Livestock Guardian Dog Breeds

Let’s talk about those Livestock Guardian Dogs! Tara and Steph are fascinated by these big beautiful beasts and the purpose they serve in the farming and ranching industry. We do a short LGD intro and then dive into 6 of our favorite breeds!

Our shout out this week goes to Backyard Garden Seeds! We love supporting amazing small seed companies, and this one is truly a stand out! Check them out at Home and Garden | Backyard Garden Seeds
