James, we just finished the dogs shots and I am busy nearly 24X7 with them they are now 6 months old and quite good with their goats. Beau is still $100 as he needs more work then some of the others. He is very much like his dad. Zeke and Taka the parents were 4 to 6months old when we purchased them from Mrs Etchart the breeder. They have bonded well with my husband and I. QUOTE: "A livestock guardian dog (LGD) can't be purchased "ready to go" - even if obtained as an adult, he needs time to become accustomed to his job. If purchased as a pup, he need EIGHTEEN/TWENTY-FOUR months to become fully reliable. A dog that had been properly trained and "bonds" to a flock of sheep - and a flock really needs to be more than just a couple - may tolerate working without seeing a human for a few days, but you are far better off using other management methods to protect your very small flock."
