Amazing Chivo

Chivo isn't a puppy anymore! He is an amazing, awesome guardian dog! We've seen him at work a couple of times - mostly around Bacon (the pig). The other day, though, Teryn gave Chivo a test! Teryn was riding a colt, and he knew the goats were across the hill from him. So he snuck up very quietly and hid behind a bush, then started making strange noises. Chivo did his job! He barked a warning to the goats and they bunched up, then he got between the goats and 'the threat.' He didn't attack, his MO is intimidation! Chivo has a very low, menacing, loud, bark/growl that would scare anything in it's right mind away! The attack might come when he gets older, and if the threat doesn't go away. I can't describe how amazing it is to watch him do what just comes naturally!! On a lighter note - when we feed him, Chivo comes up to us with a 'smile' on his face! I tried to get a picture - but anytime there is something out of the ordinary, he is on the lookout and doesn't cooperate!
