- Basics of raising guardian puppies. Guardian dog puppies are a great asset to a farm that needs predator protection. For more grazing tips, check out my books on our website: greenpasturesfarm.net.
AMEN, you owe it to your pups to protect them against Provo, distemper & rabies at the very least! They are there to protect your animals , give them the respect they deserve
I guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot my password. I love any help you can offer me!
@Anderson Benicio i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Anderson Benicio It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account!
@Adrien Dakota happy to help xD
Exactly. I can't stand these anti-vaccine morons. If you have the opportunity to prevent a disease, then not taking that opportunity is negligent.
My wife made us watch this one twice and she says it's the best video on UA-cam ever by far lol. I look forward to following their development.
I’m jealous Ben’s getting some sugar. The lessons just get better and better . As usual thanks so Much For the wealth of knowledge you are willing to share. God’s blessings to all at Judy Farm. Especially Ben and Isaac!!!!
BIG KUDOS to you Mr Judy for advocating Parvo prevention!!! I have all the respect to the folks who don't believe in vaccines, however I have a hard time feeling sorry for them for being stupid when death pays them a visit. I have NO pity for them. I feel for the poor animal that lost it life because of the owners dumb beliefs. I'm sure I'll get lots of hateful mail, but I have to get my thoughts out to you. Thx for all you do and keep up the good work!
Somehow your "all the respect in the world" drips with a lot of contempt and hatred. It actually sounds more like Greg Judy vaccinates because it is cheap, easy, and he thinks it works, and not because some great philosophical conviction. Worming also works and if it were just as cheap and easy I bet you he would be worming the sheep and you would be saluting him for saving them from parasite death.
@@pravak6745 I have NO contempt for those who DON'T vaccinate, I know first hand what pain animals (Canine) go through when they get Parvo and die. If you are not one to vaccinate, good for you. I just hope you are able to find a cure for the many maladies that can occur without vaccine. Best of luck!
BTW here in TX you can get a 6 in 1 shot for about 8 bucks. It's not expensive but it definitely works. What ever works best for your needs.
@@pkfam6275 I don't doubt that you've seen the pain and death of a dog sick from parvo, but I wonder if you've seen the death and debilitation that can come from the vaccine (not a "cure"). It is not really a black and white issue. I never said I have the answers, but I'm sure dogs don't get sick because they have a vaccine deficiency any more than Greg Judy's sheep have an antiparasitic chemical deficiency. Parvo kills from dehydration. If it is detected early and the dehydration is addressed Parvo is absolutely treatable. FYI there are good yt videos on parvo treatment.
@@pravak6745 true Parvo can be treated unfortunately not CHEAP. If it can be PREVENTED, why not take the precautions to insure your animals will not have to suffer with the symptoms it causes. I wonder if you have a treatment for RABIES? When you do I hope you will share it on UA-cam. Best wishes to you.
@@pkfam6275 And therein lies the crux of the problem I have been trying to point out but not getting through. From what I can tell you presume that the only prevention is a vaccine and the only treatment is a drug. There are preventative measures that can be implemented in all cases of infectious diseases and there are non-pharmaceutical approaches to treatment. Greg Judy proves it in the case of parasites in sheep yet paradoxically he's drugs and needles when it comes to his dogs. Baffling. That's all I'm saying. Rabies? Lightning strikes are more common. Best wishes to you too.
I believe in Parvo shots also. Beautiful pups.
Beutiful puppies ,and you treat them so well ,very good your so right ,never hit a puppy or babies.
I hope you have more videos of the pups as the grow and learn.
Yeah, puppy videos on UA-cam are like printing free money; even working guard dog puppies. Just make sure "Puppy/ Puppies" is the first word of the title and your thumbnail is a close-up of an adorable puppy mug.
GREG, i found most dogs dont know their jobs till their a year old!! and yup i believe in the big three (3) shots, parvo,rabies,and distemper. that is a nice litter of future workers!!
Yes rabies /distemper /parvo a must. Unless you want your pack to go down like old yeller. Old yeller was organic, look how that turned out.
@@MrOrcslayer i "lost" to many "free" puppies to parvo and distemper! albeit it was only two(2), that was way to many in my opinion
I have to agree on the big 3 shots. We had a beagle come in contact with Parvo but lived. That was a changed dog and horrific to witness. Rather be safe than sorry, though I'm not a huge believer in over vaccinating when it's really not necessary for most things when your animals have strong immune systems.
As a Long-Time dog owner ...I concur w the Big 3 Shots.
** I Add in the Tick Vax for Lyme Disease 🦠
At what age do you start the shots? I know they say 6 weeks but I’m not sure I want to wait till 6 weeks+ to get them out on pasture with out goats
Totally love them!! Hope to have a similar dog when I get land.
Please do constant update videos on the pups! Great content
The way I acclimate my Guardians to the flock is simply keep the Mom and pups with the Flock. They learn from Mom, and bond with the flock. I use two different breeds, Kangals and Boerboels. Boerboels stay close to the Flock and Kangals will range and hunt down the offending predators.
I just got my pure Anatolian at 10 weeks from a ranch where mama was top guardian of 200 cattle, 300 sheep and numerous poultry. I actually chose her because her mother is a fierce hawk killer and protects the birds as well as the sheep, cattle. But I took her home and am still nervous, my chickens are pets. I'm hoping 10 weeks is a really good amount of time to have learned chickens are friends, especially since her incredible mother is such a great guard dog. But we only have a blue heeler and there's no way I'm leaving my puppy alone outside at night brand new like they say.
Thank you Greg for promoting Parvovirus & vaccinations for puppies & dogs! It comes in on our feet from outside our environment and impossible to prevent without vaccinations. I've even seen a huge die-off of coyotes way out in the country where I lived. Vaccinations are great. Nothing more heartbreaking & expensive than losing a whole litter of puppies❤️
you guys are great...parvo is baaaad news...i had a pup w parvo and it turns FAST until treated...great job friends!
The Guardian puppies are nice and healthy. YES, Guardian dogs AND family dogs ALL should be Parvo prevention. Even shelter dogs can die in a matter of days if they don't get the Parvo vaccine. If you get a shelter dog, make sure they give you the vet records. That wat you can have peace of mind. Love your set up Mr.Judy. I love animals period and it does my heart good to see a well oiled place.
Very Beautiful Puppies. Glad to see how you raise your Guardian Dogs. Congratulations on having 3 already sold. Just goes to show how good your Guardian Dogs are. God Bless and Peace Be With You All
Beautiful pups. I hope they will be a blessing to many, as intended. :)
Nice pups. We have a litter due first of DEC. A little cool then, but we are going to have to start feeding hay soon. Finally getting rain. A little late, but we'll take it.
Oh they are so sweet! 💕
Now that was a good dang video right there! Real good. Cutest darn pups. I love your explanations Greg. You make it easy for people. Pups, sheep, cattle, grass. Yes sir!
Such picturesque land.
can we get an update video on the cocklebur field and the completed ponds? Thanks
I think you might just have added a whole new set of viewers! Those puppies are very good PR! I’m glad they get a little bit of human interaction and that raising them is not a completely hands off experience. Dogs fulfill so many roles in our lives. As long as they are fit for purpose it’s a win win situation.
I try to do everything natural on our place, but I'm right there with ya on the parvo shots. We almost lost a second pup to it before we figured out what was going on. Not anymore. Parvo shots for all.
Get me on your started LGD list Greg. I work with sheep producers in Idaho that graze forest allotments and I'm interested in introducing this type of LGD cross. Great videos!!
Please email him. It’s just luck if he sees this comment
They are adorable!! I want one, but we don't have our homestead yet.
Beautiful pups.
Can you please a make a video about how you manage the grazing of your rams most of the year, outside of breeding season?
That's a darn fine mess of pups. I'm with you on the shots. Parvo, distemper and rabies at minimum. A normal 5 way puppy shot is cheap enough insurance for things that the yotes and raccoons keep running through the environment.
Where are yoy located?
very cute.
Hey Greg. Thank you for this video! Would you mind sharing the measurements for this “pup tractor”? Also, what do you use for the “roof bows” to keep the tarp pitched over it? Thanks again! You’re helping us so much as we learn!
So cute puppies
excellent Video
I've got what I think would have been a good guardian dog. He's half Great Pyrenees, adopted from TX. He was in the animal hospital at 8-10 weeks with parvo. He survived, but a couple of his litter mates died. At 14 months, he tested positive for heartworm, despite taking Sentinel on the 25th of every month since he was 10 weeks. Now at 21 months I think he's 100%. Great dog, but man he doesn't listen. He'd rather be on his own, barking, and enjoying the foul weather.
Glad he is okay now. Some guardian dogs definitely have a mindcif their own.
Yep, a barking dog only when something is around. I never did any guard dog training with my black lab/shepherd female. But she is a fantastic watchdog.
People are not interested in finding out if she will bite either. And the coyotes around here stay far away from here. When I was gone to settle my little brother & mothers estates they said the coyotes would come right up towards the back door of the houses. Now that we are back it doesn't happen anymore.
What a fun video
As a dog owner, Its a sad sight to see 9 puppies one by one drop dead everyday because of Parvo.
It's viscous. It killed my pup. Have a new one now, hope it makes it. It's been vetted. We want to adopt a big dog since we had two large dogs but they kept killing my chickens and I don't like a dog that's tied down all the time. Had to give them away.
@@thebleathouse1135 Not just chickens but even my goats. Other breeders likes feeding their dogs fresh meat and eggs. I don't. I cooked them. For my own case, I see the difference my old dogs who tasted blood and my new dogs raised up with cooked food. When my old dogs died of old age? I never have the problem.
For Parvo. I have to take the dead pups far away from the property. Burn them first , then burry them. The old folks told me, pups can still get Parvo from the ground. And we all know dogs likes to dig.
@@kapiatgatas
Yes- Parvo can stay dormant in the ground for two years. Any dog scratching or even walking on the area can catch it.
I found a serious disinfectant that vets use, and saturated the ground that my Parvo contaminated pups were on - thoroughly. It seemed to work. At least nothing ever caught it again. Also bleach can work. Then again- I always give the shots right away also.
Was going to ask what you do about Parvo, but you finally mentioned it at 09:20. I'm way too paranoid to leave my pups out on pasture until they've had their second parvo shot. Anyone who says you shouldn't vaccinate an LGD pup is ignorant to the point of malfeasance.
Absolutely parvo , distemper shot.
Love the cage you made out of sheep panels do you have a video of how to make one ?
I Add in the Lyme disease Shot - to the Big 3 shots.
As my dogs spend lots of time Outdoors amongst Tick infested fields.
Greg, you have too few videos on building pasture. You need to come down to Arkansas and see some of these farmed out pastures.
I am thinking lime, potash and seed and animals. This is the end of year 2 for us.
We saved our 5 week old puppy from Parvo by feeding her Cream of Wheat (she got it the first week we had her). Absolutely got her vaccinations as soon as she healed.
Next time you go through your flock could you point out some quality ewes and some culls like you have with the cattle please?
Nice litter.
This cross sounds amazing. How are they working foryou
Greg, what do you do with the puppies when you move their cage?
I raise Pyrenees/Anatolian/Maremma cross, born in with the sheep raised up in with the sheep, have had good results this way. The older working Guardian dogs take care of the on the job training, they bond well with the sheep and the sheep participate in the bonding and training around lambs. Working Guardian dogs are far better at training than we are for this job, it's natural. I also highly recommend a 5-way-with Parvo vaccination for puppies, and if you sell one that has not completed the series quarantine for 2wks if the people change their mind as the risk would not be worth it (but you always want to be able to stand behind your pups). I am quite sure that Mr Judy does.
Pretty dogs
Are these good for watching over chickens too?
How many dogs to guard how many sheep, would you suggest?
How are you keeping other intact male dogs away? And your male from following his drive to not run off and mating with other in heat females?
Page appears to be down. How much are they going for?
I'm worried about that white bucket of water. A little deeper than they are tall, if they get upside down in there they are done....
Yup. That's definitely something to worry about. Hope he sees your post!
The puppies do fine with the water bucket. We started with a smaller one, they climbed in them and dirtied up the water. This bucket works great.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher ok still worried though
@@drumminjohn6626 yes we lost a baby yorkie in that manner. It was a mini and the older larger puppy bumped the tiny one when drinking and inhaled water 1200.00 later it died. There just babies and need protection.
Where I am from, you can have up to 4-5 even 6 feet of snow in the pasture, so there's no way a sheep can go underneath that to get some grass sadly. Especially if there's ice somewhere in between the layers of snow.
Your right, no grazing in those conditions
You found the pups?
Always PARVO shots. Yours move from your land to new land and you just don't know if it is lurking on you property.
Hi we live by a highway with 37 acres and we need to train them to stay off the highway. Any tips on that
Hey Greg! How do you train your puppies to respect your electric fence? I have a two strand hot wire fence and a lot of people are saying that won't keep a puppy in. Just wanted to know your thoughts on this. I know you usually have on wire for your cross fences
Use Poultry electric netting to introduce them to electric. When you put them in the netting, run 2 polybraid offset wires 4 inches apart and 4 inches from the netting. Have a switch that you can shut off immediately if one of the puppies gets tangled in the wire. When you first put them in, you need to sit there about an hour to ensure they all get shocked and they realize what it was that shocked them.
I'm new here n love what I hear so far..subscribes!!!
What about faeces contamination on the grass? Can this not cause Sarcocytosis?
Greg, at what age do you release the pups into General Population with the big dogs? And how long do you keep the pups on Purina Puppy Chow (assuming you use “Complete or maybe “Large Breed” version of Purina Puppy Chow ?)? Thank you in advance for your answer. Im re-watching all your LGD videos to get re-blued as our Pyrenees is due in three weeks… trying to get ahead of the curve and get everything prepared.
1st Make sure you worm the pregnant dog right now. If she whelps and has any worms, the pups get infected with them and she loses weight trying to nurse them all. Puppy Chow is fed for 3 weeks after weaning, then normal dog feed. Pups are turned in with big dogs as soon as they are weaned.
Do you have any pups left?
Put that breed down in writing!! Also can they be trained to guard poultry? How much do you get for them? Where are you located?
7:40 a good nights sleep is only 365 days away folks order yours today!
OMG could they be any cuter?!
Many years ago when I was a kid, I watched a documentary that had a Basque shepherd training a guardian dog puppy.. The shepherd imprinted the puppy on the sheep by having it nurse off of a ewe. Does anyone else do that?
how tall is the back of your average cow?
48-50" hip height
I've lost a few pups at different times and places due to parvo and that's a horrible way to die. I'll never go without getting new dogs that shot.
Any pups available yet? Thanks
Yes give parvo, 5 way. its pain full on them, Eats there guts up. Give them the 4 every 2 weeks. Worm them every 2 weeks, hook round worm.
What keeps the rodents out of the dog food? What kind of sheep do you have?
The metal door has a magnet that holds it shut when the dogs are not eating.
Cheers
I'm curious why you feed your dogs kibble. It just seems that you'd be the type to feed them a more natural diet for dogs. But maybe you've tried that and there are things I'm not aware of that are issues with doing that for livestock guardian dogs. Have you ever tried having your dogs on raw food?
Look at those tails waggling back and forth!
Where are ya'll located...?
I need.a trained farm dog...How much ya sell them for...?
#naturalgramma wants to add haired sheep next year, maybe in #aluminumchickentractor, I think it will work for small producers!
What do you guys think?
Natural Gramma LLC RevHank and Laura Reid
There will be an issue with them not getting enough forage. I guess if you moved the cage 4-5 times a day it might work.
First got the idea with Amish that can not use electronic fence. They want to rotate something with turkey and hens, so we suggested lambs to grass finish. Yes it would be at least four moves a day. They mostly have children at home that cane move them. I guess moves would depend on forage quality & height also. Maybe 8-10 lamb iva 120 square foot tractor?
I am open, I have sen some metal cages doing this.
#naturalgramma RevHank and Laura Reid
I dont like vaccines for the most part but, I think there is an exception for a few.
How much are your puppies?
We set a 3 month old pup in with some young lambs, a few days later he is chasing them and playing too rough. Set him in a pen with some yearling lambs, they are too rough on him. What's next?
Keep him with older sheep until he grows out of his puppy playing stage.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Yessir!
Very AWESOME ❤
How do you keep the dog feed from the sheep? My sheep think dog food is candy!
We have several videos detailing our sheep proof automatic dog feeders.
is one fine, or do 2 work better together? Are male or female better guard dogs?
2 trained dogs work well. 2 puppies together can get in trouble.
We have both male and females. Equally good guardian dogs in both sexes.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.
Weaning at 8 weeks is optimal, that last 2 weeks with momma is vital. Well proven fact.
How much are your pups
Our neighbors kept cattle in with a strand of barbed wire that low at 11:54
What if you’ve only got one puppy and want to train it to be a guardian dog
Be patient with it, reward it when it does well, reprimand it when it does things you don't like (chasing or harassing sheep!)
oh my God, I love em. We ( well it really has nothing to do with me) the moms Kikos are having babies. !!! I would like a young GP to grow up with other LGDs. Because, i hate to think about it, they and me are getting older. But, i have no luck finding one. I've tried rescue, rehome. That's a story in its self. Besides, all this flying em in, etc. Or driving three states. The airport isnt even close. Got any ideas. My idea was to have her have one litter and have her fixed. I see these litters and think OMG!!! Dont want to be in the puppy business !!!@
Why would you remove them from their mom so young?
The breeder weans them at that age.
Why are you adding a higher percentage of Anatolian
They are 1/4 pyr, 1/4 Anatolian, 1/2 Marremma
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher thanks, I thought you said they were 1/2 anatolia and 1/2 Marremma with a little pyrenees
This is Larry Lange I was wanting to know how I can get with you or your helpers to get a dog or 2 we are going to gets 40 acre farm
Did you find your dog already? I know someone with beautiful LGD puppies. Working dogs.
We gave our pup a parvo shot. 6 weeks later he died from a "parvo-like virus" according to the autopsy. The actual parvo test was negative 3 separate times. $1,500 in vet bills and $450 for a necropsy and we'll never do parvo shots for our pups again. I'm convinced the pup died from the vaccine strain of parvo. The shot is not a guarantee your puppy won't get sick and you can't guarantee they won't get sick from the shot itself (we also had a dog have a horrible reaction to the lepto shot). Maintaining biosecurity is key!!! No exposure, no risk. Shots aren't a way to wash hands for an animal's health.
Our experience has been exactly the opposite. We bought a whole weaned litter from a breeder that shared your thoughts, absolutely would not give Parvo shots. The whole litter died in 2 days. Since that date we have bought and raised hundreds of puppies and every single one of them have had their 3 rounds of Parvo shots. We have not lost a single puppy to Parvo since. Folks if you are wanting to take the chance of not giving Parvo shots, you better get your shovel out and start digging a hole to put them in. I hate giving shots, but I hate worse seeing beautiful young puppies die because I failed to protect them.
Vaccines are very helpful when the authorities have strict standards in place to protect quality and the culture is responsible enough to respect and uphold those standards. Sorry to hear about your loss. Americans are considered lazy for a reason. You probably had a bad batch and someone should be held accountable. Unfortunately in our country most can get away with murder if they have the legal money to protect their interests.
Do you administer vaccinations yourselves?
We do give pups 3 rounds of Parvo.
Don’t leave that white bucket of water in the pen. It’s a drowning risk. If a puppy goes in there headfirst, it may not be able to back out.
No mention of their age or age of goals.
GOD gave us Dominion over our animal's, but with that it is our responsibility to care for them ! Love is the key , GOD IS LOVE !
GOD BLESS !!!
I forgot something, We can ALL see you sir LOVE YOUR ANIMALS and take Excellent care of them !!!!
Do you have any for rehoming? We are going to start raising sheep and bees LGDs
Contact him through his website " GreenPasturesFarm.net". But be aware that his puppies come trained and ready to go, so they cost in the $2,000 USD range.
@@movinon1242 That's cheap I'm thinking double that. My wife's little nut was $1600. For a puppy
I need to adopt an adult livestock guardian dog or dogs to protect my herd and places but I don't know how to make them accept me or the herd.
The main issue they need time to grow up!!!
Some breeds should be tested before giving certain shots
Tested for what? Is for a sensitivity to the vaccine?
9 X 9 pen... my Aunt Fannie...Ben must be about 9’6” then.
what the breed of these puppies
I’m also interested in the breed.
Maremma/Anatolian/Great Pyrenees
