Ok, a very naive question here... my GSD loves to push around a big plastic ball with his snout all over the yard. Is he exercising his herding instinct?
Thanks.

As menetioned your dog is not necessarily showing herding 'instinct' but it's prey/ball drive. However,when one is herding you are drawing on a dogs prey drive.
