More and more people are thinking about getting Livestock Guardian Dogs to protect their small homesteads. With more buyers, there are more breeders, and unfortunately, some of these dogs are ending up in situations that could have been prevented.

Livestock guardian dogs - Great Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherd, Akbash, Maremma Sheepdog, Caucasian Shepherd, etc.. Are genetically predisposed to certain behaviors that can be problematic if people are not aware. They are also not the best answer for many small homesteaders wanting to protect stock from predators.

Whether you are looking for an LGD, or already have one, this is great information
