Sissy, pictured here at 8 months of age, is our new Livestock Guardian Dog. She is half Great Pyrenees and half Akbash and weighed 98 lbs at 6 months of age - she now weighs 125 lbs! She is very sweet but very serious about keeping predators away and guards our place 24/7. And by the way, she is no sissy. Sissy is short for "Sissiaki", or "The sister who looks like an Akbash!"

Sissy, pictured here at 13 months of age, has found an avocation. Every guardian dog should have a hobby, right?  She took to carting in an instant and looks like she will be quite the star!
