Who’s that Lady?!

We just picked her up today. She is my new Livestock Guardian Dog (LGD). The things we know about her….she is a working dog to protect goats, and she will test fences. She is 7 months old and loves to be on the front porch.

What we don’t know about her….she has never been with poultry so we don’t know if she is good with them.

The look of concern

I am hoping she will protect the goats and chickens. I am also hoping that she does not test my patience more than the fences. She is very sweet. We have her in the 10×10 pen I put the goat kids in at night. Karen, the breeder, is coming for the goat kids this afternoon so I won’t need the 10×10 tonight. Hopefully I can let her out tomorrow to see what she will do.

Y’all come back now!

About the author

I am a work at home Mom of two of the best boys ever. I am a Nationally Certified Master Groomer and have been grooming out of my home for the last 12 years. We have recently moved to Greenbrier Tn on 27 acres. We are new to the "homesteading thing" but we are excited to learn. We hope to be filling our farm with many critters and a garden. We are homeschoolers so everything is a unit study to us. It has been fun to see the boys help Dad cut firewood. We will also be learning how to build a chicken coop in the near future as well. I have been making handcrafted soap lately as well and I am seeing an improvement in that business as well. It is all natural vegetable and goat milk based soaps. Can't wait to share this experience with everyone.
