I wanted to see how my flock would react to my taking my dog, leashed into the barn....I just opened the door and took 2 steps inside...that room was full of cud eating goats. I just stood there, the dog didn't move. Every nanny got up and ran out. The 2 billys and 2 wethers just stood their ground, didn't turn their backs to a dog. I turned around and left, just wondering how they would react. The males would have fought, they were my 4 biggest ones...The large breeding male had horns that from point to point was about 44 inches across but the other 3 had good size horns also, they curled and I wouldn't want to get him mad at me.....He was fine except during breeding season and I wouldn't even go into the pasture until I spotted where he was.
Pygmies and Nigerians are complete sissies.
One of my dogs zipped through the gate and gave chase to them one time and I thought they were gonna have strokes.
Ran around the machine shop, straight into a corner, totally freaking out with the dog right behind.
Good thing it was one of the Ibizan Hounds and not the Dobes.
Pitiful.
*But*, when the fence is between them, Spike thinks she’s 10 feet tall and bullet proof.
Antagonizes the something fierce.
Even after the chase.
I don’t think they’re extremely bright goats.
