ISO LGA donkey preferred
Description
Hello!
I live on a remote island on the BC coast, where 9 months of the year i am 1 of 5 year round residents. We dont have a road on our island because the pitch is too steep, so everyone lives in isolated properties. That said, i live here year round and want to make my existence more sustainable by introducing some ducks and goats. I have one livestock guardian dog, but his number 1 priority is protecting me, not the livestock, and i'd like a proper livestock protector. Online it seems ducks and donkeys get along great. We have issues with bears, cougars and coyotes. The dog has killed a coyote, and treed a cougar before the CO came and dealt with it. I'd like a more regular defence so the dog and i can go on vacation or i can let him have a day off island for socializing. We are also curious about donkeys as pack horses.
I have no experience with donkeys, but a lot of experience with horses (not the same, i know). Please let me know if i am being naive or if you have any suggestions.
Photos are of my current animals.
