What’s your favorite breed as a homestead companion? We’ve got two Belgian Malinois coming with us, who’ve accepted the position of chief security officers, and are adopting a Great Pyrenees to join us as a livestock guardian next. (After that I’m hoping for a Pugzu, whose official job duties would simply be to look cute…)
