Hi!
Rhonda...Just saw your posting. I am interested in the Guard dogs.
We have a donkey, which has been effective so far. But we are looking at
expanding the herd and we may need more than the donkey. As you said,
there are a few stray dogs and coyotes in the area.
We also live in central Texas
so it would be easy to find you. However, we are North of Austin and
South of Waco.
How much are these dogs selling for? And how big are they? Thanks
for any info you can give me on them.
The web site has been such a big help and I'm getting educated in every aspect
of raising Blackbelly's. It's just really interesting to see all the
comments and expert advice. Thank you.
Linda

livestock guardian dogs
Hi! This is my first post on
this site. Thank you for allowing me in.
I have some blackbelly barbado
ewes and a scurred red ram. I was completely unaware that the real
blackbelly rams have no horns.
The ranch is located in Central
Texas just west of Austin in the great Hill Country! We also raise
cattle, spanish goats, and hair sheep. We protect all these critters
with Livestock Guardian Dogs. And just so happens we have some pups for
sale.
The pups were born May 19, 2004
are Sarplaninac / Maremma crosses. There are 7 black puppies
available.
I haven't seen any posts about
Livestock Guardian Dogs on the site and was wondering if anyone has any
predator or stray dog problems. If it wasn't for the guard dogs we would
have only cattle as mostly stray dogs, and a few coyotes, like eating lamb and
kid.
I have found your blackbelly barb
site quite informative.
