Introducing the Livestock Guardian Dog to Sheep

Video: Introducing the Livestock Guardian Dog to Sheep

Our eleven month old livestock guardian dog, Sam, has been on the farm about three months and spent the entire time guarding our free-rage meat chickens. Now that we are done with chickens for the year, I needed to find a new job for Sam. In this video I introduce Sam to our sheep flock by first having spend a few days with a single ewe and then bringing the entire flock into his one acre paddock. After some chasing he settled down! I will give an update in a couple weeks once Sam and the flock are moved out to pasture.
