I am thinking of getting a guardian dog (which breed I am not sure) because I know there are coyotes in my area. I just bred two goats (nigerian) and I am afraid of losing the babies to coyotes. My problem is one of the goats I have was owned by a lady that had two dogs that would kill animals if they managed to get loose. This goat has seen several members of her former herd killed by these 2 dogs and many chickens killed in and around the barn she lived in by the same dogs. My question is how in the world would I get her to tolerate a dog in the same stall with her? I have a dog now that the goat will not tolerate close at all. Would I be better off getting a llama instead? How do they do in the guardian position? My husband says "no llama. we don't need a zoo here" I already have 50 chickens, 75 rabbits, 8 chihuihuias, 2 cats, 1 horse, 3 goats, 8 frogs.........Why not another animal? (Thats not to mention his 50+ aquariums)
