dogs

This is probably a question that’s been asked numerous times but we have dogs that never seem to stop chasing my goats when they’re out in pasture, so what’re some good methods to stop them from doing so? My most effective method is keeping them in when the goats are out, but that goes by quick...

I apologize if this information is already somewhere else on the site, and I failed to find it. I'm trying to plan a yard and shelter for two pet Nigerian dwarf wethers and need to know the space requirements. (It's legal I checked.) I don't have other pets or kids currently, So I can easily...

I'm located in a rural part of southwestern Virginia, so for the majority if the time it's peaceful and quiet here. Unfortunately, the neighbor with the smallest distance between my land and theirs owns two very territorial dogs who are not afraid to be vocal toward me. The past few days I have...

Duke and Walter were found dumped at about 2 months old. They were full of worms, ridden with fleas, and were very sick. We believe that would have been their last day of life. We were coming home with 2 livestock guardian puppies and a goat in our car, when my Mom said, "Those were either...
