Back from the South Gobi Aimag, where we were discussing our Bankar Program with herders in the Altai Mts. There are numerous snow leopard and wolf problems there, and the locals are really looking forward to using livestock guardian dogs to lessen their livestock deprivations. We are teaming up with the Snow Leopard Trust, which works in that area, to place dogs with families who are part of the snow leopard co-op.
As of now we have our hands full of bloated/gassy puppies and a newborn lamb. The gassy pups are getting checked at the vet, and it looks like it may have been a de-worming mishap. Thankfully they are fine now. More information and pictures to come on both the South Gobi trip and the newborn lamb.
