Anyone in the area, heck I would even take a roadtrip to deliver if someone is interested. One of Shiggles pups has decided to chase and catch the baby goat. I assume this is behavior from which I will not be able to break her. She is half blue heeler and so this is part of her nature. If I needed a herd dog I would work with her. I don't.
If anyone might be in need of a rabbit dog that herds livestock let me know. I need to do this before she has the other dogs joining her. Pics show mom and pop, Shiggles and Chief. When they are all together she behaves. Once they split up and the baby goat wanders off she can't contain herself.
The two pups behind Shiggles and Chief are her siblings. I couldn't get a pic with her and Shiggles to give a size comparison. I call her Petunia. Excuse the trash in the yard. I pick it up on a regular basis. The dogs have decided they are the neighborhood clean up crew. I never know what I'm going to find in the yard.

Good looking dog. Sorry I can't help, one beagle is enough for me.
keep the dog get rid of the goats.
You can't milk a dog.
Sure you can, don't know if its legal. Don
Good luck with the adoption
i feel your pain, i bought 200.00 worth of dead goats from my neighbor once. had to rehome the dog.
Oh my. Not good. I have neighbors, actual neighbors, who live up the road from me. They have goats as well. I don't want to risk that happening.
I joke that the dogs are freeloading. I feed them. They lay around or chase things. At least the goats are finally eating the brush which is their job. Eventually I will have goat cheese and butter.
yes you will have it, but do you really want it???????????
Yes! I love goat cheese. Actually just about any cheese is awesome. I have a cheese drawer in my fridge. Haven't had butter made from goat milk. I love butter. It makes my steaks taste so much better. None of that fake stuff. The does provide milk and they are constant fertilizer spreaders. 😆
Plus, if the SHTF I will be prepared. Goats can forage on anything. I have a steady water source for them and when the time comes I can eat them and use their hide for leather.
