LGD's have thousands of years being bred for maternal instincts. She saw the newborn kittens and just HAD to take them out and clean them. The Mother Cat wasn't mad, but she was befuddled trying to keep replacing them in the litter. See the next two pictures ...

So she takes one to bring to the other kitten she's already removed ...

She drops it and begins to clean. But the Mother Cat has just removed the grey kitten (again).

Pella was with me in the barn. Suddenly she flew out in a rage. I saw her flinging an object back and forth. But then she dropped it and forbid Bear to mess with it. When I got there I saw it was a young fox, lost presumably from her home. LGD's instinctively protect young things. This one, the ears on the left in the picture --was fine -- I set her loose back in the forest.

LGD's are agile! Capella is climbing through mangers to get to a closed Lambing Pen. Do not assume because you have fencing that it will necessarily contain the agile LGD.

In this State, people turn their hunting dogs loose to flush out whatever. These hounds run all over everyone's farms. Capella is seeing to it that the hound leaves the farm or dies. I am shooting this picture through Corey's ears. This is a sad picture for me. In February, Corey and Aurora drowned in a sudden flash flood. Capella was run over in April. In this picture you see my very best workers.
Corey a Paso Fino -- Capella a Kuvasz LGD.
