Very biddable problem solver. Will call off of stock easily, or pitch in as needed. Eager to please. Excellent farm watchdog and warns off intruders. I trust my toddler to play in the yard safely if he is watching. Cricket learns quickly, good with livestock and kids. Loose eyed worker that keeps an eye on chickens and keeps the horses out of the yard. Only interferes with livestock if it is distinctly breaking rules. Loves babies of all kinds, wants to cuddle up with chickens and is devoted to my baby.
