Hercules came to us from the Missoula County Animal Shelter where he was brought in as a stray.....although the person who brought him in knew a lot about him...  He said Hercules was good with goats, sheep and horses but Herc does think that chickens are tasty so he does need to be kept away from them.

Cats are unknown but he will be cat tested. He does not like going inside so its safe to assume that he's only been outside and could make a perfect LGD for a large ranch or farm "if" the owner knows how to teach him.

Rides well in the back of a caged pick up, but wanted to be in the passenger seat of a normal car - or in the driver's lap!!!.

He is happy and gets along well with other dogs through fences. He wags his tail and just wants to play. He has not tried to jump any fences so that is promising. He would do well with a family who needs a LGD and a big fluffy dog to care for the stock as long as the adopter knows how to train him for that. 

He is neutered and UTD on all vaccines and is available for adoption for $275. He is at the Old Farm Kennel in Florence, MT.  You can come meet him and take him home - just call 406 273-6837 to make an appointment.
