A question About LGDs

[dainerra]

Quote:

Thinking an "LGD" will be good with chickens is a common fallacy.
They have been bred for thousands of years to protect mainly goats and sheep, and are no better with birds than any other breed.

They NEED to be contained, just like the livestock they are meant to protect
Letting them roam free is asking for trouble, and not fair to the dogs either

and assuming that all GSDs would be bad with chickens is another common fallacy. It depends MUCH more on the individual than the breed when it comes to being safe with chickens. Even more, though, it depends on the owner and the training that they put in.

My boy Rayden is 1000% reliable, but I'd still never leave him alone. Singe, at 1, is 99.99% reliable as long as he is supervised.
