Rehoming is probably for the best. Often when an older puppy (up to 24 mos) is offered as an LGD it is because the dog was not a good guardian prospect, the owners did not realize that they had to be proactive in training, or most important, the fences were not adequate to contain an LGD. Hard to make the decision, but at least you tried hard to overcome any problems. And let's face it, just because he is an LGD breed if he is not on your property or with the sheep he is not much protection.
I went out and worked on home acre fence this morning. I got the spot behind the fire hydrant patch and continued to clear the fence line. Good timing since a bike rider passed walking his bike while dogs came up to alert. He stated they chased him recently. I apologized and said I fixed that hole and working on the rest.
He's very attentive to the OK crew especially Shy Lady. I'm fine with them getting bred.
I want to give Aria a break to regain condition. Scarf is only 8 months old and on small side. I think Coconut and Socks at 4 months old are olay. I have the non-breeding group in north pen with the wethers.
