Again, thanks for all the posts...I had almost backed out on getting a GS, but these last few posts make me want to reconsider...will go this weekend and see what I can find at our famous Northeast Texas Trades Days in Canton, TX. There are usually lots of dogs to choose from at the monthly...
We want them to protect the chickens from the dogs down the road...they run wild and aren't fed/tended to enough by their owners and we've had problems with them eating our chickens. Need some defense.
We were looking to get a GS to raise from a puppy with our chickens to train to protect our chickens. Any opinions/experiences related to GS dogs and chickens. We also have three kids under age 10. We want it to be a good blend all the way - dog, chickens, and kids. Please help me sort this...
