Well, that is what E wants to name her, short for Minerva.
She is a 4 month old, 1/4 Anatolian 3/4 Great Pyrenees cross. As you can see from her markings, she got her looks from the Anatolian side. Since Bumble is 11 1/2 years old now, we have been casually looking for a new puppy. We finally found this one that had been raise with sheep and goats and not priced crazy high.
She already weighs 43 pounds.
We brought her home today and headed straight to the dog pen in the barn.
We caught Maggie and let her have a closer look. There was no aggression
so we turned Minnie out with Maggie.
Still no aggression, just a lot of doggy sniffing.
Ultimately, we decided to go with a pet goat to keep her company in the pen for a few days. Once she seems more comfortable with us and her new home we will turn her out with the rest of the goats and dogs.
Right now however, it is a standoff in separate corners.
She will have it all figured out in no time! She's pretty cute with that black face.
ReplyDeleteYou have certainly had some very fine guard dogs. I hope Minnie will be another great addition. She certainly will be easy to ID in the field.
