Guess who earned her Puppy Chow last night? Briar works the Night Shift. When the rest of the dogs are snug and warm in the house, Polar Dog is at work. At 5:30 am this morning, Polar Dog announced there was an intruder in G'Ma's yard trying to get into the chicken coops. Her barking woke me and I let the rest of the pack out. With canine back-up, Briar climbed the fence and headed to the chicken coops. Blue Heeler, The Black Wolf, and Border Collie raced right behind her. The suspect (s) apparently ran underneath G'Ma's deck and got away. (short little buggers! probably raccoon or oppossum) I returned to bed with the rest of the pack and Briar resumed her patrols in my yard. When the sun came up, I looked out to find that instead of sleeping on the hay in my barn, Briar had climbed the fence again and like a Sphinx on guard, was on the icy deck between the chicken coops. The Boogey Beast did not come back for chicken dinner last night. Good Dog, Briar!

I have her as my pin up girl on the front screen at the moment where she is with mum sheep and the 2 lambs. This girl is working a treat and is really conscious of her territory. Well done Briar.

Bless her heart! It's two steps forward and one step back for her. She is becoming a great LGD, but has decided that jumping fences to bark at people OFF the property is okay too. Sooooo . . . we're examining the idea of hotwire again!
