Happy to hear the chasing is coming to an end.
Completely understandable. They were with different livestock, never around goats, and they are puppies and the goats had never been around a LGD!
Good work!
Thanks
@Southern by choice ! We are making progress.
Yesterday was their 1st vet visit. We really like this Vet. He's a meat goat man. Has mostly Spanish, but some percentage Boers. Great resource for selling meat goats and other things farm related.
Doesn't know much about LGDs but recently had a female Pyr/Toli mix (75/25) show up in his druveway. She insisted on hanging out near his goats. He tried to get her to leave, bit she wouldn't leave. I told him he hit the mother lode for LGDs. He used to lose goats at least a couple times a month, to coyotes. Since she showed up, he hasn't lost one goat. Three times now his does kidded out in the pasture. He couldn't find them, so the dog took him right to the mom and kids.
He was more than happy to talk, so I spent some time educating him on LGDs.
The puppies are growing fast! 19 weeks. Deo is 58 pounds and Violet is 46 pounds. They were afraid going in, but soon figured out it was safe, and they relaxed.
there were several dog's of different sizes and neither of the pups reacted to them.
The goats are warming up to us, and seem to be wanting more attention. I live It when they come up to me and nibble on my hand and let me per them.
They do like their apple treats, but we limit those, because we don't want them getting too much sugar. They also like the feed pellets for treats. So, They get more of those.
We have been cutting browse from the woods, and when they see us bringing a couple branches to the pen, they all come running, bleeting. Its just so cute! I'm in LOVE
It could just be sleepy. But, it has been like that since we brought it home. It's the smallest one, so I know it isn't different ones each time. The others are running around and even sometimes step right on it, but it barely moves. I have seen it drink, but not eat.
