Colorado State has a pretty simple set of instructions on how to train a puppy, early imprinting, etc. on their extension website. I don't know if A & M does, but I would imagine they probably have some sort of written guidance as well. If you type in "livestock guardian dogs" on Google it will bring up a lot of sites that may be of interest. A while back there was a pretty lengthy discussion of GP's, Komondors, etc. over on the Farm Life forum (part of GardenWeb) but it would probably be hard to find now. Since the livestock guardian dogs are so popular in Texas sheep and goat country you probably could find a commercial trainer if you were so inclined --- seems like they would imprint on and "learn" to guard calves just as well as sheep & goats. You might also want to chat with some county extension agents in the hill country counties, where a lot of sheep and goats are raised, for some pointers or trainer referrals. Alejandro delaGarza raises a lot of goats --- I wonder if he uses any guard dogs --- perhaps if he notices this thread he could shed some light or give a referral. Arnold Ziffle
