thanks everyone....I loved the muddy one too. My mom and husband were wondering why on earth I would take pics of them all dirty...I knew true LGD lovers would appreciate them! :love they are lovely puppies and so sweet but it has been a lot of work training potential homes/owners to make sure...

Okay, I finally got around to posting some pics of Samspon and Winnie's puppies. They are so adorable and I am so thrilled to have found homes that really seem to match their characters....so worth turning down people and waiting for the right families for the right dogs. Here's an adorable girl...

well I think we may have resolved the issue the last time the ram was chasing the girls I praised Sampson for just watching and it seems like he knows its okay behaviour now....its raining here and Sampson the pups and the ram with a couple goats are all in the shelter together having a snooze...

thanks Southern, the pups are doing really well and at 9 weeks I am really seeing their personalities emerge and have recommended and placed them in what I believe to be the most appropriate homes...all but one will be going between 10 and 12 weeks all to homes with livestock or hundreds of...

My ram is extremely docile...to the extreme. I have rarely seen him ram or even stand/square off around anything. He might push a bit at the grain trough but that is all....I love him as he is a beautiful big ram and is super gentle and easy to work but in this case I wish he would stand up for...

I have had some challenges with my male Pyr Sampson as my ram is now breeding the ewes. Since the frost has hit I have come into the pasture a couple times and found my ram cut off from the herd of ewes and pressed into a corner with lot of slobber on his chest, no blood or injuries but...

Definitely sounds like she needs to get bonded/grounded to an area and flock. I would suggest getting a secure area set up within the pasture that you want her in permanently and leave her there....do NOT let her go into other areas. She needs to know that this is where she belongs, this is her...

definitely at completely different bird, they are very ugly and incredibly food motivated...the first batch of cornish crosses I did I could not get to move from the feeder more than 10 feet...they had access to nice spring grass but ate very little of it. This time around I have lots of extra...

I live right along rail tracks and they blow their whistle at the end of your property....except our trains come by 4 or 5 times a day, not week. Rabbits seem fine, have had litters with no issues and I am assuming they get used to it like the rest of us. I have had a couple goats that freaked...

He's getting soooo big, sooo fast...he is even heavier than he looks, such a lunk! I need to get on his recall as he is much too big to drag or carry now...time for the training to begin. He's also been really good with the goats and sheep and Sampson is starting his livestock training...

well I am pretty much in the exact same position as you are thinking. I have about 3 acres in fenced pasture, plus another one in weeds and another acre in grass/lawn but not really fenced. I have a Jersey in one acre fenced pasture by herself (well I just added 4 ram lambs). I irrigate...

I am no expert that's for sure, so my advice is strictly from my preference, not a show standard...I like the brown one...hard to tell exactly from the pics but the hind legs look more angled, the black ones look posty? Not sure if that's the correct term. Sorry, again I am no expert, just...

That is quite something! It will be interesting to see what happens in future litters! Keep us posted with her, glad she is a good mom for you!

was she acting guilty when she got caught? My male Pyr caught one of my chicks and he honestly did not realize that chick belonged in the flock...was not acting guilty in the least. I gave him a good scolding ("Bad dod, MY CHICKEN!! GRRRRR") took the chick away and never had an issue...

That's horrible! So sorry you have to be going through this...so terrible that there are such irresponsible people out there. Wishing you the best with your remaining goats.

Should work well for you....I have the invisible fence running along my pasture fence and they have never escaped since I installed it that way and they were previously finding all sort of ways to escape, under, over, through gates. Now they can't get close enough to test for gaps or lower...

I don't believe it...I guess sometimes you get that pie in the sky offer that comes through....someone called last night on my really old ad and wants to buy my two 4.5 month old lambs for $160 each!!! I can hardly believe it....they were the cross breed he wanted and hadn't been able to find...

what kind of crosses are you talking about? Some LGDs are more dog tolerant than others. Definitely get a male so you don't have females fighting for alpha female positioning. I would ask the person selling and seeing how they are with other dogs....and make a judgement call on if they are...

Same here...I have some great lambs in the field but I can get WAY more for them as butcher lambs than I can for breeding stock....seems the most you can get for a lamb is $100 for a live lamb, if you are lucky.... So off to the butcher they go...I have had zero bites for great looking lambs I...

that's horrible! I am so sorry you lost him. :hugs
