He's adorable!! But he needs a spiked collar and leather coat before I believe the big pointy teeth claim!!My wife just secured our Livestock Guardian Dog. Look at the incredible presence of this beast:
Be forewarned birds of prey, this vile creature has a foul temper and nasty big pointy teeth!

Very funny morning thanks to the chickens.
First, I went to feed them, and they decided to not like the snow (probably the loud wind had them freaked). After a minute, a Partridge Rock flew out, and tried to land on me. The Partridges have never been cuddly, so that was pretty funny that she was that freaked.
Then, I started cracking eggs onto the griddle until I found a fertilized egg. When I saw sperm in my food, I was happy.
Coffee, my BR has been laying her eggs with a splash of cream (light eggs, with a swirly pattern at the end) and double yolks. The first one broke when DH went to flip it. He was so upset, he found another one of her eggs to eat. He just HAD to have a double yolk!
Then the dog wanted an egg. I gave him one of mine after I had eaten the yolk. He is standing there eating, and DH moved his foot. HIS dog growled at him! When I moved, the dog backed up, and sat there waiting for me to tell him to "go ahead" and finish eating!!
I know, bowls are perfect for my fermented feed too!! and yes it freezes but there shouldnt be any left over.... my chickens are now down less than half what they were eating a week and half ago... chicks still eat well but even they are slowing down on feed!!! YAY!!I hate dealing with water in cold weather too. These buckets http://www.tractorsupply.com/fortex-calf-mate-calf-feeder-2-gal-capacity-black-2171247 help a lot. Right now I don't have electric out at my chicken area, so I have to make do.
These buckets might be too big for bantams, but are perfect for ducks, turkeys and large fowl. They flex, so you can break the top ice crust with a well-aimed boot heel. If they end up being partially frozen, but too hard to break the crust, just turn them over and stomp on the bottom to knock the ice loose. Helps relieve the frustration of having to mess with ice, lol. Cussing is optional, but seems to improve my aim. If they get waaaay to hard frozen, turn them over and let them sit in a sunny spot for the rest of the day. The ice will come out in a big chunk that can be used for igloo building. Not really, but I always end up with multiple bucket-shaped ice blocks around my chicken yard, and they make me think of igloos. I guess I'm easily entertained.
