Lilly is the definition of guardian nature. All she is and
does comes from a strong desire to care for, protect, and direct
her pack. She knows who belongs in her pack and may
attempt to chase off new arrivals unless they are properly
introduced. She is loving and gentle with the poultry and
tough enough to keep a hog in line. Lilly will attempt to
lead the goats in to the new pen, but if they don't follow
she'll go behind and gather the stragglers. She knows
which animals belong in which pens. One night during a
severe thunderstorm a tree fell on the fence in the horse
pasture. She and her pups guarded the hole for hours until
the storm was over and the fence could be mended. She
excels at alerting her master to things out of the ordinary.
As a young dog, two stray dogs came and tried to dig into the
barn. Lilly stood between the dogs and the goats and
barked until her master could get there. She has also
guarded her master from a mad mama sow. She would prefer
to avoid confrontation, but will stand her ground if forced to.
She has been taught to kill opossums and she will bring them for
her pups to eat. She is a territorial dog who doesn't
stray. She is an excellent hunter and will tree prey and
eliminates vermin. She is a soft dog who corrects easily
and may get discouraged if scolded severely. If another
dog gets scolded, Lilly will also scold that dog. She gets
along well with other dogs whom her master accepts. She is
friendly with strangers, but will announce their arrival. |
