  • Well that was just about the hardest thing I’ve ever done.  How is it that an animal buries itself so deeply into your heart and soul.  He was my best buddy in the world.  Not seeing him waiting in th

This makes me unspeakably happy amidst all the sadness of those of us who have recently lost our best friends...but I mean, I could see it coming from the posts a few weeks ago...this friendship.  From your post a few pages back:

That’s a beautiful dog. 

Thanks.  He is a big softie/cuddle monster type.  Heeler/Pyrnees blend.  Only 8 months old so I imagine he's got 15-20 more pounds to add.  Good boy Cooper!

Found Little Homesick’s old Ole Miss jersey yesterday morning and decided to make the necessary alterations prior to the Ole Miss/LSU game.

Bentley wasn’t amused.

so is that mama in the pic?  and is she a trained herder?

also, how did they escape capture for 4 weeks?

Yep, mammie. Not a herder such as Babe the pig, a working cow dog or Border Collie that you see in the UK or Oz.

She is a livestock guardian---one of the guardian breeds developed in Southern Europe a couple or three thousand years ago.

Most of the old line breeding of these breeds have extra dewclaws on their hind legs--process of evolution where they had to climb steep terrain and even trees.

Momma  has been working in the wilds with a herd for the last six months. Had the litter under a steep up and down bluff that a person would hav been bit fourteen times by coontail rattlers before they ever got close enuff to try to get them from under the rocks.

I knew when she had them and knew close to where they were and I figured if they survived I would get them caught when she brought them out.

This morning she took them to work and I was able to get them caught in an opening before they got back in the roughs and got away.

Brought the pups back to the house with their mamma following and put her and the pups in an old stock trailer for the time being.

Went and checked the migrant family just a bit ago and momma has become re-socialized and the pups are wanting to dance a bit when you "puppy, puppy " them.

Most of the guardian breeds---Pyrenees, Akbash, Anatolian, Bernese, Maremma, and Komondor make outstanding pets, companions, and protectors.

Loyal to a fault, more so than Labs. Take one of these breeds as a pup and bond it with a kid and the ice cream man ain't ever gonna kidnap that child.

Komondors if they are old line breeding  are one of the breeds a little tricky to own in that they eat azz pretty quick. Have to watch them around strangers for they are on point for their humans and if they don't like the strangers tone or body movements it could get on quick. Make great dogs for women who aren't sure about their safety at home or in public.

NEVER inappropriate for damn sure.

GP’s are just the best. Very kind and gentle and loving. Yet when you give them a herd to watch/protect they do not fuck around. We never dealt with any predator kills when we used to have Boer goats, and Scooter would simply do his super deep and intimidating bark if any yotes even got close.

Always got a kick out of grooming him too. When he would need his undercoat brushed out it would fill up an entire contractor bag.

Amazing. That sounds like heaven to me.

What does momma eat while she's out on the range for so long?

Sheep and goat feed. Squirrels that they catch. And the cream de la creme, John Armadillo. They absolutely love it.

I hate to admit it, but every house floor pisser, yard dog, or guardian dog here has a birthday and on it they get treated.

Dogs are a big damn deal to me.
