As much as I think it would be cool too, I will not let D breed Cal. At 18-24 months sometime I will more than likely find an Anatolian stud and breed him to her. She's a great dog and would be very good for breeding. I wouldn't breed her if she was not up to par of what an Anatolian should be but thus far she is perfect.

No straw been there done that, we had a couple of pet goats once, my daughter was home alone one day and heard this loud noise up on the roof of the house. She was scared to death (15 yrs old) the inside dogs were going nuts (barking) after a long while she finally decided to go out and investigate, only to find the goat up on the roof. ( we live in a Berm House) Funny it was but we don't need the goat tearing up the shingles. Another time we were stretching new fencing (tractor and fences stretch equipment attached) and the bleeping goat jumped up on the seat of the tractor and started pushing levers and all the tension on the fences was let loose Goats on the roof and now operating the farm equipment, DH said it was time for the goats to go.

PS yes keep callie true to the breed and breed her to her own kind

Goats are pretty smart and sometimes annoying.

I tease about the pups... I guess I am a breeder snob too!

Hard to find an Anatolian Male that she isn't related to though. :/ And then the stud fees and no way that baby girl is getting left anywhere!

I knew you were just kidding, D has his own girl friend? Right. You might be able to trade the pick of the litter in return for the stud fee? But your right I wouldn't let my dog leave my property. Thats a hard one!!!!

Sorry for you guys' bad experience with goats. I think you had a bad batch. Some goats are just BAD BAD goats and I think you guys got those ones.

Yep, if I do breed her she will be bred to another Anatolian. I'm not a fan of mutts myself or mixed breeds that now have these snazzy names. Though I don't mind mixed LGD breeds but if I have anything to do with it I'll keep mine LGD's pure to the breed they are.

I always have to laugh when people mention the trouble their goats get into. Escaping, getting into things they aren't supposed to, etc. I've not had any problems with mine. They stay in their fence. even though it's not perfect and behave themselves. They are nice and healthy too. They do however do the walking in front of you and in your way when you are trying to tote hay or food to them. They also like to holler at us if they see us outside or even at the door. They think anytime we come outside we have something for them! I don't recall ever having escape issues with any of the goats I was raised around either. Maybe I've just had good goats!

I got behind on reading everyone's journal, so I missed your pictures yesterday!

I looove your dogs and goats! I have to say, colorwise though, the bucks are my favorite. I love the curls on the one whose name I can't remember at the moment! Can't wait to see pictures of the kids.

No really the goat where alot of fun, the two we had were bottle raised does, they would follow you around like dogs, and very smart, the one was I'm sure just trying to figure away into the house (roof) to be with people, And I really did laugh when the tension was let out of the fencing, Don't let DH know that tho, they were alot of fun always getting into something and looking at you like WHAT I am just entertaining myself, they made me laugh many of times, Naughty goats. seems like they had hoof issues more then they should of, and we couldn't let the sheep catch or pick up these problems, so I agreed it was time for them to go.
