[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 267875, member: 539"] Any of them - provided they have a kennel/fenced in area that they are kept in when there is no supervision present, and they are obedience trained to respond to commands and know what is allowed and what is not. Bored, untrained dogs left to their own devices usually develop the habit of chasing livestock (be it yours or the neighbors) for entertainement. I cannot think of a faster way for them to get shot. Dogs, like children, need guidance and training in order to successfully fulfill their purpose in life. Be advised, however, that a dog that fits with ranch life may or may not fit with you and your families expectations/time constraints. I would advise coming up with a composite for the behaviour/needs of a dog based on the time you and your family are willing to expend, then googling different breeds to see which breed fits those requirements/desires.
