Godspeed to a good dog.. you know its not just "cute" that God is dog spelled backwards, right? Something real special about these good dogs that share our lives for such a short time.

Oh yes HD, I am prepared for her becoming BIG! Angel is a medium sized Pyr female..I weighed her when I first got her, when she was terriably thin, at 80 pounds. Bet she's pushing 100 now..gaining weight nicely..but I do think Halo will be bigger then her. Her mother was smaller..but her dad...

Thanks Bigbull..they have a super important job. Never realized how important they are til getting sheep and loosing a lamb this past summer to a bobcat. they give me peace of mind.

Meet Halo, a four month old 3/4 Great Pyr and 1/4 Anatolian Shepherd and future helper of Angel, my other LGD. Halo was born and has lived with dairy goats, her mother, father and brother are all LGD's. I decided it was time to get a pup for Angel to train. She is 8 this year, getting older, Im...

Very common..While I don't doubt ADHD could happen in dogs..(I truly think my Border Collie is a touch OCD..)..I think, just like in children, it is a commonly used excuse..

My vote goes for aliens..they needed cake to power their world destroying ray gun and Sam, being the heroic, self sacrificing dog that he is..ate the cake to save earth.. Ive heard this story before from my dogs..except replace cake with 4 pounds of hamburger..

work yes..but staminia as well..you havent lived til you've had to sprint to the other side of the A frame to beat your dog there..;)

This is a sort of vacation, if you will, from helping on our place...;) And fellas, dont think women only do agility..I saw alot of men at this trial..doing well might I add? Fletcher has only been training in agility since late August..on the equipment since mid Sept..this trial was early...

Well, the pumpkin theory explains why Fletcher didnt puke his guts up after eating one loaf of pumpkin bread..and attempting to eat a second one..;)

looks like aussies are most common..interesting info..:) I've heard of many a dog eating horse crap, right after the horse was wormed, and getting sick from ivermectin poisioning..and these were not herding dogs..my thought is..the breeds you posted are simply more sensitive to even a slight...

There is a test now where you can test your dog to see if they carry the mutated gene. I have been told it's most commonly associated with border collies and the percentage of those with it are actually quite low. The test is, from what I remember, alittle on the expensive side..I keep my two...

The hayrings are horse ring yokes and then steel rings..heavier then anything, but they hold up really well..I have a cow who thinks it's fun to jump in bale feeders..she cant do it with this type of ring.

Yes, we are..Im afraid it may be alittle to late..but tromping thru muck and puddles is a good thing either way. :) I got the sheep for my border collie to work..and then the flock grew. I actually like them better then my cattle...alot less labor intensive. ;) that shed my husband built for...

Based on how much crowing I hear from the neighbor's, I might..;)

Angel thankfully isn't an excessive barker..and she is contained, because my neighbors do have chickens! :)

I tell ya hillsdown, I looked at ALOT of different breeds..the big ones in my area were Pyr, Akbash and Anatolian..I just "like" the Pyr's..something about them..they also seemed to be the most "easy going" of the three, in regards to other dogs and people..still good guardians though. my big...

Because Angel is now patroling the place! Angel is a 7 year old Great Pyr..shes been guarding sheep and goats her whole life. She solidified her position when, the first night she was hear, as the 'yotes yipped at a passing train, she howled back at them..a very low, warning howl, to which the...
