- Montalt farm, Perthshire
Have young (9 months) Huntaway. Had from a pup, brought up in family house with two young girls till about 5 months then out to a kennel in the yard with open run so always able to be outside seeing everyone going about. Great nature with me and the family, keen on the sheep and so far not a grip in him and showing fair bit of potential. He will stand in the mornings on the feed passage and let the cows clean him up.
Last six weeks or so has become extremely aggressive to any strangers that come onto the farm. Never thought much about it when he started as was just a bit of barking. Now pretty sure he would bite if he got out of his run, hair stands up on his back and look a real nasty bugger.
He is still has a great nature with the family but not sure how we can sort him out. Never had this problem before as our dogs have always been able to run about the doors without any worry. Realise that it must be something to do with protecting his territory. Any ideas what might cause this or any tips? TIA
