Boston
is fiercely protective of his family when they are working with
the horned Dexters. He uses a variety of weapons to herd
effectively. He will gather or drive to suit the
situation. He'll nip the hock or tail as needed in a
closer situation. If he cannot get a cow to move through
the gate, he may get in front and entice her to chase him into
the pen. He uses a crouching position, uses eye, and also
dominance postures to accomplish different tasks. He works
close and seldom barks. There is little need for guardian
ability on his farm. We don't know a lot about his
guardian ability, but when his cats were kittens he would play
with them and share his food bowl and pillow with them.
Now he still shares but they don't play anymore. Boss is a
moderately soft dog who takes instruction with little question.
He generally gets along with other dogs but is more tolerant off
his territory. He can be suspicious of unknown strangers
but accepts them when his owners tell him to.
