Now that the ground has thawed, and we have him separated from the ewes during lambing, he discovered the wonder of going under fences and gaining free reign of the area. This has decreased the nighttime barking significantly. But he spends the night inside a paddock right next to the ewes. Every morning he squeezes under the fence and makes his rounds marking territory and doing pond patrol. They are such cool dogs!Becky Utechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809607308191360481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-68635373218066111392010-04-23T09:13:23.543-05:002010-04-23T09:13:23.543-05:00Really nice photos of Hank.

We have another splendid LGD who is not so hairy, he's an Anatolian named Buddha. What can I say, the grandkids named them. If we could put our sheep/goats/alpacas up at night, I'd sleep even better, but the boys do a good job of keeping the coyotes outside the fences. Two of them stay with their charges at night, sleeping in amongst them, when not barking, while the other is more of a perimeter type. Anyway, love the Hank stories.
