Coire is
excellent at sorting sheep. His master will point to "that
one" and Coire will casually walk up to them and then pounce and
hold the sheep there until his master comes to his side.
He herds goats from one pen to the other. He is an
incredibly stout-hearted dog who took on an alligator that tried
to eat a new pup. He also became injured while defending
the house from an intruder. Coire shows extreme interest
in all infant stock and has even been known to carry a lamb up
to the house. He knows his territory and stays home to
defend it. He uses tracking skills to find rodents and
other pests and chases them away. He loves his people and
is wary of strangers. He is jealous of the grandchildren
that visit and resents their presence. |
