In July of 2007 I got a call from Hera's owner, Mike. He said he'd been
checking the waterline through the woods. He'd heard some rustling noises
and although Hera had been barking and looking in the direction of the noises
he'd just ignored them at first. She kept barking so he released her and she
ran past him with purpose. He followed and Hera treed a 400 pound bear. It
had been this bear that had been shadowing him while he'd been working with
the waterline. Mike called Hera off and she returned to him! He will be respecting
her barking more in the future.
Like her litermates, Hera is a large boned female pup with excellent type
and a wonderful head. Note the nice angulation!
Hera interacts well with her goats and her family. She has exhibited excellent early working
livestock guardian demeanor and behaviors and has a loving temperament.
Hera's family is pleased by how well she interacts with their goats.
