Lassie Boy is a great example of an all-round farmdog,
exercising exemplary judgment in his farm dog duties. He
uses his brain to assess situations and uses only the amount of
force called for when working with the stock. He herds
poultry gently, bringing them in from the woods at night so they
roost in the safety of the coup. He will use whatever
tactic is needed to move the goats. He insists that all
animals stay in their place and will work to keep them there, or
put them back if they escape. Lassie has also been known
to break up fights between pack members. He stands guard
over young stock, keeping other animals away. He will let
kittens eat from his bowl and chase stray cats away. When
a hawk or other predator comes around he will round up the stock
and put them inside. He patrols the borders early in the
morning to see that it is safe and free of predators. When
he returns, the poultry can be let out safely. He will
tree squirrels and eliminates vermin. Lassie is a very
intelligent boy with a mind of his own. He has selective
hearing, but his judgment is excellent and he often knows more
about the situation than his master, so he is forgiven. He
prefers dogs of his own pack and resents others. When
visitors approach he will bark but will quiet down and place
himself between his master and the visitor until he deems that
everything is safe. He is content to lie around the fire,
but is always ready to work when the need arises. |
