Herding Dogs. Border Collie sheep herding Dogs have been at Psalm 23 Camp since 1985. They are very valuable in the day to day sheep operation since they are so effective at herding the sheep flock under the direction of the shepherd. They have often been used for teaching Christian principles in writings found elsewhere at this web site. (Sheep Tracks). Sport and a younger dog Duke are currently the herding dogs at the camp. They are kept in the kennel except for periods of work.

Guard Dogs. Great Pyrenees dogs first arrived at Psalm 23 Camp in January 2002. Bo and Peep are the two guard dogs on the farm. These dogs live with the sheep and keep predators from coming into the flock. They are a very valuable asset since sheep are easily harmed or killed by wild dogs and coyotes.
