Several of these dogs aren't recognized breeds. I know dogs pretty well and I haven't heard of many of these breeds. I don't know if all these would be good for protecting ones herds, some would be good for herding.

 

[elevan]

There are breeds on that list that are very common in other countries. Remember that the forum is an international one

How about Border Collies and Australian Sheperds?

How about Border Collies and Australian Sheperds?

I think those are more of a herding dog only, not a guardian for livestock That is most likely the reason they are not listed.

Correct - this list is purely guardian dogs.

I suppose at some point we may want to add farm working dogs as a list and point of discussion.

A new list for you Elevan...

Considering the line of work that I used to do, lists are easy. What am I finding a little harder? Getting volunteers to build breed pages

I need volunteers to build LGD breed pages, if anyone is interested please let me know via PM. Thanks!

Excuse me 77. (Waiting for the giggles to stop)

Don't YOU have new puppies? And what are they doing right now other than peeing your your lambs heads?

Why don't you volunteer?

Well aren't we brave to say that... Oh I don't do anything, I just lay around all day on my Full Scale farm. Maybe Ms. Research could chip in with her three bunnies.
