@ALDABRAMAN , lovely pics. Thanks for sharing.
I think it's safe to say that these two are significantly smarter than average, and MUCH better trained.I'd be worried with the doggies and that pool of water. Wouldn't want to meet a gator
I think this is an important point and an important distinction to make periodically, considering how emphatic TFO members usually are about keeping dogs AWAY from tortoises.~ Thank you, I have 13 years as a professional K-9 handler/trainer, they are highly conditioned. Daily maintenance and lot's of play @ ALDABRAMAN.

Your dogs are the exception, and this is why. They are not only working dogs, they are ON DUTY when they are with the tortoises. And as you mentioned, they are very well exercised and well maintained, which is crucial to how this rather unique situation works.
Jake and Daisy are quite the guard dogs! They must love all those torts too!
