Pictures of your dogs with your flock. (Give dog breed also)

I saw an old post like this and though it was pretty neat so i figured I would start another one. I don't have pictures of my dogs with my chickens at the moment but ill take some and post later. Please give a little info about what breed of dog and maybe the pros and cons of that breed in regards to chickens.

I don't have any pictures that I know of right now either, but I certainly know that my chickens and dogs interact. My chickens don't really like the dogs, and the dogs mostly ignore them, but when I bring in a chick our little poodle always tries to clean them and father them. He is such a worried parent! LOL

We have poodle mixes, because of allergies. Our chickens are all sorts of breeds, though our poodles favorite was a silkie.

Very cool never seen a dog lick a chicken before!

My dog loves to follow the chickens around when they free range (he really just likes to harvest their poop, gross I know I have tried and tried to break him of it.), the chickens don't mind my lab because he has never tried to get them nor is he the least bit aggressive around them. My wife's miniature dachshund on the other hand must be locked in the fenced backyard at all times as he is not to be trusted!! He lies in wait on the other side of the fence and pounces when the hens come close to the fence.
