I have spent the last few days on here, quietly reading all the posts of Sokol/Barry and having a good cry, alot of smiles and many laughs. I still mourn for my boy and so do Keevin and Quinten. Quinten saw photos of Sokol and instantly said, "KOL!"
Things are going well here, and I am working on a new project. I am putting together a pack of dogs and taking them to Oregon to work on a couple of ranches there during their calving season. These ranches are having problems with the Canadian wolves that were transplanted into the US.
Sheep ranchers are losing whole flocks of sheep in some cases, as well as their dogs. I was asked for some input on the situation by a few ranchers, and the thought came to do some trials with different breeds of LGD to see if we can find the type of dogs that can withstand the assault from the wolves.
I will spend my time there with the dogs while they are working, and will film and photograph as much as possible of the whole time I am there.
I will not be taking any of my personal dogs on this trip, as they are needed here on my farm.
I know that some had expressed interest in the working dogs, their pecking order process etc....so, I thought I would start this thread to answer any questions that any interested in the dogs might have.
