Re: [AlpacaTalk] Upright Alpacas

 

Dede is talking about having guardian dogs to protect the livestock.Many diffrent breeds to choose from.I have Great Pyreness and they are great with all the stock we have on the farm.It takes a canine to fight a canine off.Packed up neighbor dogs chase and kill for fun.They can take out Llamas even horses but if you have guardian dogs they have little chance because the guardian dog will fight to death to protect their animals!Yes my Pyrs believe the animals,barn,pastures belong to them.My pyrs watch over births,bark if they hear coyotes,run to the fence after anything that should not be around. Hope that helps! Tina in Missouri at Elkhorn Alpacas

I was just reading your comment.  I don't have alpacas, but always been interested in them.  I was wondering what an LDG as backup is??  Is that a Llama?          -------Original Message-------   From: hrpufnstuf13@yahoo.com Date: 9/3/2012 8:55:13 AM To: AlpacaTalk@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [AlpacaTalk] Upright Alpacas     My husband is facebook friends with the vet tech who aided these poor folks in VA. In fact, her profile photo is of her and two of the mauled crias ( before the attack ). People, it can happen to anyone, make sure your fences are designed to keep predators OUT, and your alpacas in. We use a six strand electric fence which our animals do not go near. We also have an LDG as back up... Nothing gets out, or in.
