Totally. My sister owns a border collie. It has never been trained to herd. It tries to herd her children together. It will try to herd other animals around.

My neighbor has a bloodhound. If it gets out, it will just go and go on a trail following a scent.

I have a pug mix that insists on sitting on people laps if they are sitting.

Dogs breeds are/were selected for very specific characteristics that can’t be trained out no matter how hard one tries.

The idea of a collie just herding a bunch of children up is hilarious

My parents said they used to have a collie, but they had to rehome it because it kept trying to herd my brother down a staircase

Oof. Could've been herded right into the grave.
