Out at my Brother in law’s ranch, they have a variety of working dogs to perform different functions. German Shepherds keep an eye on the gate, the house/driveway. A trio of Rottie's make sure that the coyote's don't bother the duck and geese in the ponds. Some kinda little furry dogs live inside.

Australian Blue Heelers are on herding duty. Now I understand why they call them "Cow Dogs" around here.

I also figured out why my dog won't drink from their water bucket!

P'raps so, Marc, and they're bloody good workers but I beg for your own safety that you never call them a "cow dog" here in Oz. Fair dinkum, they'd cut your water off.

OK,

Since this is the second or third thread lately to indulge us dog-lovers, I figure I'll post a link showing ours.

This is a very OLD site, and was originally commercial in nature, but between hurricanes, work commitments, and some major home renovation projects, we haven't been breeding our dogs for several years - just never did take the site down.

Many of the links are no longer active, but be sure and check out "All About Missy"

She constantly nipped at the older dogs hind paws and tail. Had the poor old dog going in circles till we finally separated them.
