Oh not looking for a poultry dog, Moose is great with the birds. Just wondering if there was anyone here who maybe had them around poultry and how they were. More looking into a working pet, we don't need a guard dog necessarily but would love to train one. The woman I did CGC with does...
Im thinking of getting another dog and very interested in CAO's. Been doing a lot of research for the past 5-6 months, but want opinions. Does anyone here own them or did own them in the past? How are they with poultry?
Can't wait to read the article! ;)
Moose is my first LGD, although now I don't know if you would call him one because he's tiny! But he guards the geese very well, and I think if he were bigger I would try to find a female who has experience with poultry, but when the time comes I think I'll...
Thank you for the replies!
I agree that in the case of the Great Pyrenees they absolutely need to be proven LGDs. I think I personally will never buy another puppy that is not from proven working lines or champion conformation lines, also never without genetic health testing.
Good for you for...
I am very active in the Pit Bull community as I'm looking to get one in the near future! And when I say Pit Bull I mean the American Pit Bull Terrier breed, not the generic term "pitbull" that blankets several similar looking dogs.
In the "Pit Bull world" breeding is not looked down upon as...
Oh yes I've spent my fair share of time sitting on top of my biggest gander, crazy bird, but I love him. I got very lucky with Moose. I've met some very bad Pyrs, I work for a dog trainer over the weekends and the pyrs that come through are crazy. Moose is very eager to please and trainable, he...
I'll have to pull all the vet records my breeder gave us and the wormings he got at the vet!
No he doesn't roam! He doesn't challenge our fence and I'm very grateful for that!
I'll figure out his height in the morning for sure. I've met some of the other dogs from his litter, every female is bigger than him, not much taller but much thicker. One of the males now is 120ish, bigger than the sire.
He is not neutered, have no reason to neuter him yet!
Moose is a year old and only 70lbs. He's pretty tall but very very lean. His sire was 100-110lbs and the dam was 85lbs. He was the smallest of ye litter (12 pups) but not a sickly runt. He has food out 24/7 but just doesn't eat a lot. Think that's just how he's built? His dad was very thick, mom...
Thank you for the welcome! I've been on Backyard chickens for a few years and saw there was an LGD forum over here, thought I might join in!
Yes that is Moose, he's a one year old Great Pyrenees and a dream of a dog! We live in Tennessee, but I've always wanted to live in Colorado!
And yes...
Just wanted to add my experience with training Moose around the geese last summer, don't know if that's still what this thread is for but here it goes!
I had four adult geese and around sixteen goslings, some had hatched from these adults and some were bought from a hatchery. Moose at the time...
Are we still needing breed pages? I know a bit about all the breeds, dogs are my thing! But I only own a Great Pyrenees!
Here he is, he's a year old and his name is Moose. (:
