    New Kid

    Ok, so in case you didn't see my post in Everything Else Goats, titled "Jumped Back Into Goats", here is a quick summary: I decided to get back into goats after not having any for a few years. I found a 4 1/2 month old ND wether someone just wanted to give away to a good home due to him having...

    Jumped Back Into Goats!

    Hi all! Something exciting has happened here! After several years of having no goats (I had rehomed all of mine due to health issues), I finally realized how much I really missed having them and my health is so much better. I started looking a couple months ago and last week found the most...

    BEST DOGS EVER!!!

    This may be a controversial thread, as it deals with spaying/neutering my lgds....I know many here don't agree with it, or at least feel it shouldn't be done before a certain age. That debate is not the point of my post, but I wanted to share how completely AWESOME my dogs are! So, after much...

    INFO ON FEEDING

    Hi all! I've noticed several threads about skinny horses and what to do to get weight back on them. I have experience in this, having taken on a SEVERELY emaciated yearling Arab filly several years ago. I researched looking for the SAFEST way to get weight on her, and got her to looking...

    My Great Pyrenees and the Rain

    As some of you know I have 3 LGDs....a 5 year old female Pyr and her 2 pups that are half Anatolian. They spend most days in their large kennel (it has a huge tarp covered straw bale house in it) and from about 5 pm until 5 am they are loose in our huge fenced backyard (they have an overturned...

    DO YOU THINK PONY RIDES SHOULD BE ALLOWED AT FAIRS??

    Some of you know that I recently brought home 2 former pony ride ponies. I bought them from the woman who owned the pony ride business and had decided to get out of it. When I first went to see the ponies (in July), they were ALL terribly emaciated and so sad looking (except for one very...

    New Neighbors.......

    Oh no!!! Our new neighbors just started moving in today! I don't mind new neighbors, but between their young child screaming and their yappy little dog, my Pyr, Sheba, is barking almost nonstop tonight! I don't feel I should correct her, but how do I let her know that the neighbors and their...

    Shelter For Your LGDs??

    Many of you know I just acquired 3 LGDs, a GP female and her 2 pups (their father is an Anatolian). I have a large kennel within my livestock area just for them.

    Pics of my LGDs

    I finally got pictures of my 3 new family members! Sheba/momma, Hondo/white male, Cara/red female. It's so funny how the puppies turned out! Cara is built and has the coat of her momma (Pyr), but the coloring of her daddy (a red Anatolian). Hondo has the coloring of momma but the coat and...

    LGD...

    Does anyone use unconventional breeds for guarding livestock or mixed breeds? What age is too old to start training a dog as an LGD? Also, does anyone have house dogs and LGDs? We have 7 house dogs, none of them are LGD breeds, all rescues. I considered training one of them, but don't think...
