Louisdog Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 I just got one, was hoping to get some tips from people if anyone happened to have any. Yes they guard sheep, poultry etc against foxes and dogs, in the states they use them a lot to guard sheep against coyotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daj198 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Can you keep llamas on their own then? How big is your garden? I quite fancy a llama! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I have a wonderful book called 'Along Came a Llama' by Ruth Janette Ruck who was a sheep farmer and lived in Snowdonia. She decided to raise a baby llama. There is a great pic of her sitting reading the paper in front of her fire with the llama sitting on the hearthrug I would love a llama, but I can't see it going down very well in a London back garden Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisdog Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 I am lucky, I have a paddock where I can keep him. They cannot be kept on their own but will adopt a flock of sheep as their own, so he is going to live with my shetland sheep.

Louisdog Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 P.S. that book looks great, it is out of print but I will look out for it in my local charity shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I just checked on Abe Books there are quite a few copies for sale, some of them are stupid prices £35.00 There are some for around £2.00 but they are in the States, postage might be high.

Scramble Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Oh! I've always wanted a llama congratultations! Though my garden's only just big enough for the eglu (when it arrives) and I've had to persuade my dad for a while just for chickens.
