Not to sure about shed finders but a real gd dog for the family and kids if brought up from a pup . My buddy has one just a big sweetheart they have to keep her in the house in the mornings because she was always herding the kid,s back from the road when they wait for the bus she,s pushing or pulling them back to the house. She,s only doing what she was told she herds cattle/horse,s etc but has a dislike to strange dogs and will not listen to any one if the coyotes come up near the house.Other then that the kid,s help train her so she will listen to any one in the family they also like room to run/roam just depends how they are trained and treated.
