This issue is a load of tripe. These animals are doing what they are trained to do.. that is to guard the flock. These “tourists” need to keep their distance from the flock instead of crowding them for a photo op.
How come the Pit Bulls aren’t mentioned? They want to talk about a breed of dog that is a menace to society.

Livestock guardian breeds are not trained per se. They’re imprinted on sheep as infants. LGB’s are very independent thinkers, unlike the sheep herding breeds which are bred and trained to work as a team with the shepherd.
The pit bull itself should not be blamed. Go after the breeders. They are the ones that are messing up the breed by breeding too much aggression into the lines. They are the ones that should be held accountable along with people that don’t know how to handle them or shouldn’t have them.
