    Moving with an LGD

    A cage is ok once or twice but it's too small for him to be kept in longer term. His bones won't grow right. This is a huge problem for our larger to giant dogs, and adds to the health issues caused by the toxins in commercial dog food kibble and vaccines and other medical procedures some of...

    Moving with an LGD

    This works when you aren't worried about escape and roaming. Once that starts, they are hard to break...thus my suggestion for the hot wire to keep the dog wary of fences. I want to add that hip dysplasia is really not so much a genetic breeding flaw as a result of not keeping the dog in a...

    Moving with an LGD

    OK, a 7 month old lgd can not be considered a finished lgd. They are in the teenybopper stages through at least 2 years of age for the males, at least 18 months for females, with variations in any direction, lol. So best is to have a secure paddock with electric fence wires offset at the top...

    Help...

    I just scrolled quickly through the replies your post...I may repeat something someone else said just because I want this to be clear and concise. Moms only feed their kits about 1-2 times a day, and they may not feed them the first day if they are 1st timers. If they have been fed you can see...

    Is it ok to let our sheep graze perennial pasture planted 3 months ago?

    Well, it took me nearly a month to see your reply, lol! How many deeps have you been able to grow them to without them becoming more aggressive again? How many mediums or shallows do you use? I don't recall if you mentioned your beek management style. If you raise and sell queens/nucs/hive...

    LGD / Livestock Guardian Dog Breed Page Project (Need Pictures too)

    I'll do Maremma. I've had them since 2001, made the mistakes, learned a few tricks from them, and since 2006 raise and condition them to become turnkey predator control teams. I serve on the board of directors as well as serving the general public through converting a 'rescue' into a viable...

    Introduction:

    Sorry if I did this before and you don't want to hear about me again, but here goes anyway since I don't remember doing it before! We have focused on home education and raising what we want and need for ourselves as much as possible in the past. Now that the kids are all grown but have not...

    Is it ok to let our sheep graze perennial pasture planted 3 months ago?

    When you say they have no stopping sense, are you referring to the sting rate while working with them? I'd like a queen from your hive that makes so much honey! However, not wanting a stingy strain if possible to avoid. Another point, I'm in a wintry area and I think I have found mention that...
