Meet Doug: Our Loyal Livestock Guardian Dog

There’s a new guardian on the farm, and his name is Doug! Doug is our Maremma Sheepdog, a breed known for its unwavering dedication to protecting livestock. While he may be big and fluffy, make no mistake—he takes his job very seriously. His mission? To guard our goats from predators and keep the farm safe.

Maremmas have been used for centuries to protect flocks from threats like coyotes, mountain lions, and stray dogs. Doug watches over our goats day and night, always on high alert. He blends in seamlessly with the herd, forming strong bonds with them and ensuring they feel secure. But while he’s all business when it comes to predators, he’s nothing but sweet and gentle with us.

Doug has already proven himself as a dedicated guardian, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have him on the farm. Whether he’s patrolling the pasture, keeping an eye on the mischievous “Goat Mafia,” or enjoying some well-earned belly rubs, Doug is an irreplaceable part of our team. Welcome to the farm, Doug! 🐶💛
