[Jacob-list] LGD's

[Linda]

I love my Pyr. I have some limited experience with other breeds, but the 
Pyrs seem to be naturally gentler with their sheep.
We have one Pyr at our leased pasture. He is not supposed to be free to 
wander, but it's hard to keep him in. We have sheep on both sides of the 
road so he watches both pastures.
We have a donkey here at the house.

I hope someone will respond to your question on training youngsters.
