Nanny has worked sheep at a herding clinic and
has cattle and poultry at home. She will work to assist
her masters whether at home with her own livestock or elsewhere
with strange livestock, and will herd independently at home when
she sees the need to return escapees to their pen, etc.
She wanders through the poultry yard but
doesn't bother the chickens goose guineas etc. She assists in
gathering moving and sorting the cattle at home. Nanny
sometimes grips the livestock on the heel and varies the
intensity of the grip to suit the type of livestock and
situation.
Nanny patrols at night and keeps the coyotes
away, and keeps deer out of the orchard. She routinely
hunts rodents and pests and eliminates them or attempts to drive
them away.
Nanny is gentle and protective toward Children
and does not show aggression to stock unless absolutely
necessary.
Nanny announces the arrival of strangers but does
not act aggressively toward them unless they pose a threat.
