Solomon
is a great all-round farmdog and family. He has a small
farm consisting of a few cows, a horse, some chickens, and
geese. He has not had any training but when he was about
4-months-old he began going to bring the cows up when they were
called. When herding, he is concerned about keeping the
group moving along together. He will sometimes nip the
stock on the neck or nose. He works close and uses his
bark to instruct the animals along with body positioning.
Solomon adopted a calf that was born. He has chased off
hawks and owls that have been after the fowl and has killed
opossums. He is good and staying home, resents the
intrusion of strange dogs on his territory, regularly patrols
the borders, and announces visitors. Solomon is adept at
killing varmints. He was encouraged to kill his first
opossum and all varmints are fair game thereafter. He is a
confident dog that should be able to take on whatever predator
arises. He is an independent thinker who is strongly
bonded to his family.
