Anyone have experience with Doberman and livestock? I’ve been looking around for breed guidance in this area but haven’t found much apart from suitability as herd protectors - which we’re not considering.
We have goats and sheep and all of them are very tame and grew accustomed to our past dogs who were not chasers or aggressive with them. So they are kind of sitting ducks :/.
As you can pick up from the pic below, Birdie is currently more afraid of them (“are they looking at me???”) than they are of her but I would be interested to hear other experiences in this area. She also has a small amount of cattle dog in her so I’m watching for signs of herding instincts.
