Tater (the pyr) is just over a year old~ so a teenager really. He looks smaller because we shaved him down this spring. He is a working dog~ a LGD (Livestock Guardian Dog) who lives with the goats 24/7. The goats live in the woods......so his coat was pretty knarly and nasty after the winter. We shaved him down so he could grow a fresh coat for the summer and hopefully cut down the number of hot spots he'll get this summer. Cricket (the Anatolian) is also and LGD and works with Tater~ she is a bit less than a year old......and she is already a bit bigger than Tater! And her coat is better suited to the job they do for me. We really love Tater and he does a great job~ but I'm not sure we'll be getting more Pyrs for the work in the woods~ the Anatolian is more work to train but her coat is better suited to keep her comfortable.
