Dogs at home & on the trail

[Deborah Haney]

Our goats have done fine with the dogs, though we too are nearing the end after 14 great years. My bottle baby tries to play with English lab/husky Koko The Honorary Grandma, who just wants to give him a bath, and gets a little too rough with American lab/shepherd Bruiser The Tripod. My doe gets nervous when the dogs walk towards her but will come up and sniff them if they're laying down. I think the key has been that my dogs are very old and calm. If you get a puppy, you'd have to supervise VERY closely to make sure neither party gets hurt. You could start by letting them share a fence or taking the dog into the yard on a leash to potty.
