One thing to remember is to get a young pup and introduce them early. A lgd needs to bond with whatever you get make sure it suits your needs as size and activity for your place. Like great pyrenesse have a tendency to wonder. That's why we don't use them any more. Some breeds bark more. So if you have neighbors they may complain. If you have a smaller flock and a smaller area where they are at you may want to consider a smaller breed dog. Also many breeds can be used for lgd. You don't have to have a gp or border collie or anitolian if they don't suit your need.
