      abstract = {Excerpts from the report Introduction:  In the mid-1970's,  there began a resurgence in the use of an ancient form of  sheep protection, the guarding dog.  Several factors  contributed to this phenomenon, including federal  restrictions on the use of substances to kill predators,  the relative inability of existing  techniques to provide  adequate relief from predation, and a  desire by some to  use nonlethal methods of reducing the loss  of livestock to  predators.  There are few hard and fast rules with respect  to dogs and sheep.  Many variables interact to produce  successful guarding dogs.  This report presents a viewpoint  based on experiences with a number of dogs with varying  temperaments.  Although some of the information may be  speculative, most is supported by the experience and  research of the authors, other researchers, and by a  growing number of people who successfully use dogs to  protect their livestock.},
