Here's a picture http://tinyurl.com/ywjumy from a show this year where my dog and I were an obstacle - the kids had to hold their llama still while we walked a circle around them, without attacking the dog - or me I guess! They all passed!<BR/><BR/>If you visit when you get up this way I'll introduce him to some nice llamas ;-)StefRobrtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786010946464627818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36378444.post-10426973643159564552007-11-03T20:34:00.000-04:002007-11-03T20:34:00.000-04:00I would give just about anything if you all could ...I would give just about anything if you all could hear and see Billy do an impersonation of the llama attack. It's almost better than what the llama could do himself. <BR/><BR/>Stef... You are a brave woman to keep such creatures in close proximity to your home!

A couple summers ago the neighbor's teenager decided to take a shortcut through the field with his pit bull. He dropped the dog over the fence then jumped over himself. The llamas immediately ran up to him (all four of them) and started trying to step on the dog. He was yelling and waving at them, the dog was running around, and the llamas were chasing them all the way across until the jumped the fence on the other side! That's why people use them as guard llamas!<BR/><BR/>Now they were fine with us and our dogs, but I wouldn't test them. They're kind of aloof and grumpy at the best of times!<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen that kid use our field as a shortcut since!StefRobrtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786010946464627818noreply@blogger.com
