LGD pup bonding early- PICS

I thought a few people might enjoy seeing how a 4 month old pup (Badger) took to our new kid (Will- ND buckling 6 wks) from day1.
The bond was immediate and has only gotten stronger.

New kid "Will" 1st day- Does making sure this new buckling knows his place.



Badger -4 months coming to the rescue. He was trying to run interference from the mean girls!



"D" checking things out. "Will" a bit bervous, "Badger" keeping him from harm. I think this is the sweetest picture!



All grown up.. Badger 14 months ... Will 11months... never far apart..



Caleb (Straws buck) Will and Badger...



One of the bucks saying hi... you there?



Badger and Amy.... a fantastic team. Amy is a fierce guardian but a sweet angel.



Just a cute pic of the bucks!



Badger cannot be seperated from his ND bucks for long... he will dig at the fences to get back to them.
If the bucks are scared by anything they run to Badger and try to hide under him. Sometimes they get in the way.

all I can say is it makes me Smile

I love Moses' curls! Handsome boys you got there Southern!
The dogs, of COURSE, are BIG-FLuffly LOVEBUGS!

Love, love the photos!!

I've been thinking about getting an LGD. Dbf has a strict 'No Dogs' rule but a couple nights ago I was telling him I'm going to seriously start researching LGD's, yadda yadda. All he said was as long as they dont touch his cats then whatever..

Amy is extremely independent... not interested in bonding with any goat... she is a territorial guardian.
Badger... what a mess... ultra sensitive... "needs" his goats AND does best with another dog.
He is very jealous when it comes to us loving on Amy.
Need to take them out again and re-enforce some obedience skills...

I swear if I ever wanted to sell "Will" I'd have to sell Badger with him. I think they'd die without each other.

Badger is still in his lanky teenager stage now... really funny looking. I can't wait til he fills out.. in another year!
Amy is still a pup too... 10 months now... she is a brick house. Real thick and solid. I wanted her to be my house puppy... she's not.

Oh my those are sweet.

I love the dogs and glad to see Badger has kept his handsome markings. But what a HANDSOME ND. Wow! The coloring and pattern on him is incredible!

Those are wonderful pictures
