How to be a big dog...

The puppy really wants to be a good big dog, but she has a lot of training to go.  We only let her out with the animals under strict supervision, she is only five months old and hasn't learned self control.

But the other night we were out working, and the chickens were heading to nest for the night, so she ran off on Vegas' heels to be a big protector dog.  They were a good distance across the property from me, so the photos aren't much to speak of, but they were such fun to watch!  

Vegas would bark and alert, and Shadow would watch and do just as he did.  They aren't completely on the same page yet, but she wants so bad to be like big Vegas and do what he does, that I have to have hope for the future of her training.

So, I thought I would share these little photos of the mentor and the student so you could see the little apprentice farm doggie and the old master in action!  Hope you have a great day!
