Rebecca Miller

Rebecca Miller is a writer, editor, shepherdess and dog wrangler. She runs Blue Heron Farms, a commercial sheep flock of about 250 ewes, in the Appalachian foothills of eastern Ohio. Livestock guardian dogs have been a part of the family farm for more than 15 years, but she began working with them specifically in 2016. She now has a growing pack, mostly of Turkish origin. With 210 acres surrounded by about 1,000 acres of open farmland and woods, it's a haven for wildlife and provides a rich environment to observe the LGDs at work.
