Our livestock guardian dogs (LGD) are Maxine and Charlie (short for Charlotte). Their names honor some of the previous residents of our farm. Maxine came to the farm as a young puppy early on in Fall 2009. Charlie came as a slightly older puppy in Spring 2014.
The Great Pyrenees is a traditional sheep guarding dog from the Pyrenees Mountains bordering Spain and France. Typically they live with the sheep and guard the flock. Ours roam the farm as a deterrent to the constant coyote pressure in our area.
