In the shelter’s words
Robert the Bruce comes from a litter of puppies who were born on a ranch in Central Texas. They were exposed to Boer goats and longhorn cattle from the very beginning. And LOTS of dogs -- the ranch started with a handful of livestock guardian dogs (LGDs), and didn't spay/neuter any of them, so before you know it, he had more than 60 dogs and puppies, all growing up completely feral. Since March 2024, we've been trapping and removing as many as we can, and as of June 2025, we have removed 50 dogs and puppies from this one ranch. More remain, so this is an ongoing project and we won't rest until every dog has been spayed/neutered and vaccinated. Robert the Bruce and his siblings were completely feral when they were trapped, and in the beginning, they would just SCREAM when we tried to handle them. Over time, they have learned that humans might not be the worst creatures that ever existed. At Bluebonnet's home base, he has lived in our barn with exposure to goats and barn cats, and of course more livestock guardian dogs. We don't know which of the adult LGDs on the ranch are his parents, but most of the adults that we have trapped, have weighed at least 90 lbs. Speaking of adults -- the rancher started with Akbash, Anatolian, and Great Pyrenees. Most of the dogs and puppies that we have seen look like full Akbash, Akbash/Anatolian mix or Akbash/Great Pyrenees mix. All of the puppies in this litter are solid white and look like full Akbash pups, but we can't say that with certainty since we don't know which adults are their parents.
