Hi, just what kind of stock dogs would drive off a cougar and also not be
dangerous to people?   Jean  PS I am in a rush so have not had time to read
all of my mail.  Our newspaper is going to give me coverage about the cougar
which should alert people in the area.

Janet you are right on. I  am a true beleaver in the value of imprinting and
doing the work with ropes on their legs. They are forever safer and so are
you. I also beleave that the imprint work must be kept up.  NO mattter what
medical emergency they get into it is so much easier when they trust and love
people.   As for Cougars they  are overly plentiful here. We rely on our stock
protection dogs. They certainly work the night shift. We have 8 babies this
year and  the beaars acougars are all down low in the valley due to the fires
and drought. Our stock dogs are so valueable keeping cougars away from the
stock and bears out of the orchard for the most part. Some BIG bears just
don't pay attention tho.

Casual or fancy fjords are the greatest.
