Personally I think she is probably too young to
fight off aggressive dogs. She's still a baby herself. With age
comes experience. I personally wouldn't expect that young of a dog to be
able to protect a flock. My pyr is 6 years old and and while she has never
been put to the test, I would hope with her age that she would protect my goats
and chickens. She loves being with them, and even tolerates the one
whether buck butting her from time to time.
When she hears coyotes in the distance her whole
body reacts. She stiffens and emits a low growl, which turns into a louder
growl then into barking. She seems to be very protective of her
flock. I don't know if the coyotes stayed away because of her last winter,
or if I was just lucky. I like to think it was because of her
presence.
Whether this young LGD was cowering in the
corner with goats or took them there to protect the ones she could, is the main
question. I personally think she probably took them there. If he
doesn't want a refund, then he must have some confidence in her too. I
hope that there are no more problems with dog attacks. It would be nice if
she could get larger and appear to be a bigger threat to predators.
