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.
