Livestock Guardians: Using Dogs, Donkeys & Llamas to Protect Your
Herd (Storey's Working Animals)
by: Dohner, Janet Vorwald
Predators are increasing in number and range. These predators pose a serious
threat to both farm animals and the financial well-being of the farmers
who raise them. Fortunately, there's a solution that is low cost, nonviolent,
and highly effective: livestock guardian animals. This book is a comprehensive
guide for farmers struggling to reduce predation of sheep, goats, and
other livestock. Dohner, who has more than 26 years of experience with
guardian animals, helps owners understand the keys to effective livestock
protection: careful selection of the right guardian animal, proper guardian
livestock bonding, dedicated training, and ongoing problem-solving. Several
chapters address the use of guardian dogs; these chapters explain how
to evaluate, train, understand, and socialize these hardworking canines,
along with info on guardian breeds from around the world. Additional chapters
on livestock guardian donkeys and llamas help readers select and train
these animals as well. The thorough coverage of livestock guardians includes
health care information; breed profiles; case studies of real farmers
effectively using guard animals; an appendix with resources, organizations,
and Web sites; and a 16-page color photographic insert of guardian breeds.
Many B/W illustrations & drawings. 229 pgs.
