Thank you. He is such a good natured dog and he insists on being w the flock. I got him from a local rescue. His owner had died and the goat flock was sold. He transitioned beautifully to sheep and chickens. It is sadly obvious that he’s been beaten - a lot of flinching and spooking but we get better every day and he never neglects the sheep. About a year and a half old and I’m going to have coat challenges. Never owned a bearded dog occasionally get a smoooch.
he's sure a cutie, and to my knowledge they aren't all that common but I've had lgd's for a long time and he just had the look. you are very fortunate to rescue a dog that fits in so well with your farm. I rescued a male lgd who had never been handled and it took me months before he would even let me pet him. he's a big drooler, not so bad in the winter but ewww in the summer time.
@Baymule, we have to remember that I am short and marco is a big boy and he will come over and lay his big slimy head on my chest and look lovingly into my eyes and all I can think of is eewwwww, I've been slimed. its a good thing I love the big goof.
I forgot to add kudos to the rescue I got him from. Can I mention a name? (Its acronym rhymes with yarn). Such a nice job done with his coat which was a mess when they got him. They kept him working too.
Bought in by the cat (!).....very thin and weak, but unharmed. Her family lives under the house eaves .I like them, but as they're a protected species , I'd have to put up with them, even if I didn't.
No rabies in Britain, or I'd be wearing gloves.
Very friendly. Fed, watered and freed after about 2 weeks having gained lots of weight.
