Any dog that is used for herding cattle..The Australian Cattle dog is likely the most used for this, also know as the Queensland heeler..Also, Border collies, McNabb collies, and Australian Shepherds (better for sheep)
The Rottweiler was originally a cattle herding dog..
My uncle used to train mostly Border collies and McNabbs for cow dogs.
at the cattle auction yards, I see way more Australian Cattle dogs being used than any other breed..

I would like to add that we had a German Shepherd that was an excellent cow dog. I would guess any kind of Shepherd dog has the potential of being a good cow dog. I even saw a tiny little terrier of some kind haul after some bulls. I guess you could train just about any kind of dog.

The text below in quotes comes from:
http://www.workingcowdog.com/working_cowdogs.htm
"Across North America there is a need for dogs to handle different types of cattle in many conditions, climates and terrains. From the cattlemen in the south, southeast, mid-west, west, pacific northwest and Canada, various lines of Working Cow Dogs have emerged. These dogs come from a variety of working stock dog breeds - Border Collie, Australian Working Collie, Australian Cattle Dog, Australian Working Kelpie, Catahoula, Black Mouth Cur, Australian Shepherd and more.
As these breeders (mostly working cattlemen) strive for their model of excellence, you will find purebred dogs of certain lineages, while other dogs will be from specialized crosses. Though these dogs, medium to large in size, will come in many different body types, coats and colors, all are bred with the intent of producing a strong dog with the conformation, herding instinct, work, grit, bite and stamina to handle all classes of cattle.
Working Cow Dogs save many man hours, reduce stress, weight loss, and are an invaluable tool to the cattleman. Whether ranch-broke or professionally trained, these dogs are an integral part of the cattle industry."

She appears like she could have a perforated lung. the backside of the rib cage could have caught the kick and a rib might have cracked or broken and long gone into the lung. considering the fact that she's no longer coughing up blood the wear must be in basic terms slowly bleeding yet she would possibly no longer make it interior the process the night. She needs interest to nicely known in basic terms what is going on. She ought to die from this previously morning. tell your mom and dad that.

Border collies, border terriers, bull terriers and most herding breeds.The bull terrier will actually go face to face with a steer and nip at its nose to get it to back off and get back with the herd.
