Happy Independence Day! Remember to set your critters up for success this weekend. Dogs and cats might need good hiding places or distractions, while livestock will likely do best in a safe enclosure that allows them to move freely. Be extra cautious about critter safety, but don’t forget to have a good time!

This is an example of perfect livestock guardian behavior. This is a 2 year old dog and an 8 month old dog. They are calm, and watchful. They’ve stationed themselves at the goats’ 6:00 position, protecting the herd while they eat and are at their most vulnerable. THIS is the result of 6,000 years of intentional breeding and a ruthless selection of ideal working partners.
