Will Border Collies Kill Sheep. Border collies retain the circling and gathering instinct so vital in hunting wolf packs but refrain from actually going in and making the final “kill”. If the kill instinct is dominant, then the dog has a tendency to chase a sheep and pull it to the ground, sometimes biting and harming the sheep. Stick to channeling their energy. Even with great breeding and training, an overexcited border collie can be known to kill one of the sheep he is meant to protect. The internet has been awed by the incredible teamwork shown by two border collies who expertly herded sheep in. Introduce your border collie to sheep in a controlled and safe environment.

She has killed several of our chickens, a kitten, attacked our sheep and even our full grown dairy cow. Border collies have a strong predatory instinct, and it’s this drive that makes them ideal for herding sheep. Start by allowing your dog to observe the sheep from a distance, gradually decreasing the distance over time. We are figuring that she is untrainable.
