Hi Lewis, Can you please describe which traits ABs possess that could validate their possible success as a livestock guardian? I assume, as a livestock guardian, you are referring to a dog bonding with the herd and actually living with it. It is possible that you have seen ABs with characteristics no one else has. From the little I know, possessing high prey drive is SLIGHTLY incompatible with the role of a livestock guardian. I could be wrong, though. Regards :wink:
