I confess to my favorite goatie group that I absolutely LOVE dogs! That last fellow was dropped off here as a 5 month old pup (vet's best guess as to age). He is a darling...we guessed that the people who had him thought he would grow up to be a beast and he disappointed them with his mellow temperament. Whatever his breeding (?) he looks like he might be a tough guy...nothing could be further from the truth. He loves everybody!!!!
We have actually seen him chasing chipmunks, catch up to them, stop and let them pass, and then start chasing them again! He is VERY fast but he is definitely not a killer...just in it for the chase! The "Twerbs" are the killers! Geeesh! Like most little mixes they have the instinct to go after rats or squirrels or cats or whatever. They are, however, wonderful with the goats. They take total possession of the little kids and clean up after them, sleep with them and cuddle/coddle them. They even love them when they get big and would stay with them, but the LGD's are not really trustworthy when it comes to little dogs...so, they are forbidden inside the fences...except the kid pen. I know dogs can be terrible to goats and we never forget that...but so far this group does well.

I also like the last pic of the big fluffy dog in the snow.
