Diego
works as goat herder and farm protector. He is an
invaluable farm tool and family friend who sees his livestock as
an extension of his human family whom he adores. He
demands that the stock obeys his master's commands. He
works in an upright manner unless he needs to assert himself.
He will crouch at the goat who doesn't listen to him.
Diego moves the goats using shouldering and will often give them
the dominant stare to gain respect. He walks right up and
they move. He sometimes grips the unruly goat on the hock.
He always treats the babies with care. He will not quit on
the job. He is a natural gatherer who prefers to bring the
stock to you. He barks often when herding and is always on
the alert to return escapees to their proper place. He
will attend children while they play and protect them from human
intruders who he perceives as threatening. He patrols his
territory and barks an alarm appropriate to the situation.
Diego is highly concerned with routine and will discipline those
who break the rules. He is not concerned with vermin or
squirrels. He will attempt to chase pests away rather than
kill them.
