Brick
has worked
sheep, goats, cattle, turkeys, guineas, ducks, chickens, cats.
He is very fast, so is very good for poultry, but likes to push,
so probably goats are best suited to his style. He is often too
fast and pushy for calm work of sheep.
A loose eyed upright dog, he only works when needed and walks right up to
the stock and makes them move. Brick likes to drive,
and while his natural style is gathering, he will practice
driving on his own and is always ready to set up for a drive and
go.
Brick will place himself between livestock and
strange dogs and people. Once when working on the driveway, the
neighbors' dog came by to see what the sheep were - he took off,
rolled him several times and chased him back onto his home
property, then came back to his sheep.Will chase off vultures
and hawks, as well as fox near his stock.
He will fly in to enforce his master's demands.
He is a fantastic alpha in the household and keeps everyone on
an even keel, humans included, by preventing fights before they
happen.
Brick
does not bark treed
- he has been selected for NOT barking! He has plenty of
prey drive and hunts and
eliminates pests and rodents.
Brick is moderately active, opinionated and
trainable. While he is very much a one person dog, he does
work out in public nearly every day, and has no problem
greeting strangers calmly and letting them pet him or shake
hands.
