The nature of the interactions between sheep and the dog takes a special form of competition which is different to the traditional prey-predator interactions where the success of prey depends on the failure of the predator and vice versa. In consequent, the development of an appropriate objective function to efficiently co-evolve successful sheepdog herding behaviors becomes challenging. This paper presents a framework to efficiently co-evolve sheepdog herding behaviors utilizing the simple rule based agent approach in order to derive high fidelity behavior dynamics and discusses the challenges involved in the process.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;article-ftr&quot; style=&quot;padding-top: 4px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24.012800216674805px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
