Man... you can't have just ONE?!?! You NEED at least 1/2 a dozen! ;) Hate to steal the thread, but have a few Q's...

OK, so I'm the new proud owner of a LGD :love pup. But I don't presently have any of the "L"s for the "D" to "G" :confused:

I wanted to wait till next spring, but now I'm trying to (or trying not to?) fanagle out a way to start this fall instead :duc
So ...IF... I can find the goat breed(s) that I want, would it be better to start with mature goats, or kids? Or maybe a pregnant doe (or 2... or 3)? The pup was born on Jan 2nd, so if/when I get the goats, most likely late August/early September time frame, the pup will be 8-9 months old. Just trying to learn what would potentially work best for all concerned (me/goats/LGD).

I'd like for the pup and goats to bond with minimal issues as I expect the pup to be living with them virtually full time, when that time comes. Thanks in advance for your help!
