Re: [AlpacaTalk] Guard llama question

 

Laura, have you noticed how, after becoming covered in mud, somehow, they managed to become clean and white, all by themselves?  This has always amazed me.
 
I agree with you that we will always have dogs with the alpacas.  I cannot imagine having livestock without them.  They are the reason we can sleep at night or leave the house for hours.  The thing that amuses us the most is the "lion's roar" that Anton produces when he wants to intimidate a potential predator.  It's the most impressive sound I've ever heard!
 
Best,
Sue

            I feel the same way about our Maxwell and Lulu, but after so much rain, mud, muck…………..they are about as nasty looking, yet happy, as any two muddy dogs could be!  They want to give me kisses, but I CAN resist them at this point.

            I think we will always have dogs in with the alpacas.  Actually, our two are in with our girls and cria.  Our boys have a guard llama and he isn't too fond of dogs.  I haven't tried putting my big white dogs in with him.  He watches them very closely but sounds his alarm when my sister's Great Dane comes to visit.  He also sounded when a beagle came strolling down our driveway.

Well, not necessarily!  I would love to bring our Pyrs into the house and cuddle with them inside.  But they are truly "outside" dogs who don't want to be locked up inside.  They are very work-oriented, and their herd is their life.  As long as they have good shelter with their herd, they are happy.  If you could see our Pyrs rolling around in snow or on ice, instead of staying inside the shelter, you would be shocked.  They love the cold weather, just like the alpacas do.  Still, it would be MY preference to have the fireplace and a doggie to keep ME warm, lol!  There isn't much that can compare to cuddling with a Great Pyrenees, the ultimate teddy bear!
