Blue is a purebred Anatolian Shepherd who was surrendered to us as a 13 week old puppy. He had been purchased from a farm-based breeder who raises Nigerian Dwarf goats, but the family who purchased him soon realized they weren't cut out for managing a giant puppy who needed more obedience training than they were equipped to provide. We're grateful that they recognized the pup needed a different environment. We put him in the pasture with Rennie to supervise, and he did really well. Our Nigerian Dwarf goats probably made him feel right at home. Blue was adopted while he was still a puppy and spent a couple years living with sheep plus two other LGDs. He was an excellent perimeter guardian, but when in the smaller pen where the sheep spent most of their overnights, Blue would sometimes chew on the ears of the sheep. He had plenty of bones and toys, so it's hard to say why he developed this bad habit. It was disappointing that the other LGDs didn't intervene to tell him to STOP, and it didn't typically happen when the humans were home and could intervene. After trying everything they could think of to resolve the issue, they finally decided he needed to come back to us. We kept Blue…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
