Here at GoatSheepShop, we pay special attention that all the dogs get well prepared and learn their future jobs in and out (so to speak…)  Sometimes some of the pupils even take up  extracurricular activities, like little fifteen-week old Anka and her sister Ara as on the attached pictures.  But don’t worry mom is always around to look after the little rascals.
