Thank you all for all of your wonderful posts! We have decided that we are going to wait to get a dog. We have a lot of stuff going on in our lives right now so we don't really need another thing to take care of. We will keep everyone's dog choices in mind and when the time is right we will get...
Thanks for all the info! I will definetly talk to my hubby and research more with him. We don't need a dog now but would like one. we will try to get a better fence for when we let the dog outside of its dog run. We will talk to our close family friend to see where they got their Golden...
I found a breeder called Blessed Goldens and they have to type I want for $ ✌️💿💿💿 so a good price but it looks like they are sold out and I would have to wait till next year.
Thanks! I REALLY WANT A GOLDEN RETRIEVER! We already have a Goldendoodle and she is the best so I think a real golden retriever would be even better! Have you ever had a Golden? What was your experience?

I Don't know if I can think of anything else. If you guys have any more ideas or what I should take off the list I would be...
Where did you get them? Do you breed them ore ever have puppies? You are not to far from us. Also we do have 2 goats. They are not on a pasture though.
Our cats take care of the rattlesnakes. ;) But yes I will vaccinate. We do have a large chain link dog yard it is about 5 ft tall. We would put him there when people are over and such but we might have to put up another hot wire....the javalinas have found their way in again!
We could train it to respect the hotwire right? I saw someone on here that put like peanut butter on the hotwire so that the predator would touch it and not want to ever again. Could we do something like that for the dog?
Awe so cute! We have a Mini Goldendoodle and we love her! She has put up with all the kids her whole life and has never tried or even bothered the chickens now the goats on the other hand... She can't guard the animals because she will get eaten up before the other animals do.... We would love...
We do have a hot wire around our property. Sorry I forgot to mention it. :hide I wasn't really think a Lgd but just a medium sized-large sized dog that would attack predators if they try to get into our property. What I have read about lgd is that they are bonded to their flock not their owners...
Yup! We had a rancher that lives 45 mins away from us drop off a black angus bull a few weeks ago, man the meat is the best! We asked for knuckles and marrow, the heart, oxtail, tongue, and leftover bones for the dogs, never want to waste any meat! Might as well use as much of the animal as...
Hello! Sorry I didn't really know where to post this but whatever. I am wondering what breeds of dogs you all have? We are looking into getting a dog. We would like to get one that can protect chickens and goats but not really be totally bonded to them. It will be bonded to us, if that makes any...
Hello! I am so sorry I haven't gotten back to you! My daughter estimated his weight and he is about 210-220 lbs. Right now he is 2 weeks away from slaughter date and he is on hog finisher. I think he is getting between 6-7 lbs of food a day.
