They are wonderful guardians and loving pets. They also do not eat huge quanities of food-most people asssume they do. If allowed to stay outside to guard the farm and its animals, they are nocturnal and will patrol all night. We bring our solid white, Opal in at night to keep her from keeping the neighbors awake. She can be solid red from our clay soil and will shed all the dirt and be white again. Our cats walk under her and she helps me herd the chickens in if they escape-too many wild critter hazzards to let them free range.danniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927115644696786196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-75736615047393655732013-05-24T14:00:06.973-07:002013-05-24T14:00:06.973-07:00Keeping livestock penned up is like carrying water...Keeping livestock penned up is like carrying water in a paper sack.
