    Good small dogs for protecting flock

    I have a mountain curr....looks a lot like ur dog:). She is six and we only got the chickens last year...we’re chicks and super active which made her get way too excited...I would love to start interpreting her but worried I missed my opportunity. Having had this type of breed, what do u think?

    #1 Recommended breed to new keeper?

    I would lean towards speckled Sussex or barred rock...IMO they are both very friendly and social breeds. SS loves to talk nonstop...lays well also
