Happy Mother’s Day to all the human moms, fur moms, step moms, mother in laws, expecting moms, grandmas, and moms up in heaven. ❤️ this world is a better place for having each and every one of you! 💐
Happy #FarmPupFriday from the newest addition to @parallel45farm !! If you haven’t met this little bear yet, this it Tove! She is a Sarplaninac livestock guardian dog and will be the last dog we purchase (for now 😉) to round out our livestock guardian dog breeding program! ❤️ the sarplaninac is from Macedonia and they are as common there as Pyrenees are here in the states! But not many people over here in the states know about them yet! They are called “Shars” for short! If you missed my announcement yesterday in stories, we are working on a week by week series of how we train our livestock guardian dogs from a puppy all the way up to working with their own with the stock! When it’s all said and done it will be a YouTube series and an IGTV!
Since starting our little farm 3 years ago, I think one of the things that has surprised me the most is the lack of knowledge of livestock guardian dogs in the “real world”. Yes, most farmers, ranchers, and hobby farmers have heard of LGDs, but when you talk to someone who doesn’t live this lifestyle on a day to day basis, you will frequently find that they have never heard of a livestock guardian dog, and certainly don’t know what their job is or how they do it. That being said, my three major tips to anyone considering getting an LGD would be the following:
Hello, my name is Annie, and my favorite activities include bouncing, hopping, getting scritches from my human mom, and standing on my brother whenever possible. 😆
Happy Monday from sweet Tove! 🥰
World, meet our new fur baby, Tove! You pronounce it “toe” (like on your foot) “vee” like you’re saying the letter “V” in the alphabet. Tove means gorgeous in Norse! 💪🏼 we started looking into getting a sarplaninac over two years ago before we got Sitka! I can’t believe we finally have one! She is so sweet and her personality is totally different than our other three dogs. I’m so excited to watch her grow and learn. But for now I’m soaking up all the puppy cuddles and carrying her everywhere because in a few weeks that will be really hard to do😅 she is 19 pounds and is 8 weeks old today! If you didn’t yet, check out my reel to see our trip to pick her up yesterday! 🥰
