I have a pygmy nannie that had twins last December, her first kids. On July 4, she got in with a pygmy billy & possibly bred again. As of two weeks ago, she was bagging up nicely, is really showing, & had a milky colored discharge. Within the last week, her bag is completely gone. Her belly...

For all you seasoned LGD owners......What would you say are the top things to look for when evaluating/testing a possible LGD? I say "possible" for those that may get a dog they know nothing about at all. For example: While leashed, on the initial walk thru, is the lgd showing aggression...

In the last 3 months, our fallow deer have been attacked twice by a neighbors dogs. First attack, police shot the dog, but it killed one deer. Neighbor brings in more strays. Second attack happened Tuesday. Two of her dogs got in our pasture & attacked 3 of our deer, killing one. We have...

A little background. At this time, I have 4 does, 3 are pygmy and 1 myatonic. This is the first baby for the fainter. When I checked her today, there was a small amount of blood on her lady parts. She is approx. 4 months along. I have never seen blood on any of my other girls, so not sure...

Just wanted to take a minute to say how proud I am to own two amazing LGD's. They are absolutely incredible. They are loving and patient guards of their goats and at the same time, they love us and our grandson with all their heart. I am in awe of how they can be so gentle with their "kids"...

Not sure is this is the correct thread for this, but.......at what age do you let your bottle babies in with the herd? They share a fence now, but when I have let them out to mingle with the herd, the older goats don't hesitate to show them who's the boss. I'm afraid they will be hurt since...

Anyone had their LGD try to herd their goats? A brief history: Ours are GP/AS, 16 mos. old, and stay with the goats full time. Our pasture has a dividing fence with an open gate leading into the lot and barn area. We recently brought 6 goats here from our other place that our dogs had never...

Curious what colors your LGD are. Please post pictures. I saw one that is supposed to be GP/Anatolian that is almost the color of a golden retriever. Any way that's possible?

Yesterday when I got home from work, I saw that we had chickens out in the pen with the goats and Spike. Spike is pyr/Anatolian male 1 year old. I went out to put the chickens back in their pen and Spike came up with a chicken in his mouth. Chicken wasn't hurt but scared to death I'm sure...

In your opinion, does one breed have more problems giving birth than others? I know there can be issues with any breed of goat, but wondering if the dwarfs are more prone to problems due to their small size.

Yesterday at approx. 11 am, DH called me at work & said that "Momma Mae Belle" had a white discharge. Then, at 1:30 pm, he went out to check on her & the discharge was much more amber colored. When I got home, we moved her up to the garage into a 6'X8' chain link dog kennel. She has had...

She seems to be smoothing in her girly parts. I thought she still had a few more weeks to go, but I'm not so sure.

This is Spike our first LGD a AS/GP mix. One year old male.

We got Spike several weeks ago. He is approx. 1 year old, GPxAnatolian. We were told he has been with goats his entire life and was good with the babies at birth. I don't know for certain. He is with our goats and have no issues at all. One Nannie is within a few weeks of kidding. As she...

We are planning to install pipe fence with a solar charger and poly wire top & bottom around our property. Now for the dumb question.......if a bird lands on the poly, will it shock the bird? Obviously, I know nothing about electric fencing. Thanks!

We have 2 gpXanatolian cross, 1 year old, brother & sister that we've had about 3 weeks. They are digging machines! They dig out almost every night and fortunately, they are always there waiting on us in the mornings. Today, we put up a hot wire around the bottom of the fenced area. They...

They are brother & sister, 1 year old, and 1/2 Pyrenees 1/2 Anatolian. The male is neutered and the female will be spayed in 2 weeks. They have been with goats their entire life. We decided we'd keep them here at our house instead of the pasture where the goats are located. We wanted to...

I've been reading about guard llamas for goats. Some say to get one gelding for guarding so they will bond to the goats. Others say you need at least 2 to guard safely. Another opinion was that if you have two, they will only hang out together & not pay attention to their guarding duties. I'd...

Some of the girls

Here's our baby girl born last week. The other cutie is our grandson!
