I'm 10 months old and I have 8 brothers and sisters. Our human mom says it's time we stop being free loaders and get jobs. We are all looking for a security position. We have been patrolling with our parents since 12 weeks old. We have experience with all kinds of livestock. We are located in Texas but even though we don't have our license yet, mom said she can drive us. Pm our human mom for more info. Did I mention we love kids. Look in the comment for all our pictures.

I feel like this needs to be said again. ANIMAL RIGHTS and ANIMAL WELFARE are not the same. In order for a being to have RIGHTS, that being needs to be able to exercise RESPONSIBILITY. Hell, that is difficult for a lot humans to exercise, why on earth would we want to put that burden on an animal? A good farmer, hunter, fisherman, or even a pet owner is the steward. They are the ones who exercise responsibility, yet their rights are being chipped away at everyday.
I don’t worry about PETA. They are a clown show and anyone with a brain can see it. I worry about other groups. They sound like they also favor welfare, like the Humane Society of the United States. Their director of animal cruelty said, “My goal is the abolition of all animal agriculture.” Any farmer that works with these guys is a fraud and enemy to all other farmers. Why do I say this? Because there are farmers who work with them. Why? Either they are too stupid to understand what HSUS is all about or they know but only care about the immediate return and pretend they are fighting “Big Ag”.
Animals don’t have rights, period. We as farmers, hunters, fishermen, and pet owners do and we need to responsibly exercise these rights to be good stewards of the animals, land, and waterways. Nothing could be more righteous on behalf of the animals than that.

Pyrenees/Anatolian guardians. 7 month old pups ready to take on there own herds. They have been exposed to all farm animals as well as exotics. Yes they have been around poultry, if you choose to leave them unattended however before 2 years old and they kill your chickens cuz you locked them in the coop do not call me thinking I'm going to replace your chickens, and don't shoot the dog. This will be your fault. These pups wander ten acres and have a perimeter fence this is a 4 strand fence on 3 sides they rarely wander outside the perimeter. Once you train them to yours they shouldn't be huge wanders. They do bark, this is their job. These pups parents are working dogs back upto 4 generations. Parents are confirmed coyote killers and have taken cougars, skunks, badgers, bears, and wolves and other large K9 that have threatened there herds. Parents care from up North where we have large predators. Because of the economy and coming holidays I'm taking 100 off their regular price. I also have 18 week old pups not pictured if you want a younger dog.

Rodeo is looking for a home. He would work best in a home with kids to play with. He's a heeler mix about 2 years old. Would need to be the only dog as he wants all the attention. He's a great boy, I have had him with my young grand kids, he tolerates cats but will give chase if they run. He is trained to a tie line and dies need at least a 4ft fence to keep him contained. He has a good recall not perfect but good. He would make a good agility dog, and if you have patience to train would make a great herder. My daughter has 3 other dogs and Rodeo and her other dog don't get on. He is the younger of the two so it's the only reason he's the one being removed. Message me for more info. Located near Fritch. Willing to meet in Amarillo or lubbock for the right home. I will want monthly updates for 6 months on him with photos. And if he doesn't work we will 100% take him back. He an awesome dog.

Old Farmer's Advice:

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered... not yelled.
Meanness don't just happen overnight.
Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.
Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.
You cannot unsay a cruel word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Most of the stuff people worry about, ain't never gonna happen anyway.
Don't judge folks by their relatives.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good and honorable life, then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.
Don't interfere with something' that ain't bothering you none.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.
Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every morning'.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.
If you get to thinking' you're a person of some influence, try ordering' somebody else's dog around.
Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and enjoy the ride.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just shoot you!

How many puppies do you see?
These guys are just over 2 weeks old, are Pyrenees/Anatolian and are out of my guardian line.
I have seen a disturbing trend since moving down to Texas, and that's people selling pups as young as 4 weeks old. Pups should stay with mom forva minimum of 8 weeks and there are many reasons for this. First and foremost the health of your puppy not just physical but mental. Secondly alot of issues dont show their head until 8 weeks along, so it protects your investment. This is for all breed of dogs.
Now let's talk guardians, these guys should never leave mom until 10-12 weeks old. Between 7-10 weeks mom teaches them things like boundaries and manners that will take you a year to teach them. By 12 weeks they have learned how to patrol the property and safely keep predators at bay, how to interact with the livestock, and not to chase them. These are things that if you take them away early you now have yo teach them, as well as pack hierarchy. Which will take you a year to two years to teach your new pup, which sets them behind in guarding your livestock, also makes the dogs more people oriented than stock oriented which you dont want. You want your dog to be an independent thinker. I have people all the time tell me I have cute "fur babies" I correct them quickly. My dogs are not babies, they are my partners, when was the last time you entrusted a baby with 100 grand worth of livestock. They fail my family starves. Definitely not a pet either, they take the night watch so I can sleep, they keep my money safe from thieves both 4 and 2 legged variety. You want them to respect you, love you, but be independent from you. Guardians aren't babies, aren't pets, they are working not so silent partners.
So when searching for a guardian for your livestock go to a good breeder. One that understands their development and how keeping them with mom a minimum of 10 weeks is crucial for their job training. Please never buy one under 8 weeks of age, as it just perpetuates the problem of overbreeding and bad breeding. This is generally a practice of puppy mills and backyard breeders who want to spend as little on the pups as possible to make the highest profit. These little cuties will be available the end of May. They were born February 21 2022.
I will take deposits PM for more info.
