I think i decided to cross dominique roosters to araucana hens.
So after the offspring of dominique roosters and araucana hens have the same color, will they have other similarities?
Or should i expect diversity in egg production, combs etc?
How many generations does it take to breed true?
And what will the life expectancy be for these Easter eggers?

Vey good looking dogs!
I didn't know the breed.
Also i thought great Pyrenees are not heat tolerant (read that there is blood of them in your Colorado mountain dogs).
I plan to make a chicken farm for eggs in the future.
Half acre fenced.
So i want a dog that
1-can withstand -13 to +39 celsius.
2-be good with chickens and me.
3-be independent.
I am also considering a small very rare dog breed named Alopekis.
Maybe combine two of them with a big lgd such as the Greek white shepherd.

Wow
Thank you all for your informative answers, i really appreciate all of them!
I come from Greece and where i will put the chickens can be as hot as 39 celsius under shadow at summer and as cold as -13 at winter.
I want birds that
1-can tolerate those temperatures provided a shed.
2-forage in a fenced area so the cost of their feed will diminish.
3-brood averagely and be good mothers so they can replace themselves naturally without me using incubators.
4-the roosters not be very aggressive at people.
5-and on top of all that they must be good egg layers.
I know that there might not be one breed that fits all that criteria perfectly that s why i ask for advice.
I was thinking maybe to crossbreed some araucanas with dominiques to create my own Easter eggers.
I will research every one of your suggestions though, and take a thoroughly look at the list of all the chicken breeds.
Thanks again and please keep posting suggestions.

Australorps were my initial choice but i read that they are more prone to heatstroke than other breeds.
Also i read that Easter eggers are not very good egg producers and they are not a real breed.

Yes, i come from Greece.
When i was young my family had a female non pedigree German shepherd.
The white Greek shepherd dog is leaner (with longer coat) than the Mollosus of Epirus, i think.

Hello everyone, i wanted to ask two questions about the coats of different lgd breeds and best lgd for free range chicken farm.
1-Which dog is more heat tolerant? A white double coated long haired breed or a dark coloured double coated medium haired breed? The breeds i am talking about are not so famous outside my country. They are the White greek shepherd dog and the Mollosus of Epirus.
2-Also which independent ((in pair but) without human supervision most of the day) lgd breeds are good for chickens, that are both heat and cold tolerant?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello everyone, i wanted to ask which type of freshwater edible fish would be suitable for fish farming in a tank?
Must be heat and cold tolerant, preferably herbivorous or at least omnivorous.

Hello everyone, i wanted to ask a question.
Which egg laying breed would thrive in a free range farm (fenced half acre with a shed) with supplementary food?
Must forage, be both heat and cold tolerant, average brooder, good mothers, not aggressive.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
I was thinking of dominique chicken breed.
What do you think of them?
Any other suggestions?
