They are used for collecting the sheep, and that is a pretty difficult task, but they are good in their job.

Tryggur and Hansi have been competing in a sheepdog competition were they won their class. In this  competitions the dog is supposed to bring three sheep to the owner, and then take them away from him again. Then he should make the sheep pass trough a gait, and keep them inside a circle marked on the ground. In the end the dog should bring the sheep into an enclosure. All dogs are not able to do all these tasks, and it also varies how well the dog is listening to what his owner tells him to do.
