Gyp is an intelligent girl with a magnificent power of
discernment. She knows what is pack and what isn't.
She is gentle enough to herd chickens but shows enough force to
keep the neighbor's cows away from her territory. Gyp
shows a motherly guardian nature, protecting her chicks, cats,
and children from other dogs. Gyp will stay with the
children, shielding them from harm. She is a very
territorial dog who stays home. She observes predatory
birds and chases them out. Stray cats and dogs are not
permitted to enter her yard. Gyp immensely enjoys treeing
prey and loves to chase rabbits. She routinely hunts
vermin and eliminates them. She is a very willing fighter
even if faced with large or vicious prey. Gyp is a
moderately soft dog who is very intune with her people.
