Well, my dogs are not part of the LGD group, but they are still great livestock guardians!!!!!

I have a 10 lb taco bell beast that would eat you alive over his chickens and ChiChis are not listed on your referenced site either.

If a dog is trained to GUARD it shall GUARD.

Cyn - I think you should be training the KID not the dog because it sounds like his parents haven't done a great job with that portion of parenting. I'm guessing you could take the spacey out of him with a little bit of coop cleaning.

No, thanks. I did my time, raised two sons and I'm not up for another one that someone else already messed up with, LOL.


(And, by the way, we won't be turning my little story into a debate on LGDs.

If it guards livestock, it's a livestock guardian. One group may "claim" the title, but that doesn't mean they are the only ones entitled to it! Leo (Lhasa Apso) would be right there with your Chi kickin' butt and takin' names over protecting the chickens. PEE WEE POWER!!! Seriously, if I were in a position to get another dog and expect to train it to protect my chickens and horses, I would get a pitbull. I like the GP's and similar breeds, but I think they are much more likely to want to roam.

Well that's an.. awkward "surprise".

Hate people like that.... Poor puppy probably knew you took care of your animals so he wants some of that attention. Good luck with it speckledhen. Hope it finds a new responsible home

That cracked me up, thinking of sending a very gassy puppy back home to its owners, LOL.

Poor neglected puppy...makes me sad. I'll never understand why people let dogs run loose. Nothing good ever comes from it--more often than not for the dog's sake, much less anything else they may bother or get into. Pitties have such a hard time of it too. If he comes back, I'd send him off to your rescue friend. Nobody (other than us) ever has to know of it. For all they care, he could have been runover.
