Thanks! he is am exceptional dog and has uncanny perception. He will watch me doing a task and then figure out how to help me. Once,I was trying to put my chickens up before dusk,alone. You know how difficult that can be. Jessie watched me for a few minutes, then took off after a stray hen, penned her up against a fence and held her down with his paw until I could get to her. She did not even have a ruffled feather. Now if I need help, I just say "Jessie, I need your help" and he puts them all right up.

My boxer/lab mix does the same. We say "Lucy- bring them home" and she will herd them, be it chickens or goats, to where we want them. She also keeps the flogging turkey in check and will chase the roosters off the hens if the hens are "protesting" the mating.
Our "blab" may be a mutt but she is very useful on the farm.
