Pearl is
a territorial girl with a strong desire to hunt and keep her
yard free of all gophers and ground squirrels. She is very
protective of her property, barking heartily at visitors until
told not to. She has had some exposure to sheep in a
formal training setting and possesses some instinct. She
has gotten to work with cattle at a sale barn on a few
occasions, where she looked to her owner for instruction and
confidence. Pearl has had no exposure to newborn or young
livestock and cannot be assessed for guardian nature. She
is fairly soft. Pearl needs a calm, assured handler whom
she can trust. She was purchased as an adult after being
rehomed by her original owner and breeder. Pearl had a
rocky upbringing where she displayed excessive aggression when she felt her home, territory
and pups were threatened. However, she rebounded well
with a new home and more self-assured handlers whom she
trusted.
