At the insistence of my daughter and grand daughter I acquired some white German shepherds - - - They are both 2 years old now totally unrelated - - - the next heat we will see if they can deliver on some good pups.
I have had the male (Max) about a month and got him started bringing up the weaned calves - - - SLOWLY AND CALMLY - - - I got the female ( Jasmine) on Tuesday. I have been working with the male and tied the two together the first day. Now after just a couple of times they are trying to work as a pair. Instinct coming thru!
The male is on the left - - - he decided he would take over from my 6 year old male Fritz and now has a slit right ear and a chunk out of he right front leg - - - this took about 30 seconds before I could separate them.
They probably will never be the working dogs a border collie is but I have had several good German Shepherd cattle dogs and 2 outstanding ones over the decades - - - This female had never seen a cow until she came here but really wants to please me and that is half the battle! If a dog wants to learn and you are patient they will out work several good cowboys and do not cost near as much to keep on the payroll!
