[quote=Tiago] 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:[/quote] I don't think you are wrong at all. LGDs need to have defensive drive which gives them a sense of property. Most prey driven dogs do not have this as a natural occuring trait. It could be trained but as on of our members so aptly stated - hardware is more reliable than software. To guard livestock I would use an LGD.
