LGD 15-wk Pup-Date: Sheva, our Karakachan LGD puppy, is getting more independent and better about staying with the sheep, but she still needs much more training.
The older mama ewe with a new baby helps train the pup on acceptable and unacceptable behaviors by charging at her any time she gets too close to the lamb.
Sadly, Sheva got to a couple chickens this week before we were able to intervene and separate her. More on what we will be doing to mitigate this later. It's a good reminder to me that LGDs are not poultry safe until they are 2+ years old. They are just so fun to chase!
