Sheep
My
flock began with speckled face bottle lambs and a
then I have tried several different breeds of
sheep: Polypays, Hampshires,
Finn, Corridale,
LIVESTOCK GUARD DOG
Predation
of lambs by coyotes and stray dogs is always a concern for those of us with
sheep. Chewy is a Great Pyrenees
and his sole job is to protect the flock from any threat. He is ever vigilant at night and patrols
his territory for any intruder, during the day he can be found sleeping close
to the barn under a shade tree. He
is not as bonded with sheep as some LGD’s are, he enjoys playing with the other dogs. He has the run of the place and will
keep the raccoons away from the garden, the deer out of the alfalfa and many people
in their cars.
