Some people picture livestock guardian dogs as massive, fierce protectors—fearless warriors standing watch over their flock.
Lucy and Eleanor? Not exactly. 😂
They may be giant, but these two are mostly just melodramatic goofballs who take their guardian duties very seriously… as long as those duties don’t interfere with napping.
Sure, they’ll bark when something seems suspicious, and their mere presence seems to be enough to keep predators away. We’ve never had a predator problem with Lucy and Eleanor on the clock! But most of the time, you’ll find them sprawled out in the grass, soaking up the sun, demanding attention, or looking personally offended by absolutely nothing.
But underneath all that goofiness, these girls absolutely adore their flock. They’re happiest when they’re surrounded by their sheep and goats, and they’re never far from the animals they’ve been entrusted to protect. They may not look like the fierce, intimidating guardians people imagine, but they take their job—and their flock—very seriously.
They’re two enormous, lovable, ridiculous girls who keep us laughing every day, and their flock is truly their whole world. ❤️🐾
