What do we do?
Dogs are an important and fun part of our farm. Most people think of dogs only as pets and companion animals. On our farm, they are all that and more. Each dog has a job and purpose. The Border Collies are our herding dogs and help move the sheep around the farm. The Maremmas are our sheep guard dogs. They live with the sheep and protect them from predators such as stray dogs, foxes, and coyotes. Brooke, our Bernese Mountain dog, is our family pet and guard dog. She happily alerts us when anyone arrives or when anything strange is going on. She loves to make sure everyone is happy and well-loved!
Bernese Mountain A dog that does it all, guarding, herding, and pulling, the perfect farm dog. |
