Sheep Dog
by: Ancona, George
Sheep ranching is a major agricultural industry in the United States.
Coyotes and sheep, and attempts to control them by poison, traps, or hunting
have either caused serious environmental problems or have failed. The
author, in consulation with biologists Lorna and Raymond Coppinger of
the Livestock Dog Project at Hampshire College in Massachusetts, visted
sheep ranchers in Idaho who are participating in the use of guard dogs
to protect their sheep. The result of his visit is a fascinating photo-essay
about these dogs, the important work they do, and how they differ from
dogs that herd or are kept as pets. B/W photos. Ages 10-14. 60 pgs.
