When my aunt got her new sheep dog puppy, they told her to keep it the hell away from cats, the breed is known to kill any small animal that could be a threat to the sheep. But she decided to raise the pup with her pet cat to try to teach the pup that cats r good (she needs the barn cats to kill the rodents & birds).

My aunt said the dog loves the cats, he was only 6 mths old & he was hearding the kittens to the porch. & he was good to the adult cats too.

he was also a natural see & eye dog for their ex sheep dog, who is now in RB after serving 2 farms for 15 yrs, 3 of which he was 100% blind. The blind dog was born on my aunts farm & was sold to a farmer down the way, but most of the farms out there have closed down, so they gave her back the dog 6 yrs later.
