The Latest Research on Livestock Guardian Dogs Presented in Sept. 19 Webinar

The latest research on the use of livestock guardian dogs to deter predators will be presented in a free webinar on Sept. 19 and hosted by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.

The “Livestock Guardian Dog Research in the Western States,” presentation will be made by the featured speaker, Julie Young, Ph.D., associate professor at Utah State University whose research focuses on the behavior, ecology and management of carnivores and beavers.

Young’s research aims to reduce negative human-wildlife interactions to facilitate coexistence. She often coproduces research with livestock producers to increase the efficacy of non-lethal tools, such as LGDs, to reduce livestock predation.

The Zoom webinar will begin at 3 p.m. There is no cost to attend but participants must preregister at https://tx.ag/Sept19webinar.

According to a release, the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Service Center at San Angelo has a research program dedicated to livestock guardian dogs, LGDs, and utilizes them at the center’s ranches and in partnership with private ranch owners.

Free educational webinars for producers and those in the livestock guardian dog industry are offered each year courtesy of the LGD research program.

“I’m excited to have Dr. Young as our featured speaker for this webinar,” says Bill Costanzo, AgriLife Extension livestock guardian dog specialist, Bryan-College Station. “She has done a lot of important LGD research over the years in the mountains and western states and will be sharing that research and results and how it is applicable to Texas as well.”

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
