Guard
dogs help to protect livestock.
It
is never a sure thing when it comes to raising a guard
dog from a puppy. When it comes to protection, like
keeping predators away from the sheep, guard dogs can
offer some control.
Several common guard dog breeds in the US are Great
Pyrenees, Komondors, and Anatolian Shepherds. There
are more dog breeds of course, and you can find more
information online or at the bookstore.
The
thing to remember is that your puppy guard dog is a
working dog and not a family pet. It is recommended
that your puppy be raised with the sheep that he is
to tend and form a bond with the sheep. While training
will take time and effort the end result should save
you money and lost sheep.
