They come with it, but it's not very refined without training. They actually need a lot of training to not herd people, especially children. Since humans don't respond the same way as sheep the dog will keep escalating its herding behavior until it bites the human.

I heard an anecdote once of a couple that was camping in a dispersed area with their border collie and the dog ran away. They called and searched and were basically resigned to the loss of their dog, when at dusk they heard a huge commotion. Suddenly their dog drove an entire herd of elk through the campsite.

My parents had a similar experience while hiking in the UK - the dog disappeared around a bend ahead of them and then returned herding some sheep she had found. She had never seen a sheep before, but she sure as hell knew what she was meant to do with them.

I laughed out loud for this.
