WALTER / Kansas Farm Life / Midwest Small Farming / Natural Ranch Products / English Shepherd Farm Dog

 

milk shed 2 014

Walter is the name we have given our new 10 week old puppy.  Many days out of the year, the cows will not be ready to come to the barn when Brian is ready to milk,even though they are on a 12 hour schedule. Brian has to walk the fields to fine the cows and encourage them to come in.  Walter, an English Shepherd, an old breed of farm dogs, will help Brian bring the cows in from the pasture when he grows up.  He will help with predators, and just be a good working dog and companion for Brian.  He is so smart and already has learned the command to come and stay. Brian has had a lot of dog training experience.  When he was a young man working as a  security guard for a college in Pasadena, California,  Brian and the other guards spent much time training German Shepherds to help them work at night on the college grounds.  Brian’s dog was  Lad.  He would obey arm and hand signals from many distances away.  Never a word was spoken. This education Brian has should help make Walter in to a  terrific dog.
