Sow and young piglets

This young sow was born in the training block in October last year so she is now ten months old and already having her first litter. I knew that she was pregnant and she had not come up for food for the past 8 – 10 days which indicated that she had her litter so it was just a matter of time before she would bring the wee piglets in for some extra food. She had managed to get out of the training block and was living up in the block above. I had watched her a number of times from the opposite face. One day I was only up the hill with one of my main dogs Fog so I walked over with my camera to see if I could get some footage of her with the piglets. We managed to get within a couple of meters of them with Fog standing beside me. As she walked around the scrub and saw me and Fog they did not panic because we were calm then they walked off. I was rapped to see that Fog was comfortable to stand beside me and not even attempt to chase the pigs.
