Jeanne Joy Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 May be of interest to some. The Department of Interior has been testing ways to implement stockdogs in their management programs for several decades. In 1987, I was honored to be part of their bison project using Australian Shepherds. Here a Border Collie is being used to manage mountain goats and bighorn sheep. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/news/2017/03/10/glacier-national-park-bark-ranger-dog/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesg Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Wow! Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed perusing this. I love how adopting a BC mix has opened a whole new world of interesting things that I never would have learned about, otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanne Joy Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I can totally relate to that. I was doing contract work during that season of my life, so it worked out well for me. I was blessed to have family minding the home fires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smalahundur Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Both cases described in that link are accidents caused by extreme stupidity of the visitors involved. How stupid do you have to be to stand 3 to 5 feet from such an animal? You are not living in a disney movie for crying out loud!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
