Learning About LGDs (Facebook group. Very good information in their files and their members are very helpful. They can be a little blunt when answering questions but they only want to help and do not want to see livestock or dogs suffer for an owner's lack of knowledge. Many LGDs have ended up shot or abandoned because people didn't want to put in the time. Not every dog will be a good LGD but most failures are human error.)
