Just watched him until he was dead, Just Incredible says the woman.
I know business mentality.
So blessed to have my own wonderful big guy! Great Pyrenees are fierce with predators but a marshmallow with humans.❤❤❤
Why did you not go out and help your dog
Part of a dog owner is to protect
This woman irritates me
That’s what I thought why didn’t she take the dog to a vet!! 😡 or at least say by him instead of leaving him to just lye there and die
I was thinking the same.
It sounds like she is a "part-time, seasonal" helper. also, while I would certainly be by my Pyr's side, I am a large guy. This lady is small and I have not seen where she was a ninja or armed
I have never heard of "renting" sheep to see if your dog has the instincts to herd sheep! WOW!! 😂
Poor Gracie broke my heart 😢 glad she's in a better place & looking awesome! It's sad ppl get animals & then "throw" them away when they can't handle them anymore, I am glad she was taken to the shelter and not abandoned like so many others. I just wish ppl would think long & hard before they get a pet, that's why I won't get a pet for my daughter because I can hardly afford to stay afloat for our daily lives let alone adding a pet to our household, they require lifetime care and we can't afford it.
Thank you so very much for understanding that if only more folks looked at it like you do there wouldn’t be as many abandon pets your amazing I hope one day you can and when you do I know you’ll give that fur baby a wonderful life 🥰
@@DCBELLAFAIRY thank you for saying that, I appreciate it! Every time my daughter says we don't have a pet ppl are like why not? I always feel like I am getting judged because I don't have one. I would love to have a pet, we took in a stray male cat as kids and we all fell in love with him, Raja was his name. My Dad would never admit it but he fell in love with Raja too, 😂😂 Raja disappeared about a month before my Dad passed away from a massive heart attack at 50yrs old. I often wondered if Raja knew we wouldn't be able to keep him, when Dad passed away because we had to go live with my mom. Animals have that instinct. We miss him very much, (the cat & Dad) 😢
My Dad said no we couldn't have a pet because we were in town and he was a firm believer in having plenty of room for a dog to run and not chaining or fencing them in. I guess I took after him because I feel the same way.
Anyway got way off track here sorry about that 😃
Appreciate you commenting have a great day!
its a covid age thing
A friend of mine runs 2 sets of 4 Pyrs. a massive pack of wolves attacked their flock. 2 Pyrs of each set were killed the other 2(4) injured. He found dead wolves for miles
I would love to adopt Tiger for the best retirement ever!
I thought I was the only one that was getting bad energy from this ginger 😭
They needed more Great Pyr for that many sheep
no doubt, who wants to mess with a dog that takes on 1000lbs grizzly???
Now I think Gracie former owner feels sorry for dumping a fortune
Beautiful story
Breaks my ❤
Loved this, poor old guy needs a soft bed and meaty bone. Klondike looks like he would love to replace,him! LOLOL
ye i hope she doesn't work the dog to death and actually lets him rest, she seems a little simple/clueless and only focussed on keeping the sheep moving area to area rather than looking after them all
My Great Pyrenees puppy is 8 months and already over 100 pounds. They are gentle w children and will turn vicious if something threatens the child or them. They look scary when they get ready to fight. They can get up to a healthy weight of 150 160. Which anything over 100 is considered gigantic. A 100 pound dog can easily knock you off your feet easily. Nevermind a 160 pound dog.
Do you see what people can do to animals they don't want?! I've seen some of the most 'horrific' treatment done to dogs/cats/puppies/kittens, even Farm Animals that you can't even 'discuss' but your acting like this Owner, who took their dog to a 'Humane Center' is some sort of EVIL! I would rather people who have a 'Humane' facility take their UNWANTED pet there then to leave them under bridges and in desert areas or locked up in some abandoned home or apartment where they're NOT FED OR WATERED any day of the week. At least these dogs have a 'shot' at getting ADOPTED.
I agree with you, we live out in the high desert and people are always dumping their dogs out here. I have a male pit bull and his name is Rusty, We found his mother out here. She had a rope around her neck. She was severely dehydrated and starved. You could see that she had just given birth. There were no puppies! We loved her and she thrived. We were going to get her fixed but she managed to dig under the neighbors fence and several weeks later she gave birth to nine pit bull puppies. We kept Rusty but the rest went to other homes. I helped her take care of the puppies. It was so much work! Our friend took Mazy as she loves him so much. She picked him. We have Rusty. He's amazing and runs like a Greyhound. He's very protective. It's the local, no kill shelter who helps us when dogs who have been dumped show up here or in town. They helped us find homes for Mazys pups. Someone even dumped a Rottweiler out here. He was a yr. Old. I'm always sad when I find dogs out here. Recently a pack of them showed up over here abd attacked Rusty. I immediately ran outside with a metal pole to help him. They were intent on taking his territory. There is guaranteed food and water. They got him good but he is now doing well. He was mauled but he has healed well. It's a mess out here. If it wasn't for the nearest shelter, it would be so much worse. I wish people could see just how much animals have to offer. They are incredible companions! I know my dog would give his life to save me. I pray this never happens. He is family.
@@shanakinztruebeliever1547 If they have somewhere 'safe' to take them at least you'll be able to tell between the EVIL people and those who just 'bit off more than they can chew' because caring for an animal can be just as expensive as caring for your kids. That happens a lot too, the wrong owners pick the wrong dogs or they don't take into consideration how much caring for the animal may cost or they move and can't take the animal with them. This category of Owners need somewhere SAFE to take these pets. I'm glad you have a place where you live, maybe the village can help them EXPAND to take on more animals.
@@Ms.Byrd68 I'll look into this 👍. I would love to see the no kill shelter out here thrive and get more help. We are in the apple valley area.
Tiger is BOSS he is beautiful.
Why the bloody hell was the poor dog left to suffer all night and die instead of being taken to a vet? Anyone else would be busted for neglect and cruelty!
Because a vet is 250-300+ miles away. Who is supposed to take the dog there?
One of the three shepherds? Leaving only two to manage the whole operation? LGD's get into battles with wolves and bears all over the world and sometimes have the same fate as this warrior. You just never hear of it.
People need to educate yourselves with what the real world is all about before you criticize things you know nothing about.
I've had two Pyrs in my lifetime, and it upsets the hell out of me that this idiot had these Guardian breeds because she knew there were predators that could kill her sheep, which meant that there was also a possibility of them seriously injuring or killing her dogs, yet she still went out there without a rifle. Even if she hadn't been awake or present for the attack, she would have at least had a firearm to put her dog out of its pain! Her dog suffered because she was unprepared! @markradzwion5547
pourquoi tigre, ce ne sont pas des tigres, mais des chiens, c'est comme leur enlever leur identité, mais en même temps le chien se moque de comment on l'appelle, je dirait patou, border collie, chien des Pyrénées, etc., mais tigre franchement pas d'accord. Mais ces chiens sont magnifiques, puissants, courageux et tellement gentils avec l'homme. c'est juste le nom qui me dérange.
d'où vient ce nom ?
I don't see 3 Shepherds only salaried people. Shepherd cares for the Dogs, as the Dogs will lay their life for them. I just can't believe you let the injured dog outside and die.
Mutton!
What the " ? " is that background noise,,,,,,can't hear a thing,,, what a mess.
I cant get out my head thee let The dog die there without bringing HIM to medical assitance
Seems to me in an area of that size and the number of predators present especially with wolves you would have more than 7 dogs to protect a heard of that size? I’d be thinking at least 12-15 would be needed? I know they hope the dogs aren’t in real physical confrontations with bears and wolves but that’s going to happen.
Good point. I’m from Ontario and there’s a farm that has 200 head of sheep and 4 great pyranease and akbash protecting them. So going by there ratio of dog to sheep u wud half expect 30 livestock guardian dogs out with the herd.
How old is this clip? Greyhound is no longer in Canada. The government got rid of the only cheap way to travel in Canada. I used to grab a bus to head up north in Alberta. It cost me a couple hundred dollars. Now it costs me almost $1000 to fly, one way, and I don't even leave the province!
Wait, greyhound buses r not around anymore? Since when? I seriously thought they still existed. I remember using them for school trips to the city back in grade school. That was only 9yo that I graduated grade school.
@@baileydombroskie3046 They were taken out of Alberta several years ago. I don't think their in Canada at all any longer.
@@myowndrum286 idk if it makes any difference but I'm from Ontario, not Alberta. But even, this clip must be at least 15yo bcuz I only remember greyhound having the dark colored greyhound maskot.
Omg this video makes me angry. Just because Great Pyrenees are working dogs doesn't mean they should be neglected. The one that got attackedby wolves, instead of getting it care or putting it out of it misery, they let it suffer all night until it dies. And these dogs are severely matted, which can be painful for the dog! This lady could take the time to brush them, they really only need a good brushing once a week. And with a sheep flock that size, they need more dogs. So sad to see Tiger all scarred and beat up because he doesn't have enough help.
I'm sorry I'm still not quite understanding why the dog that was attacked by wolves wasn't taken to the vet and given a chance to live?
Did I miss something or is this woman just a really bad owner and doesn't really care about her sheepdogs.
Probably because they were in the middle of nowhere on a secluded mountain. They traveled to wherever they were on foot. Those LGD (livestock guardian dogs) can get upwards of 150 to 180 lbs. You're not just going to carry one off a mountain without some kind of vehicle. And even if someone did have the strengh to carry a LGD off the mountain, would they be able to do it in time to save the dog's life? That would depend on if they were within a day's walk while carrying that kind of added weight to either a vet clinic or at the very least a vehicle that could take them the rest of the way. Not only that, but they would be down be least the shepherd carrying the dog and at least one other dog because all the predators are still out there and will the scent of blood. This would put the flock, the other dogs, and the shepherds in more danger of other predators. The woman has working dogs. They are different then a family pet. They usually get the best of medical care and food and love from the shepherds and farmers who employ them, but there are hazards to being a predator deterrant.
@@marystratiff2353 Exactly. And thus dog died doing what they love. A Great Pyrenees is miserable if it's caged, fenced or handled by strangers.
@@marystratiff2353 while i agree the distance of things like that, you can also get a airlift for the dog, or fly or drive a vet out, vet could have easily arrived on location to at least check the dog out, then it obviously depends if the vet was able to heal the dog with limited travel supplies
They didn't take the injured dog to a vet because they were in the back country. If you don't understand guardian dogs are all about, don't be judgemental. It's the same as an working dog. For example, K-9 police dogs are put in danger every day. As far as retiring the old dog, his health would further deteriorate if he was removed from what he loves.
I hate 2 see dogs 🐕 mistreated
Am I to understand they didn't get the Great Pyrenees vet care when it was attacked? Just let it suffer and finally die a miserable, painful death? This lady herding these sheep is neglectful toward these dogs. Sorry not sorry.
easily could have called a vet out to the location via helicopter or 4x4 off roader vehicle to the nearest point then run to the dog, probably even got a airlift from a hospital copter , even if they got there and was too late or just not able to save it at least they would have tried, but no she just leaves the dogs to die like they are expendable soldiers
not to mention when she hears the dogs barking she could run at the bear to scare it off, air horns, water guns, tranq guns , but she just lets the commotion happen and run if a bear approaches
@@tobiaswhite2520 yes, we live in an area where Great Pyrenees are used to protect livestock against coyotes mostly. They are not pets but they are working dogs, but having said that they are a valuable part of the team. Not just use them and throw them away like trash.
@@johnshanklin5467 i get dogs have herding and protection in the genes , but just because they fixate on jobs does not dehumanise them, they are still family, and should still be protected ,/treated like family , you could tell they were just collateral for her
@@tobiaswhite2520 I agree. I can't believe the show put her on any of their episodes. Shame on them.
They don't kill healthy dogs.
The hell they don't. Thousands of healthy young dogs are euthanized every year.
Wow, so one dog gets attacked by wolves, and then the owner happily reports that the other dog watched over him whilst he died. How about getting the injured dog to a vet, or doing SOME thing else than just watching, waiting for the dog to bleed out and DIE? Possibly easier said than done, but sheez, that dog will have been in great, and avoidable pain. made me give that video a dislike.
Needed look by color is sad. Judgemental.
