Monie is everything an OTSC is supposed to be: friendly, kind, energetic with an off switch, smart, alert, protective, biddable, and intuitive. She's good with children and other animals but also happy to lie around the house by herself. She's equally well-mannered at home or away, and she picks up new training very quickly.
Monie's job is to manage the farm. She hunts rats and keeps watch over the yard and the free range chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys. If she hears a disturbance in the flock, she is off like a shot to make sure they are alright. If the birds are fighting, she puts a stop to it and then leaves them alone. She is an excellent alert dog who takes patrolling the perimeter of my small farm very seriously. She has saved the lives of my flock countless times by treeing raccoons and chasing off coyotes and bald eagles. She barks when she needs to, but she also has an off switch. She has exhibited some brilliant herding potential with ducks and sheep. Her working style is upright and calm, with nice balance and a great call off. She hasn't had much practice due to my own busy schedule, but the instinct is there. She is an excellent road trip companion, is great with visitors, and reliable around children. She is eager to please, easy to train, and a general all-around excellent family dog in addition to her duties as farm guardian.
