| Ari Bari's back, how did the test go? |
| Tenebris Hollow |
| told myself id never own another grey...yet here I am asking my mom to go try this grey gelding XD |
| Nolified |
| Buckeye, I agree, I'll see if I can find anyone to help me train them (a professional) whenever I get them in the future |
| Full Stride Farm |
| Ahhh Makes sense! Thanks! Haven't done the embryo thing too much, as you can tell |
| Willow Grove |
| Buckeye You use the sexed item when you use the embryo, not create it |
| Full Stride Farm |
| Min is 100% Training a sheep dog is not like training basic manners at all. Plus the welfare of the sheep are at stake if not done properly. |
| Full Stride Farm |
| Embryo folks - question: I have a sexed filly embryo token. But when I go to bet office to create embryo, it is only showing me the % off price of embryo tokens as items to ise. Do I need to create the embryo some other way? |
| Minerva |
| Haha very slick with that plug Buckeye xD Definitely agree though, and make sure you have someone to help you with lessons. A lot of sheep farmers I know end up sending their dogs away for training because it isn't as simple as showing them sheep and cracking on with it and it's SO important it's done right else your dog will cause more problems than it solves |
| Full Stride Farm |
| Noli, that's fine. Just get one with proper lineage and proven herding parents. Just happen to have pups now....lolz |
| Nolified |
| Buckeye, True, but I think I'll have enough time in the future to train the pup myself |
| Full Stride Farm |
| Definitely need to get the properly bred Border Collie for herding - and even then not every pup makes a super herding dog. Lots of time and training. There are already trained herding dogs available, but yo'u're going to pay for that service |
| Nolified |
| Lol, looks like i'll have to do a bit more research before I decide on which breeds to get .-. |
| Minerva |
| Also worth noting that being a collie doesn't necessarily make it a good sheepdog. At my old job we rounded up the sheep on foot and with a quad most of the time, as the lovely "sheepdog" was generally pretty shite xD Although he did save my arse when I discovered the tups had escaped while walking the farm dogs once bless him |
| The Old Gods |
| you're better off getting a dog breed that's designed for livestock guarding like pyranese, anatolian, or akbash |
| Full Stride Farm |
| If you want to guard livestock, you are better off to get a LGD breed like Great Pyrennes, Anatolian, or even a couple of donkeys |
| Dawnmist Stables |
| Just be aware Dobermans aren't outdoor dogs, have no undercoat. Though they can be happy if you get them a dog coat, used to do that for my pair when we went hiking in the snow |
