Do all herding breeds do this?

Not mouthy but.....

My collies not only butt nip they will also poke you with their nose to move you around,and my male will grab my leg with his leg to move me as well,especially if playing.The "silent,got you before you know it" butt poke is the favourite around this house!cariboodogs(BC,Canada)

I had an Australian Cattle Dog X Pit Bull named Buddy and he did all of those things, so I guess it is a herding breed thing

My aussie will bite if she is over the top excited and is chasing something that moves fast--but she'll never get your heels . In typical aussie form, if she's excited enough to nip, she's bouncing and she'll either get your cheek, the side of your boob or your shoulder.:yikes: Luckily it's more likely to be an open mouth bop than a nip. If she's excited she might also bounce straight up in the air and bop your nose if you're standing still

My Aussie, Khaki, does the same thing.....gets excited, starts jumping, teeth catch's the side of my face or my nose.
