You are quite ignorant. Why do you think it’s called SHEPHERD? It means sheep-herd. GS were bred from shepherding dogs and meant for that. Unfortunately very early Max saw the writing on the wall that rural aspects were passing away while getting more technological, so he found other work for his new dogs. Or rather, fortunately. Otherwise the breed would be a footnote rather than quickly the most popular dog in the world for the longest time.

OK. You are right. The dogs I see on ranches herding sheep and cattle are little, black & white German Shepherds. Because that is what GSDs are famous for...herding!
