Buford T. Justice Baymule’s LGD

[baymule]

Had 4 new lambs born last night. Buford got a newborn lamb lesson. He did real good, he was respectful of the mother, sniffed her, then sniffed lambs.

Then before he could go play with Sheba, he got a truck lesson. I didn’t have to get in the back with him this time. And I was able to close the door.

I got in the driver’s seat but didn’t start the truck. Buford was scared and trembling. I soothed him and we sat there until he relaxed a little. Then I let him out and praised him profusely.

Sheba and Buford love to run and play. Sheba has always been playful. Her favorite is to dive under his belly, biting opposite hind leg, giving him only her butt that’s hard to bite, and jerking his leg out from under him. It is play, but this is how Anatolians attack predators.

Once down, Sheba mauls Buford. He doesn’t stand a chance. He could win the play fight, but he lets her roll him. It is all teaching him what to do in a real situation.

They also stalk each other, run full speed and slam into their “victim”, knocking them off their feet and rolling. This usually makes the rolled dog mad and the victim jumps up snarling, and attacks right back. With all the growling going on, you’d think it’s a real fight, but it’s not.
