The Guardian

Ash is a Livestock Guardian Dog, a working dog trained to keep our residents safe.

  • He is an Anatolian Shepherd

  • His breed has been protecting animals for 6,000 years

  • He is nocturnal. He sleeps inside during the day and patrols the property at night

  • He is not in danger from coyotes (though we fear for any coyote foolish enough to get close)

  • He is fiercely loyal to his herd and his family and not trusting of strange humans or dogs

  • He thinks Bailey Road is part of his territory… sorry
