aussie-border collie mix

Question
We are getting a puppy, liked your answer about herding chickens and plan to train for that. Also wondering if this breed can be trained to bird hunt? Trying to think of things we already do to help keep her working and busy.

Answer
Generally, herding dogs would rather herd birds than hunt them.  Things to keep an Aussie or BC busy...
