I would be cautious, even as "just" a farm dog. Last year, we tried getting a puppy who was an "Idaho shag" which is an Aierdale/border collie cross. They are used as farm dogs in Idaho for herding and whatnot. We thought she would be a good fit, not for guarding, but for general patrolling and...

Thank you all for your replies! Yes, Mini Horses, if I wasn't ready that's when they'd make it happen : ) But I've been thinking that he may not have what it takes. I agree that it probably depends on the individual and he isn't small, especially when compared to his brother (a wether now) but...
