Miller is an intense herder who grips
often and uses dominance behaviors to control the livestock.
He stares down animals who do not obey his will. He runs
to check on the kid goats when one bleats out. The
does do not trust him as they do the other dogs and will chase
him out of the stall, he does not retaliate as he would if he
were herding them. It takes Miller several days to accept
new stock as pack members and strange dogs are not permitted
near the barn and particularly the kidding area. Miller
barks treed and is particularly adept at killing ferocious
critters. He hunts and kills rodents. He is a calm,
steady dog who announces the arrival of strangers and will let
anyone pet him after they have been accepted. He is a
delight with children and seeks their company. He wants to
please but sometimes fails to take direction when the action
gets exciting. He is opinionated on how to accomplish a
task, but once he learns the proper method, he is completely
dependable.
