Seeing Eye Dogs
“Nelson” is a 4 year-old Border Collie and “Bailey” is a 9 month-old Mini Australian Sheep Dog.
Both dogs have been bred for their jobs. While they instinctively herd, they do need training to hone their skills.
Both “Nelson” and “Bailey” are employed by the Panther Valley Country Club each working 45 hours a week keeping geese off the fairway.
They love and need to run and run and run and run some more. Both dogs are super friendly, but when their handlers hopped in their golf carts, “Nelson” and “Bailey” were off and running.
From left to right meet, “Nelson” and “Bailey”.

Great Pyrenees
Meet “Cloudy” an 8-year old Great Pyrenees.
Pyrenees are bred to be guard dogs and that is her sole responsibility at “Hidden Pastures Luxury Fiber Farm” in Branchville.
At about 10pm, the main gates to the farm are closed and “Cloudy” patrols 23 acres, home to alpacas, llamas, angora rabbits, sheep and Tibetan yaks. “Cloudy” discourages any beasts from trespassing, namely bears and coyotes.
Pyrenees are gentle and easy going, but are very task oriented.
In this photo, “Cloudy” is sticking like velcro to “Zak”, the yak calf. Seems “Zak” wandered off the farm and “Cloudy” remained with him all the way into the village of Branchville.
What a scene that must have been! Luckily, no one was injured, no one panicked…just some amazed village folk.
