Crowing
I feel bad about not being able to free range my chickens for very long, and I was wondering if a LGD would protect them so they can free range longer. What are your experiences with them, and what breeds do you prefer?

Nice! I've read that getting them from working parents is better, is that true?
For to mention one thing -- for centuries working LGDs have been trained as pups by older working dogs, not by people (it is very difficult for people to teach a dog that chases or nips livestock to stop, but pups get it quick when an adult LGD tells them to "cut it out"). Typically people buy working dogs at 12-18 months of age from breeders with livestock that have had the pup trained by older working dogs.Thanks for the insight, ill be sure to think about that as well.
