Northwood Farm

Interesting animal behaviour :
We have a livestock guardian dog on our farm, Lucie. She is a Great Pyrenees working dog. This breed’s traits were selected over decades with the specific purpose of guarding livestock.
Horses, being quite vulnerable when sleeping/lying down, often take turns sleeping so that someone is standing guard.
It’s not something we taught her, but Lucie seems to know this; so when the horses lay down to sleep, she often lays close to them, keeping watch so they can rest. Shows the power of purposeful breeding!
How amazing 🤩
