Newcomer Cheyenne is part of the security detail at Folsom. Bred to guard cattle, she seemed to be a somewhat reluctant student. She preferred to stay with the children in the family and would be found on the porch waiting their return from school instead of at her post with the cattle. Though relieved of her duties in the cattle industry, her original owner felt she would most likely develop these skills, if given enough time. Guarding is such an instinctual part of the Great Pyrenees breed that Cheyenne will no doubt pick it up soon enough. Her colleague Harrison’s mentoring will help develop her talents as well.
