[QUOTE="fellersbarnoneranch, post: 69574, member: 120"] Have to say CraigTX that that varies from dog to dog and situation to situation. I vetted all including IM shots and clipping the double dew claws with no sedation. Shots were done in the barn. "lay down--hold still--I said hold still. Good boy" was the extent of my troubles. Granted these 3 were raised more as pets than livestock guardians. The oldest was caretaker of some goats and sheep and a horse in MO--the other 2 were couch potatoes. It has been a year and they have really adjusted well. They stayed all night in the pasture with the mare that foaled last year and usually are the first to show me the new calf. In a lot of guardian situations where they are left isolated from humans (which I can understand) they would be harder to vet. For farm dogs--I think they can adapt to what you need from them. They are not obedient like my Aus shep mix, but they are loyal to a high degree. [/QUOTE]
