. Sometimes, it is not that the "show" dog can't work because the standard has changed so much, but because it "won't" work. Herding is a natural instinct of these dogs, but the desire to work is also a trait strictly bred into working lines.
