We both adore the trees too. It doesn’t give you much in the way of pasture with all the deep shade, but living between 80 year old trees is a pretty special place to be
Lucci probably wants to head-butt them. I can see him thinking, "I was made for this! Let me at 'em!" BTW, I'm originally from Scotland and I love Highland cows. Wishing you the best with your new adventure.
Scottish Highlands are known for their aggressive defense against predators and animals that chase them. More than one person we spoke with has told us how they’ve had to pull dead impaled coyotes off of their cows horns, and it would cause unnecessary stress in an uncontrolled situation
Yup. Herding instinct without training turns into mindless chasing with no goal that will injure the cows. He realized his job was to watch and protect them and not to chase within the first week.
Is your bouvier salt and and pepper coat color or gray color? Or is that the same color? What is height at the withers and weight? I hear the males can get up to 120lbs and this fella looks bigger than the dobie. Gorgeous pups!
Hey! He's a grey brindle, so he looks salt and pepper when his coat is long. When it's shaved short, his color is light grey with dark grey and some brown tiger stripes. He's 28" high at the shoulder and his healthy weight is around 90 lb, and our Dobe's is 85-90lb. They're surprisingly almost identical in size and weight!
@@takethevongwayhome that’s awesome. Love your content you and your man is putting out. I’ve been considering between a bouvier or giant schnauzer. I think bouvier might be easier to manage than a giant schnauzer. I’d probably keep my bouvier fur short for maintenance however the bison cut looks awesome.
@@D_F_L_ Thank you so much, I love hearing that!! Oo that's awesome, love Giant Schnauzers too. One thing I can tell you for Bouvs is that the breeder you'd get your pup from and whether they breed working lines or companion lines is really key. Lucci is from intense working lines so he has a high herding drive and a strong dislike of anyone who isn't family. He takes 6 months to warm up to a person and finally decide they're trustworthy. Personally I wanted that and really like that about him since I wanted a protective bestie, but it's for sure more intense to manage if we go in public than a friendlier personality would be. A lot of other Bouvs we know are from companion lines and are totally happy to make new friends! So just lots of research on your breeder. And agreed, shorter hairstyles are definitely easier to manage, then you only have to detangle the moustache. I'm just a sucker for those long wiry curls!
@@takethevongwayhome wow thank you, this is really helpful information. I will make sure to do my research. Thanks again!

@@takethevongwayhome I can confirm what you say, having had a bouv originating from dutch working line ( passed away just a few weeks ago age 15 :( ). working line means a heavy duty dog, both sides "These dogs are more dutiable. You can put them under firm pressure without them being impressed. There is the disadvantage that they have their own will and perseverance, which makes it more difficult for the boss" Then IF you can handle them they are The Best, personally I will only settle for this type
