[QUOTE="Farm Family, post: 1796134, member: 43070"] By “stock dog” I assume you mean the collie, heeler “herding type dogs”…we do not. We do however have an LGD (Livestock Guardian Dog). Most LGDs are used on sheep, fowl or goats…our LGD works cattle. Where we are located, we have bears, wolves, cougars, coyotes…she is needed to keep all these predators away from the herd, our farm and our pastures. She is awesome. She has required training and guidance from us. She has natural bred in skills but like all pups needed attention, confidence guiding and role modeling. She is now two years old. She came to us at 12 weeks, we left her with her parents and birth herd of cattle a little longer to learn from her own. She is also wonderful with our chickens. Her cows love her and we are grateful for her hard work. This is her second calving season and she is awesome! She is a working dog for sure! Probably not the same type of stock dog you are asking about because LGDs are less common with cattle but a dog that knows her stock just the same! 😊 [/QUOTE]
