what's my biggest pet peeve well it's when someone makes a text post on tumblr dot com in which they are trying to romanticize the notion of the livestock guardian dog but they don't know the distinction between a livestock guardian dog and a herding dog and also they've never met a livestock guardian dog and do not realize what their attitudes towards the sheep that they protect actually are

#a livestock guardian dog does not desire to possess the sheep that it protects I promise that's not the vibe #a livestock guardian dog is biologically conditioned to guard thing. I have heard multiple stories of livestock guardian dogs who #somehow get lost and just decide to start guarding a random deer and her fawn #like hedging my bets found an ungulate. just going to guard it now #I LOVE LGDS THEYRE THE PERFECT ANIMAL.#gourd dog
