given the advance of the coyote issue, and small farmers with small animals such as goats, chickens, rabbits, etc.
somebody (besides me?) could probably make a good life breeding a special farm dog.
it'd take some amount of discussion and trial & error. great pyrenees, cur-dogs, hounds.
maybe anotolian shepherds, rottweilers, airedales. i don't know. it would take breeding.
on the side they could develop a method to breed some really good looking mules.
white mules, black mules, red mules, but they all would need to be pretty mules.
i can see the sign now: Pretty Mules and Farm Dogs for sale at good prices.
maybe some side items like corn juice/apple juice. peaches, xmas trees, pumpkins.
some say the BMC are pretty much perfected as they are. maybe they could be more heavy??
