I was looking for a puppy to accompany me while caring for my chickens, ducks, and goats. I saw an ad for anatolian/collie mix. I responded to see if any were left, one was but was already 12 weeks. That’s fine right? So we drove almost 2 hours to “look at it.” When we arrived the farmer said it was in a trailer over yonder, so we drove down and he unlocked a metal horse trailer and pulled out a fairly large puppy. It looked half dead, limp, and covered in ticks. Not what I was looking for at all, but there is NO WAY I’m leaving this puppy here. So we picked all the ticks off qnd he is recovering really well. But the goats come walking up on hind legs and I’ve tried intervening but anytime I turn my back the one goat is humping the dog and the dog just lays there till I run up and save it. Any advice for helping the dog feel more confident or getting the goats to back off would be welcome. Thanks.
