Squeee! They are adorable! I hope the goats live them as much as I do!
My goats weren't real thrilled about dogs when I got them. Luckily my female won them over :) The other day my herd queen, who has an attitude, was standing on top of a bale of straw and every time my male wanted to pass her she would start to head butt him. He was majorily ticked at her and stood there and barked at her till she finally got tired of the game and let him pass. Poor guy, he is at thieir mercy and all he wanted was to pass by so he could come and see me.

One of the pups was in the buck pen and my buck did that head tilt "I'm gonna get you" move and the pup just backed up and left. Good training. The buck was no where near butting him, and he was moving VERY slow, but the pup didn't bark or act afraid. Good signs I think.

I still haven't picked one out for you. The brown one is taken, so that leaves 5 for me to choose from. I haven't advertised much as I want to pick out yours before anyone else speaks for any more of them. I have one that I am watching closely for you, don't know why he has my eye, there is just something I like about him so we will see.

Yay! Thank you for the update! Sounds like everything is going well and they are acting like they are supposed to act. :) Good training too with the buck, it's good they can read the body language that young already! :ep

Thank you for the pics and update, I was just (well always) wondering how they were doing! :D

Did I see the rear of a black pup?
Yes, there is a black pup. He has a white muzzle, white feet, and a white tip on his tail. He is a big big boy and quite independant.

Mom has Ovcahrka in her and I have been told that that is where the black comes from. We had 2 black ones last year.

If I needed another one and my male wasn't so territorial I would keep the black one. I am a sucker. :)

Man, he is CUTE though! Does the top one have cream spots? He's really cute too. :love
Yes, he has cream spots. Dad has light freckles so there is a little color on both side of the gene pool. I have a female pup that has them too, and then there is the anatolian looking one. He is adorable, (and sold).

So cute! I love all of them, how could one ever have to choose!??! :lol: :p
When I got my male I went strictly by coat length, and my female was the only female so it was easy too. Not counting the black one, (he is too independant I think for you) I have 4 to choose from and 2 of those have long hair so that really narrows it down to two. I need to mark them so I can tell them apart.
