paul sr 688 Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 You cant blame the farmer for being upset at the loss of his sheep but there are a lot of irresponsible dog owners out there. If there are 1 or 2 donkeys with the sheep they will protect the sheep from the dogs the same way a llama would. Quote Link to post
jetro 5,349 Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 They sound like real handy dogs rabid. Would like to see them working sheep. As you said it's down to the owner of the dog at the end of the day. But it's the dog that's pays the ultimate price for their laziness or lack of understanding. Atb j Where you from ? Yes mate they are real handy, keep me on my toes though, they can quickly switch from been a good Shepherding dog to a killer, fortunately our sheep are dog trained and play by the book, but you still have to be 100% on the ball with them at all times. Multi purpose dog, good around the yard as a presence, they know who is allowed in, and are wary of strangers so guard real well, they pick fur up under the lamp, (took a while to teach them recall when lamp goes off). And during the day they herd sheep and cattle if required, in between they sleep on the sofa alongside us, a proper part of the family. lm in Ireland. They sound like an ideal dog. Fit for every purpose and task. Not many can say that.At j. 2 Quote Link to post
