Rooster
has tremendous herding and guarding skills. He is the iron
fist in a velvet glove. He uses just the right amount of
force to accomplish the task. He is patient with the lambs
but will enforce on any adult that confronts him. He once
grabbed the ram by the nose when his owner was threatened.
Rooster is very concerned with keeping order and will see that
the farm rules are followed and that the stock is in its proper
place. He uses dominance behaviors to control the stock
and works up close with very little bark. When he nips it
is usually on the heels or hock. He is highly interested
in the babies and cares for the new lambs. He once located
a lamb out in the pasture, helped with doctoring it, defended it
from the other dogs and mourned when the lamb died.
Rooster recognizes his own stock. He is very territorial.
He stays on his territory, chases away predatory birds, patrols
the perimeter and strongly resents the intrusion of strange
dogs. Rooster is very protective of his owner and has
responded with extreme aggression when he believed she was
threatened. He will attempt to kill snakes. He has had no opportunity to tree prey but has
assisted in digging out and killing woodchucks. He
routinely hunts vermin and eliminates them. He is a very
soft dog who corrects easily, but does not get discouraged.
He generally gets along with other dogs and is especially
tolerant of children. He is reserved and somewhat
suspicious of strangers until they have been accepted.
Then he solicits petting and attention.
