We don’t have a need for dogs at this point. Small property, fenced in chicken yards. If we free-ranged or ran chickens out in a field away from our house, we would have more of a need. Right now, our property is just too small.
No need for one right now. When we have our own property and our animals are more spread out, we will get some type of livestock guardian animal. So always a possibility!
They say a donkey is the best livestock guardian but my place (like yours) was to small to keep a donkey. I have never been without a dog of somekind. I like to have a working dog and a pet dog. 1 inside and 1 outside …. most of the time. For an inside dog we/I have always had Schnauzers because they don't shed.

Guinea fowl and guinea pig as an alarm, geese and turkeys as guardians, my property is smaller than yours, but my all ducks are spending 24hr outside.
