Livestock Guardian Dogs (LGD)

**Livestock Guardian Dogs (LGDs)** are large, intelligent, and protective breeds bred for centuries to safeguard livestock from predators. Unlike herding dogs, LGDs live with the flock, form strong bonds, and protect through vigilance and deterrence rather than aggression. Calm, loyal, and independent, they’re trusted guardians of sheep, goats, and cattle across farms and mountains worldwide.
