Jack training Peron- random pictures

[Pearce Pastures]

Good boy! I love how they just know what to do. They are both beautiful by the way.

I had to move both pups out to the field with Jack. The momma goats were very aggressive about keeping puppies away from their new babies so Peron was staying outside in the snow and mud because he was too afraid to go in the maternity barn. Both he and Zorya are doing great with the ones who do not have kids on them. Peron has learned how to bring goats from one field to another. Last week I opened the fence and told Jack to "take them home" (bring them back to the barn). When they came down the road, Peron was out in the lead and Jack was following behind the herd.

A picture would have been great!
How old is Jack now?

 

[Sweetened]

Im sorry, what breed are these gorgeous pups?

 

[jodief100]

Southern- Jack was 3 years old in November. I didn't have my camera with me but I thought the same thing. Zorya is coming along a little slower. She is ADHD dog.

Sweetened- The pups are Karakachans.

they are growing like weeds and peron is such a brave smart boy. my ds's karakachen ( i never know if I'm spelling that right) is about the same age as your babies and is also doing great with his goats. sadly to say tho we came home from a trip to wally yesterday he had killed his first chicken. this is her first lgd and she was freaked out, i assured her that that was natural for lgd's, not something you like but totally correctable. with patience and correction they get past it. time will tell how well his chicken spanking goes.

Zorya is coming along a little slower. She is ADHD dog.

Toby has been slower than Chunk and Elisa... they are 8 months oops 8 and a half months now. We will see how he does. We have 2 does up for kidding in the next few days... he is guarding well, a little oafish and more playful than the other two. The other two are just serious all the time. But this usually means he will end up being a great baby goat daddy! Going to try keeping them apart. Too much to do kidding with 3 pups at once especially when Badger is so possessive of the babies.

They're growing up so fast. Really beautiful dogs!

None of my dogs bother the chickens. They live in the barn with the goats and are just "there". I think the dogs just see them as part of the scenery. Zorya did try to play with some of my turkins but Prince Phillip let her know that was not acceptable. Snowy will on rare occasions go after a bird but when I intervene it is always a bird with some kind of issue, sick or injured. So Snowy will "cull" the flock so I have to watch out for any that are showing signs.

Peron always tries to eat out of Jack's bowl and Jack gives a little growl. Last night I gave all the dogs some freezer burnt hamburger I thawed out. Peron tried to eat out of Jack's bowl and he gave a large growl, then reached out with his HUGE paws and swatted Peron to the ground. He then proceeded to eat with his paw still on Peron's head.

Peron is always convinced someone else's bowl has better stuff than his. As you can see below.

Love that! We have had that with the paw on head thing too. I always find it comical.
They are growing so nicely!
Out of the two who is lead dog?
My Chunk has become lead over Badger now. But they work well together no hostility no fighting for position. Chunk is so chill.
I am with you... they all grow up together with the chickens. Most don't mess with them til around 7 months but it is never to kill just something amusing.
Some of ours have never even looked at a chicken funny, some think 6 am time to entertain myself with that delaware or some other white chicken...
The Toli's however...ugh ... they are just difficult with chickens. Don't know what I'm gonna do with 10 pups.
