Livestock Guardian Dogs in Flocks
Shepherds still play an important role in livestock farming. Together with their herding dogs, they guide and care for flocks of various animals. Attacks on livestock by predators such as wolves or bears are becoming more common again, which is why shepherds need new strategies to protect their animals. One of these is the use of livestock guardian dogs, which live with the flock and are therefore on-site around the clock. Since you are now more likely to encounter livestock guardian dogs with strong protective instincts, especially on mountain pastures, we will explain the correct way to behave when you come across these dogs.
