Pow has worked sheep, cattle, goats, turkeys, chickens,
guineas, ducks, will herd cats and koi as well!
Pow rates well on most livestock and is able to handle
both his own stock and strange stock at trials.
Pow is very very dependable, good to work
as many hours as I need him, works with clients well and
is very flexible in chores. Has a good grip and uses it
on his own and when I ask.
He lacks a kill shake on prey, but does them in by
crushing with his jaws. Several days ago got a opossum,
will also hunt mice in the house. Recent problems with
foxes have put him on alert and he will chase and
attempt to catch foxes.
Pow is patient and will walk on leash with strange
children and do most of his commands for them. He
is very kind to young stock, and will make extra effort
to lean over the back of a baby to grip mom on the nose
if needed. He rarely grips babies, and you can tell by
the fact my lambs are very calm and obedient very early.
Very territorial. Attacks strange animals already in is
territory silently, taking them down to kill. I had to
save a neighbor's idiot dog that had gotten into my
fenced backyard - I had let Pow out and all I heard was
a squeak - went out and he had him by the throat. He
will chase off deer and foxes, as well as vultures and
hawks.
He will guard and bark at the fence and not let stangers
in, but when I'm there he is totally fine with strangers
and their dogs. Since I run a herding dog training
business, there are clients all the time, and he's
great.
I love this dog!
