She also emphasizes the importance of socialization and training for the puppies, as well as finding the right homes for the dogs. Finally, she talks about the different roles and challenges of having both livestock guardian dogs and herding dogs on her farm, as well as breeding goats. In this YouTube video, Kimberly Crawmer from Prancing Pony Farm discusses the expenses of feeding her Maremma sheepdogs and how it affects her decision to breed her goats.
