She is not a pedigreed dog, but what a beauty she is. She is friendly with the kids; they ride on her back, but is also very protective of the farm and her family. She is also great with livestock too. She fiercely guards the sheep in the fields and is quick to alert us if something is amiss. We wouldn't trade her for the world!
