Working Dogs - Anatolian Shepherd

by Edwina Molina
(Missouri)

I am a 60s something woman living alone and tending to a herd of 40 meat goats without help.

I truly believe I could not do this without the help of my Anatolian Nicki. She is always on the job guarding the goats from predators and I feel so much safer on my isolated farm knowing she will bark to warn of approaching strangers.

She is more than a dog. She is a working partner in this small farming enterprise.

Setting the Example

Edwina you set a great example for the rest of us.

I think your statement "She is more than a dog. She is a working partner in this small farming enterprise" really sums up the value of the dogs.

Thank you for sharing.
