[QUOTE="farmwriter, post: 875757, member: 10309"] I have sack-broke cows, and Bailey - my 8 yr old female catahoula - is my pet first, mediocre cow dog second. She has way more drive than I have need for, but she makes a heck of an alarm system on our farm and is a good balance of friendly and protective. She's good with the brood cows, but I don't trust her with the calves. Once they're old enough to wander off from mama, it's more temptation than she can stand. She'll catch and release a calf to death if it gets separated from the herd. She is gentle as a lamb and great with kids, but it took TONS of effort to get her that way. Meanest puppy I've ever seen, and I'm not kidding. She would try to attack me if I walked behind her while she was eating when she was so tiny she still had milk teeth. And if my husband tried to put her in the kennel as a pup, she went after him. I trust her completely now with our little girl though, and she is a great companion animal - just took a lot of work to get her where she is now. I would never recommend one to somebody who can't put in substantial time with it. [/QUOTE]
