Help us welcome Tsuki and Cooper! They are Livestock Guardian Dogs (LGD’s) who will be on patrol in our newly constructed back goat pen. They are both from a fabulous rescue for LGD’s in Kentucky and we are so excited to give these dogs a forever home.
Tsuki is a 2.5 year old Anatolian/Great Pyrenees mix (heavy on the Anatolian) and Cooper is a 3 year old Great Pyrenees/Anatolian mix (heavy on the Pyrenees). Both previously lived on other farms and with goats and were surrendered when their families lives changed and resulted in moves or divorces where they no longer had farms.
They are settling in great and will have a few days without goats to worry about while they decompress from their 850 mile journey to their new home, learn our routines and get to know their territory and get some much needed rest.
They are both already patrolling their new pasture and alerting to birds of prey, any perceived threat and trying to figure out what those little lizards are that are everywhere!
There’s a heavy coyote, bobcat and fox presence behind us as well as possums and raccoons. Hoping we can actually have chickens again as both Tsuki and Cooper are poultry safe too!
In 2 weeks they will be charged with helping us raise up an Anatolian/Great Pyrenees puppy, Bogatyr (Bogey) so we can ensure we have another dog at the ready when Tsuki and Cooper hit retirement age.
Welcome home Tsuki and Cooper. We’re looking forward to many years of partnership with you!
And don’t worry, we still have Faith and Argus out with our milking herd. They are also welcoming a puppy, Kozar, in a couple weeks as Faith is turning 7 next month and starting to slow down a little. Most farms add a new dog every 4 or so years so there’s a dog ready to move into a lead role as one transitions to a more relaxed role as they age.
Huge shout out to Rubie and Jon at
LIVESTOCK GUARDIAN DOG RESCUE/REHOMING - LGDRR for pairing us up with the perfect dogs and transporting them all the way to Florida. If you’re looking for a LGD, they have many dogs still waiting for their second chance and forever homes. They thoroughly vet all the dogs and know them inside and out and really take the time to pair the perfect dog with what your needs are. Can’t say enough good things about them.
