On Saturday the 2nd of April, Tui came to live with us. She is a 5.5 year old Anatolian Shepherd. She had never been around any type of fowl before. She HAD been bonded and guarded a herd of Alpacas. Her owners were downsizing, the Alpacas were gone and everyone had moved into a subdivision. The backyard was fenced, but it was privacy fencing and the family lab taught Tui to dig out under the fence. They loved Tui very, very much but did not think that she was happy living in their new situation. So when they saw my add looking for a LGD, they responded.
Tui is fantastic with all the birds chickens, chicks, ducks and geese. She is wonderful with the horses and gets along with our indoor dogs.
Saturday, the 9th we woke early in the morning to Tui barking. She rarely ever barks she has a very melodic howl that seems to keep the coyotes away from our place. So we heard her bark and then heard another voice barking. Outside our fence was the neighbors GSD the dogs will come looking for our border collie and play with her. BUT they jump my fence and scare my chickens they are strange dogs with no bird manners according to our chickens. Tui did her job perfectly and kept the dogs on the outside of the fence.
After a hard night of guarding
Rub my belly would ya
Ya Im smilin
All the dogs
