The cattle dog (the female cattle dog for females) is a type of dog, grouping several breeds. The term cattle dog used with respect to a dog meant that it kept herds of cattle (generally cows alongside their owners themselves called cattle dogs). Today the term is rarely used to express this function, and it appears mainly to designate certain types of dogs grouped in section 2 of group 1 according to FCI nomenclature.
