Guarding dogs

Anatolian Puppy in Kennel. Namibia..Puppy in kennel. Puppies bond to their "charge' between 8 to 16 weeks of age. CCF places puppies with the livestock they will grow to protect between that age period. When they are very young, though, they need their own safe place to escape in the stock yard so as not to be hurt by older protective livestock stock. Between 3 to 6 months of age the puppies often become playful with young stock and need corrective guidance. .
