I don't have a pic, but my 6 month old boxer/gsd mix decided that it was his job to guard the chicks from our evil kitties when they were inside. Once I accidentally left the door to the room they stayed in. I heard...Growl, bark, grrrrowwl...and ran in there imagining the worst. There he was between the brooder and the cats, and he was NOT going to let them get their paws on a chick. It's even funnier because normally he LIKES the cats. The feeling isn't mutual but he thinks they are his Bestest Friends. Now the chicks are outside he has run off an unknown critter from around the coop already, and tries to "herd" them when I let them roam. I do worry and don't let them alone together though because he is still a big puppy and could easily 'play' with a chick to death, but so far he has been a perfect guardian.
