Helpful goats and an unhelpful dog

13 Moons farm's blog is a great read, and (surprise, surprise) they have a Maremma named Emma.

One of their earlier entries talks about sending puppy Emma from her home on Whidbey Island to a farm for livestock guardian training. It's a great read and really shows how far the dedicated maremma owners will go to ensure their dog is prepared for its role.

It involves multiple plane flights for Emma - has anyone else some experience in how well maremma fly?

I just discovered Willow the Canadian LGD, and a page showing her growth and development over time.



Unfortunately, the family has a new dog named Thorn, possibly a maremma, with some problems. If anyone can help out here, please contact them.

Is this going to be a trend?

"Health and Regulatory Services Committee chairman, Phil Pidgeon, said Ms Sommerville would be banned from keeping animals for two years if she breached animal management laws one more time."
