Pip is a
certified search and rescue dog who has seen much of the world.
She visits farms frequently and has been worked formally on
sheep and ducks. She has spent time around poultry, goats,
sheep, horses and cattle. Pip will not bother these
animals on her own but shows a keen desire to help once her
master gets in the fray. She will often grip on the butt
and varies the intensity to suit the stock. She uses
dominance postures to control the stock and she rarely barks
except with sheep at clinics. Pip is extremely nurturing
with kittens and is protective toward young poultry. She
is gentle with (and slightly amused by) kid goats. She is
an enforcer and demands that all critters obey the rules and act
appropriately. She is a diligent groundhog killer and
delights at their erradication. She is independent minded
but trainable and seeks to achieve whatever end goal with her
master.
