To support, promote and advance the sustainable use of effective livestock guardian dogs by farmers and ranchers.
Vision:
Our vision is to increase the effective use of livestock guardian dogs by Texas farmers and ranchers.
Values:
We strongly believe livestock guardian dogs are one of the most cost effective and sustainable means to protect livestock and crops of farmers and ranchers.
We believe that sustainable use of our resources and the land that they are on is critical to the long-term welfare of the agriculture industry.
We promote honesty, integrity and professionalism within the livestock guardian dog community and the agriculture industry.
