If anyone is looking for a great trained LGD I might be able to meet you somewhere. I just want her to go to a good home.
This is what I posted on FB today.
I have a 3 year old Anatolian that needs a new home. She fights with my other female LGD and unfortunately it will be to the death if they ever get on the same side of the fence again. I have chosen to re-home her as she likes people, the other one is more "mine" . This breaks my heart but I don't see another choice.
Alondra is a great LGD, she lives with about 60 goats including kids and she is perfect. I have had her since she was 5 months old and she never chased a goat. She respects fences, but I run hot wire and she knows it and is terrified of it. She doesn't bark needlessly. She loves people and has never shown aggression. She gets along great with my old female LGD and my male. She also gets along with my female house dogs and my cats. She isn't spayed and had a litter of pups a year ago. She will ride in my car and is comfortable in the house when needed, she stays in the house when she is in heat. She has had Rattlesnake aversion training.
Now the other side...she will go out an open gate if she has a chance. She has not been around any poultry. She has never been trained with any commands. She is likely to jump on you to say hello, she will "goose" you. She has never worked or lived without another dog. She does resource guard and will bury her food for later, but she lets me take her food. She has been trained to go through the top rung of pipe gates to get into some fields; I put stock panel on them if I don't want her to use them as a passage. She has never been around children. She may carry the gene for Entropion (4 of her 7 puppies had to have eye surgery). She does like afterbirth ...a lot. She digs holes to bury things. She likes to stand with her front feet in the water trough in the summer.
My requirements for her new home... There will be a contract and she will come back to me if there are any problems. I will not have her sent from home to home. She needs another LGD to pair with, a male, younger or older, or one in the near future. No females in the field. Since she has never been around children a home with no kids might be best. (she does jump on people), but that is up for discussion. The farm needs good fences. She needs to have human contact daily, the more the better, she is a lover. The new owner needs to be familiar with LGDs and understand the breed. Don't expect her to be chicken trained, but not saying that she can't learn but also not saying that she can.
She is not a rescue and I am not looking for foster home. She is a great dog and deserves to have a great home. She is loved and will be missed horribly. I have never given up an adult dog or cat, this is not easy for me and I will be picky. I am in No. CA. Two hours north of Sacramento. I will not ship her. Re-homing fee??? She is worth more than whatever anyone would pay. The purpose of a re-homing fee is to make sure that she is wanted and not a throw away dog.

Oh Babs. I am so heartbroken. I wish I was already moved because you know she'd be here, with out a doubt.
I do know how agonizing this.

I think that she would like the high desert of New Mexico... Along with some mini Alpines.
