Liam was a beautifully marked Black & White male, Irish white pattern with “ghost tan points”, approximately 23 inches at the shoulder, 55 pounds. The name Liam is Irish Gaelic, meaning “determined guardian, strong protector”; the English form is William. It seems Liam took this to heart as he is an incredible guardian of home. He certainly was the guardian of our hearts. Liam had a beautifully balanced structure with powerful movement, fit, and athletic.

Liam was an “old soul” even as a puppy; he was wise, curious, and playful. Many dogs are referred to as ‘affectionate’, but Liam was truly loving, intuitive, and sensitive to our needs, readily offering comfort. He adored children; was confident without being cocky, cautious without being timid, eager to please. Moderate in energy and drive; settled readily when we’re relaxing.

Liam was the full-time Ranch guardian even in the cold of winter, interested and watchful of everything going on, yet agreeable to accept back-up from the other dogs. He had quite the booming bark and loved a good game of keep-away. Liam had great instincts and presence with the cattle and sheep. This boy really liked helping with livestock of varying sizes and species.

We are so thankful to have known our Sweet Liam even for the short time we did.
