Livestock guardian dog

Dog type bred to protect livestock

The livestock guardian or flock guardian dog is a type of dog bred to protect livestock from predators. Livestock guardian dogs stay with the group of animals they protect as a full-time member of the flock or herd. Their ability to guard their herd is mainly instinctive, as the dog is bonded to the herd from an early age.
