Lady Sadie, Barnyard Queen

In the Barnyard, Sadie Rules!
Sadie is my 8 month old Pembroke Welsh Corgi. She rules the barnyard. She keeps all of the free range chickens out of the front yard and helps me herd them in at night to secure them inside from predators. Just the other night, one of the cows was startled and running straight towards my Miniature Dachshund, Hope. I yelled out to Hope. Sadie heard the fear in my voice and came out of nowhere. She positioned herself between Hope and the running cow, stood her ground, and barked at the cow to stop. I believe with time she will make an excellent stock dog. Not only is she a good worker, but she also has the sweetest disposition. I hope to train her to be a therapy dog someday.
