- Watch as our livestock guardians help to keep a problem bear off our farm and also contain a snake. There is no direct bear footage, only evidence that he was here. But I do have snake footage. Our 7 guardians are Akbash with Great Pyrenees mixed in. Hope you enjoy! Please subscribe if you like our channel. It's free and easy to do.

Sleeping outside with your animals is what makes me happy about this. They are family and it's something very special in our short lives that a lot of people will never understand or feel.
I agree with you totally. It's special to camp out with the animals. Also, I got to see so many shooting stars that I never would have. And just being a team with them. They appreciate it when I'm around when they are at work. And I enjoy being there with them.
You are so correct!
I had a ginormous half-breed Pyrenees and he was the Security Guard of our family. You didn't have to lock anything with him around. I got him for $35 at the dog shelter. He was a therapy dog reject, reduced for quick sale. He was a diamond of a dog.
Mine was a rescue dog And specials were running for $40 including being fixed.. I used to train Dobermans for years but this dog takes the cake! I also got another dog with him because I didn't want him to be alone which is a bully/pitbull mix and they are best friends! It's like they both compliment each other and loving both of them... they give back loads!! Can't go wrong with the guardian dogs unless of course you can't stand to hear a dog bark LOL
My sister had a problem with a bear coming on her property every nite trying to get her chickens...She's stuffed jelly donuts with ghost peppers and has not seen the bear since
Oh gods thats awesome
Now that is a technique that I've never heard of. lol.
Smart!
😁😄🤣😂.....
Good one....
Thanks for sharing that info...
@Saman Naqvi Well. something would be running shortly! Prolly the bear's ass !
Bear!? Yikes... Your dogs are gorgeous and amazing. I freaked out one morning when one of my senior guardian dogs didn't show up for breakfast. I frantically ran around the property and then to the back pasture where I saw him standing between the alpaca girls and an angry coyote who got his leg caught in the fence. I was so proud of our sweet dog. I had to run back to the house to get my boys and everyone followed except the coyote who was stuck. Whew... we usually have at least 2 working dogs but we were in transition as our dogs were all older. We've been adopting them from rescues and finding a good fit takes a little bit more time. We've been so blessed with such amazing guardian dogs and they are worth their weight in gold and then some. And like you, ours is family and we love on them a ton. Thank you for sharing how incredible your majestic dogs are!!! Hugs, Keiko
Oh wow, great save that your senior guardian dog did with the coyote. That's a great story! Guardians truly are amazing. Hugs back to you.
@@BigHornMountainAlpacas They are, aren't they?! Hugs :) and have an amazing Sunday!
What happened to the coyote?
@@digi3363 😵I hope
@@axeman33333 Well I don't.
Something I don't understand and I think I never will: There are people who just don't like dogs. How could someone not like these amazing and loving creatures? Go figure.
I agree.
A got a friend who dislike dogs. He doesn't hate them or want to do the dog any harm, just dislike dogs. Turned out he was bitten pretty badly by a dog when he was a kid and the trauma never went away...
I've had a couple of Great Pyrenees and they are great dogs, just don't put them in urban or suburban environments. They are noisy at night and love to go on walkabouts. They will ignore you if their interest is elsewhere
@@MC-tm2uy I agree.It's usually a scare they had when younger.
@@---nu4ed Unfortunately that's the hard part. Knowing that you will probably outlive your dog, and then some more, is a tuff thing. But like everything else in life there are no guarantees to pretty much everything. I accept the loss issue because having dogs beats not having them.
You have a beautiful pack.
Thank you. I think so too. :)
At first I was like, “Oh, WOW!” But then... I saw the Goose. Now I understand why no bears on your property. It’s almost like cheating.
Hi. Geese do alert to problems and to anyone or any animal trying to enter our property. But geese also can easily fall victim to predators if they don't have backup such as livestock guardian dogs. Here, they make a great team.
@@BigHornMountainAlpacas Even Tom Brady needs his team. You understand I was about half teasing, right. Every time I see a goose the tape goes off in my head. The neighborhood bully, E.J. Posteard, running for his life. Each buttock under extreme duress from grandmother’s babies. He never lived it down. Never ate duck again, and those two lived a long and happy life.
Guardian goose to the rescue! Every farm needs a guard goose lol. No... Seriously.
@@chrisnnh In ancient Rome the geese were celebrated each year for being better alert guardians than the dogs. Romans would even kill some dogs during that celebration. During one invasion of Rome the geese were the only ones to spot the enemy sneaking in while the sentries and guard dogs all were asleep.
How wonderful and rare it is to see a full family pack of dogs. And how lovely it must be for the pups to all stay together and grow old with one another. Humanity really doesn't deserve dogs!
I love that they are altogether too. And not one is missing. It's been such an honor for me to watch this family. And to be their human.
@@BigHornMountainAlpacas Just one Pyr now. He's 11months. Soon to court a lady for him so we will have family too
There's a very good reason that it is so rare- look up littermate syndrome, its a horrible thing that many siblings kept with other siblings experience. It often makes for miserable lives for the pups involved and awful behaviors, theres very few people who have the ability to combat this and keep the pups separate enough so they dont experience that
I will have to disagree with you Vic Toria, and I'm educated on what some people call littermate syndrome. Many, many keep families and litters with no issues. Also, if what you are saying is rare, almost the whole sled dog industry wouldn't exist. My two before this pack, where Great Pyrenees littermates (they also were part of this pack for 2 years), They were sisters who worked, played, slept and ate together into teenage years which is when they passed. It is not rare to have a bonded family pack of dogs who get along. It is not rare to have siblings get along. That is my opinion, so I decided instead of delete this comment, I would write back. But I don't want this to turn into a debate. Thank you.
@@fitness4life746 haha I think my girl is just now coming into her first heat, but I'm in the Midwest.
Beautiful pack, full of love and devotion, so well done with their raising. I've got three kuvaszok on four acres and they just are going crazy when the coyotes sound off. It constantly amazes me how they work as a team, without any previous training. Their instinct just kicks in.
Thank you and sounds like you have a great team too. :)
Very impressive pack of animals:)! They seem happy on the farm.
I am a Happy owner of 2 brother Pyrenees puppies. They are 15 months old, gentle giants indeed great with kids so loving 🥰
Nice! Hugs to your pups.
I love that this family of dogs got to stay together ! That’s amazing , very rare for dogs to have that
Thank you.
So cool! You’re just playing a part in a story that thousands of years old, two species working together as a cohesive family unit for a greater cause ensuring the safety and prosperity of each other. Your story is up in Wyoming in the 21st century while others with similar tales have been in Peru, Siberia, the Alps, and Appalachia with countless ones in between. It’s not just in their genes, it’s in ours as well, we need each other. Always have and always will, just maybe one day we will earn it.
Well said!!
Hi. I have Maremmas and I know what a great job these beautiful guardian dogs do. Lovely to see your beautiful Guardian family.
Thank you so much!
I love that you have so many of these dogs so its an overwhelming force and any predator will be dispatched likely without even altercation .
Yes, a predator wouldn't even want to come in with a large group of guardians. We've had mountain lions and bears look and just run on by without entering the property.
@@BigHornMountainAlpacas , my thoughts exactly. I also noticed that you have seven (a significant biblical number) and you recognize God in everything and give thanks unashamedly.....
I justLove this video! I’m on my3rd Pyr and they r just beyond amazing! This breed is sheer perfection
Thanks. And glad you liked this. This pack is Akbash with a little Great Pyrenees mixed in. Both breeds are amazing I think so I totally agree with you. :)
We have an Akbash mix and she’s the greatest dog,we believe she’s mixed with Husky and Dalmatian possibly.She developed black spots all over after turning 6-7 months old,they came out of nowhere.
@@karltoboll4873 I bet she's a cutie too!
That is so smart stacking wood along the fence. What a great bunch of dogs you all have. I thought this was so neat that they surrounded the snake and alerted of it. Just awesome.
Thanks. Yes, the dogs really are so smart by nature.
Wow! You are soooo blessed! What beautiful, smart, protective dogs. Love this video and look forward to many more of them.
Thank you so much!
I love this. Such beautiful guardians.
Thank you.
Love it! Keep it comin! It feels so peaceful to watch them all together. Protecting your land, you, animals. So precious and innate.
Thank you Caitlin for your kind encouragement for our new TH-cam Channel. The guardians are the heartbeat of our ranch and home for sure.
Love those beautiful mini polar bears of yours.
Thanks so much 😊
I would know nothing about this without folks like you all. I just subscribed. Thank you. Raphael NYC
Oh my, thank you so much!
Smart and caring dogs!!!Love their work!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your life.🍀💚🍀
My pleasure. Thanks!
LGD’s are such amazing dogs!!! You have a wonderful and beautiful family of fur kids!!!!
Thank you so much!
What beautiful dogs. Really enjoyed watching this video. xxx
Thank you so much.
My son has a huge pyranese..hes 13 now lives indoors and defend my son and teaching his "replacement" not a pyranese what to do. Hes my granddog...he will never be replaced!! Once a man attacked my son and shot his little puppy. My sons a grown man..when that guy hit my son the "polar bear" TOOK HIM DOWN!!!!! GOOD BOY!!!
Hello. So sorry to hear that someone shot your dog's puppy. That's awful. I'm glad to hear that your son's other dog was there to get the guy. So sorry.
You can not beat a group of Great Pyrenees. Such a great family you have.
Thank you. We sure love them a lot and they do a great job protecting us all.
Beautiful dogs! I have a GP/ akbash mix that is my constant companion when I am home. Wonderful animals 🙂
The best!
Watching this snuggled in bed with my Personal Guardian Dog, a Doberman.
That sounds fun. I used to have a doberman. He was with me his full life. Great dogs dobermans are.
I have a dobie too and 3 pryness
@@lisaguinther1923 Awe. Nice. I loved my doberman Jackson.
@@Jedin8_1966 Oh my goodness, not too smart of the neighbor. Glad things turned out ok.
Absolutely beautiful pack of Pyrs.We had but it died and waiting on our second one to be here in two weeks.He’s coming from Colorado.
Hi. So sorry to hear yours died. That is so hard. Congrats on your new addition!
Karl, has your new pup arrived yet? I’m sorry about your loss. But I’m happy you’re filling your home with a new babe.
@@emmabovary1228 in two days he will be here
Most wonderful dogs you could ever have!!
Just all around great video.... and just love your dogs...... I love dogs... just love ‘em🐕💖💯
Thank you so much.
Gorgeous doggies!
Thank you.
Quite a pack. I love seeing the dogs. I'm not ready for having a LGD yet, but hope to soon. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you so much. Sorry I missed seeing this comment until today.
I just got an 3 month old Akbash/Pyr mix pup, he is learning the fence line now with my older EM. He will be taking over the protection of the property. He already is on guard duty in the yard next to the house. Amazing.
That is great!
I very much enjoyed the video about your dogs and their Adventures
I'm glad that you like the videos. Thank you for watching and for the nice feedback.
Thank you for being responsible and running a pack of LGD. 🤗. This is how they are supposed to work - as a team. I see so many videos with ONE dog protecting the farm or flock. 😑
Thank you. I agree, they work best in a pack. And it makes for great playtime and companionship for them too.
We’ve always had two at a time, but now we have only a solo Kangal. I’m her backup, well I guess she is mine.
Good job & nice training !!! Nice to see you have your dogs back
Thank you. But always have had the dogs. They never have went away. Thank you though for nice comment.
@@BigHornMountainAlpacas I meant you were watching out for your dogs as much as they were watching out for you. We have 3 - an Akbash Tyr, Tornjak Freya, & Karackachan Ruckus we have no fences & live in the mountains in BC, Canada, they look after chickens, us & tourists
@@rrogue99 Oh I get what you were saying. haha. Yes, for sure they watch out for us but I'm right there watching out for them. I actually slept outside during that time to watch the dogs more than for the bear. Because I didn't want harm coming to one of my dogs if they went over a fence, which they have never done. But still. Watching out for each other. You sound like you have a great team of dogs too.
@@BigHornMountainAlpacas HA, an apostrophe makes all the difference, huh? I read it the same way you did, lol....
Commas are the same way:
"It's time to eat, grandma." vs. "It's time to eat grandma."
:))
@@TieDyeVikki Yes, for sure. lol .
I have a great Pyrenees/white lab mix that I absolutely love in & adore !He is every bit of a hound dog as your Ruthie!I can tell when the neighbor's cat has been in our garage or yard, because he'll track the steps the cat took..Love the video thanks for sharing! These dogs are awesome to have around! And we don't live on a farm, but I know I can count on protection,as well as trusting him, as guardian dogs have above avg intelligence, imho.. LOVE & praise is what mine lives for! 💓
Wonderful!
Great video!
First time viewer here.
You support your guard dogs like everyone should! That's awesome.
I appreciate the fence design, too: sturdy fencing with cut wood supporting it on the inside. Very effective and attractive.
You make a great argument in favor of more than just one or two dogs for a herd. Three is a triple threat, but a full house is unbeatable!
Thanks so much.
Thanks. I like watching working dogs
I'm glad that you liked it.
You forget to mention how fluffy they are and how often you just want to pet them^^
All the time.
This is very nice to see. Our boys don't have livestock they have us and are very protective. When Storm was little I'd take him for walks on the property and trained to listen and be quiet as well as point by looking where he was hearing the noises and we would investigate together. Ice, on the other hand, will bark and bark. Last summer they got a garter snake and you could tell they were proud of their catch.
Thank you! It sounds like Storm and Ice really love you. They guard what they love.
Awesome guardians!
The best, they really are. Thank you.
Wow! What a pack of beauties! My Great Pyr, Sailor needs a job 🥰
Thank you.
These dogs are beautiful they are bred for this they are known as bear killers and sometimes can be hard to train because they are fiercely independent.
I have not found that they are fiercely independent. I think once the human is part of the team they will also look to the human for support and advice. But yes, they are independent thinkers and could handle most situations all on their own.
Great dogs!
They are amazing!
Awesome wood pile!
Thanks 👍
Lovely dogs good music. Have you any cats? LGD'S Are the most amazing dogs. Pyreneese are so fluffy & gorgeous. A whole family of them ❤❤❤❤❤ wonderfull Xxx
Hi. Thank you. Yes, we have 4 cats. All rescues and all so special to us.
Awesome to see them to good work!
Thanks. They really are so dependable.
Good dogs. My 9 pounder does the same. Must be in all dogs!
Thank you. Sounds like you have a good little guardian there. :)
Love it. Happy Great Pyrs. Being allowed to do what they love, not stuck in a house or fenced yard.
Thanks. It makes me happy too seeing them do what they love.
beautiful pack.
I think so too! Thank you.
Our Great Pyrenees (Noah 155 pounds) is a big baby except when night fall comes in Northern Michigan. Then he is all business protecting the livestock from black bear and pretty much anything else. Except wild turkeys, he says no threats there.
Noah sounds like a wonderful guardian! Ours get like that at nightfall too. It's like a switch is switched and they turn from play to business. Then playful again in the morning.
Awesome dogs kudos
Thank you.
I have one Pyrenees and I breed Great Pyredanes, the Dane originally being a Boar hunter, later an estate guardian, so the mix is amazing. Akbash are fantastic! I would have went that way if I'd had the breeding stock, but I am happy with the Great Pyredanes. The hybridization gives them much better health and lifespan than either breed on it's own, you have the size and intelligence, fantastic with kids, even better if possible with animals of all types and sizes, tend to roam less, don't bark incessantly at leaves, and like the Pyr, a coyote stands no chance against a Pyredane pack. I love my LGDs!
I am a dog lover in general but oh those great pyrenees! I have chickens, ducks and sheep and live in the Green Swamp area of central Florida but because of my four great pyrs I have never lost anything to a predator. They are worth all the barking (that's their job after all) and the hole digging. We also have a newfoundland mix, two border collies, a very old cur and an old lab. They are the loves of my life.
That is awesome!
Right on!!! 😍
How wonderful
Thank you!
I had the pleasure if having a Great Pyrenees amazing Dogs!!! Although she was a city dog w/no herd to watch she would chase all the kids playing into a circle to watch them. She wouldnt hurt a fly yet on hind legs she was 7 ft tall & had the courage to face down any bear if needed. The funny thing about her every white car (apparently) looked like Mom to her -she wag her tail and prance around & was so glad to see them (any white car?? Really odd but entertaing. I didn’t know much about the breed when i first got her but when u look into the breed just amazing digs & companions!!! Highly recommend them as Family pet -if you lots of room to run😉
They are special for sure. Mine are mostly Akbash with some Great Pyr mixed in. David is half Great Pyr and Half Akbash though.
Beautiful Pyrenees to be sure. My girl is a rescue. 2 failed placements due to ignorance and hubris. I was familiar with the breed. She lives in an urban area with a decent yard and lots of walking. Several neighbors and their animals are in the “flock.”
I hope to have acreage and more Pyrenees one day.
Nice. Sounds like she now has a wonderful life with you. Thanks for rescuing her.
great channel
Thank you so much!
Thanks and greetings from Germany 👍✳️👍✳️👍✳️
Hello Marvona and thank you! Thanks for watching.
We have a couple of female Great Pyrenees on 5 acres. Unfortunately, we have neighbors who don't like the barking at night, so... we lock our livestock up at night and bring the dogs into the house. I envy your situation. Enjoy.
If you don't have a barking ordinance you should be ok to protect your livestock. But I understand not wanting to fight with neighbors. That's a tough situation.
Great guardians! My sister and brother in law have 2 Maremma (part pyreneese) guardians for their sheep and some smaller critters. Fortunately they don't have to deal with bears (it's not impossible) , but lots of coyotes, wolf, and snakes. They take their job very seriously besides being beautiful dogs.
Thank you.
Very impressive!
Thank you!
fantastic
Thank you so much 😀
Good girls! Good boys!
Yes they are. :)
Livestock guardian dogs are the best breeds on earth. In Portugal we have 4 diferent breeds of livestock guardian dogs.
I love my Pyarne. Turn 5 yesterday. We go for long walk with our son. Oh boy he love to pull 🤣
Happy birthday to your dog! :)
Yes! They are awesome! What in the world must your Feedmill be like?!
It's a lot but worth it. The dog's are the least expensive to feed.
That's a lotta dog!😲😍
Love those dogs
Thank you.
Love to see dogs working as they were originally bred to do.
maybe one day could you share a tip or two on how to "train" pyrs or do working dogs train each other or both? Could you share even one tip on what is most important humans help dogs understand that they need to do or not do and how to show them that? For instance licking ok, biting not ok. I got tackled by a pyr today and though it was the single most wonderful moment of my entire day I am supposed to be helping them learn to behave so that they can be adopted into family homes. How should I respond when 1 yr old pyr keeps mouthing my forearm and hand . I tried to calm, disengage and not reward with pets until he stopped but at some point this dog learned to mouth people...he is a rescue dog
they follow your lead and listen to your cues so well
Hello. I believe these dogs are such independent thinkers who just know how to do their job so we need to just support them in that. I use a lot of positive praise and just tell them what a great job they are doing. Lots of love, group play, and just letting them be who they are. It's nothing I could train them to do. And for me, I'm fine with my dogs mouthing me. They know to never bite down. I have a few that love to take my hand and it's an affectionate and playful thing, nothing that bothers me or nothing I'd want to stop. It's just how they communicate.
@@BigHornMountainAlpacas thank you kindly for your time and attention !
this is priceless your perspective. I find your answer fits what my intuition has been telling me about these dogs. I think in the life you provide them they can be themselves. So they dont have behavior problems. Also yes, the biting was never actually biting down. I am asking myself how this applies to the adolescents with emotional regulation problems I used to work with. Thank you so much.
@@BigHornMountainAlpacas lucky you with the playful mouthing... I usually get a cold wet nose right up my hoo haw! Little minx! Lol she laughs at me too!
Nice video and beautiful animals but would you please tell me at what age your dogs started protection work?
Thank you. They are a full family pack, so I think even as the 5 were a year old they were protecting right alongside their parents. And to a potential threat I think even as 1 year olds they looked and sounded intimidating. But I guess i'd say at 2 years of age they were all very qualified as livestock guardian dogs.
Looooove this!!!!!
Quick question, not grabbing the snake... instinct or conditioned?
Thank you. :)
Right on ✨🙏💞🙏✨
Thank you.
Awesome pack. That is the way to do it. You need two or more.
Thank you. I agree. They work really well in teams.
Congratulations to you and your dogs... A wonderful combination! I have one GP female who keeps our four small rescue dogs safe from coyotes. She is a gentle creature who turns into a "Ninja Cujo on Steroids" if any predator approaches our fence line...
She also alerts us to snakes...
Thank you and sounds like you are well protected there too. :)
Living the dream! I have one rescue pyr in an apartment. Dreaming of having a pack someday
Awe thanks. I love pack life. I bet you and your rescue pyr have a lot of fun too.
How on earth do you keep a Pyr in an apt? We had our Pyr for only 1 week on a fairly large yard but no fence. Wasn't enough. We gave her to a friend who has a fenced in 50 acre farm. She's never been so happy in her life!! Someday I'll have a farm too!!❤
@@invisiblewoman9684 He's older and laziest dog ever. He's happy with just a walk outside and that even tires him out. He's happiest next to us all day anyways, I guess we are his pack! We had the rescue do an evaluation of our apartment and made sure to get matched with a very calm older dog.
@@thedenteddaisy8750 You're so lucky!
This is way cool!
Thank you. I think they are cool too. :)
Yes u have a great pack!!!!!!!! I was part of a pack a miss everyone one of them
Thank you.
I have owned these dogs. They are #1 in my book.
Nice. They really are amazing dogs.
Remembering our wonderful Pyr Ice gone to the Rainbow bridge 8 years ago. We live on the Crest of a hill, Ice used to climb up on our picnic table, 135 lbs of dog, and bark in his booming voice to warn coyotes and evildoers. The bark was enough
So sorry for the loss of your Ice. He sounded like an amazing dog!
I found this video while looking for info on common skin problems with great Pyrenees, my Pyrenees Sweetie has been getting reaccuring hot spots? Do you have any information or tips? Thank you.
Hi. I've not had one yet with skin issues. I wish I could be of better help.
Treat for fleas, get them off chicken /salmon/lamb as those proteins are too “hot” for them
You need to shave just that spot and give them a steroid but make sure that you keep the shaved spot clean my lab was bad when it got really hot in summer
I love how I have a mother father and siblings dogs. I can't really remember seeing that before besides breeders
It was such a privilege to get to watch both Tacoma, the mom and David the dad both raise these pups up right. They are amazing parents and that made it easy for me too.
Whats name of wonderful music ?
It's free music from youtube. Not sure of the name.
Do you have siblings from a pair?
I haven't bred my female yet and I am wondering if I do about keeping the puppies.
We are about to be on 16 acres with 131 acres of trees behind us with black bears.
I have seen people having issues with 2 GPS or issues with litte mates and would love your thoughts!
I've always had siblings and they got along great. I first had 2 great pyr sisters that I brought here at 8 weeks of age. They were best friends, eating together, sleeping together and guarding our place together into teenage years until they passed. Now I have 5 siblings along with their parents and all are buddies. The two girls are very close and sweet to each other.
Please make videos on how to train livestock guardians. I want to be on a ranch one day
Hi. The livestock guardian breeds really just know what to do when the right environment is facilitated. They need fencing to keep them safe and also introductions to the animals that they will be guarding. It in their breeding to know what to do. I recently made a video called "Introducing New Animals To The Guardians And How The Bond." Once they bond to the animals it's very easy.
Can you explain the weak link thing to me? You said you slept outside with the alpacas as support to not be a weak link.
I thought you would be considered more on the upper categories, especially since we are technically apex predators.
What I meant by that is that I wanted to sleep with my guardian team outside where I could be their support and help my team rather than sleeping inside. And also I wanted to know what was going on with my animals as the bear was in the area.
I own 2. Great dogs
Nice. Akbash are so smart. Great Pyrenees too.
may you please share what song is used in this video? beautiful pack! thank you!
Hi. Thank you. It was just a free song with no copyright issues that TH-cam provides for free. I don't even know if it has a name.
Do you guys have a problems with wolves in your area as well as bears and mountain lions? I have heard that spiked collars are a good thing for guardian dogs to have if they deal with wolves.
We do have wolves but my guardians play and a spiked collar would decrease their quality of life greatly. A jaw could get caught on another's collar but most likely they would not rough house and play as much. I have 7 and the threat is not so much that 7 would need to wear spiked collars their whole lives.
Does anyone know the name of the song that is playing?
The song is a copyright free song from youtube. I'm not sure the name.
Which breed are this? Great Pyrenees or Maremma Sheep Dog?
Hello. They are Akbash and Great Pyrenees mixes. Both are livestock guardian dog breeds.
Is this Toby's family. ? From gold shaw
Hello. I don't know Toby.
Have these dogs descended from central Asian shepherd look similar but the peranum have a nicer more cured tail
Hi. They are Akbash mostly with a little Great Pyrennes mixed in. The Akbash is from Turkey and the Great Pyrenees from the Pyrenees Mountains.
I have a rescued LGD and I just realized how fat he has gotten when compared to your pup's lol once these fires quit I need to start taking him out again. If I may suggest, get some go pro's and put them on the dogs that will keep them on. Watching LGDs in action is always a privilege and a treat.
Hi. These pups are mostly Akbash so under all that fur, they have a greyhound-like build. So yours might be fine, depending on what breed he is. For example, Great Pyrenees naturally can be a little bulkier than the Akbash.
You might as well have a pride of lions guarding your place.
We do feel safe.
We have a great pyr who is 14 months. She raises hell when a car pulls in our driveway and god forbid someone gets out of it. We got her to protect our sheep and chickens, but she won't stay in their fenced area alone. if we leave her alone in there, she just jumps and whines at the gate begging to be let out. How can we train her to stay and protect them?
I've found they don't need any training, just bonding with the animals. I've never had a single guardian though. The least I've had was two of them. They really do well with a buddy.
@@BigHornMountainAlpacas the thing is, she bonds with the animals while we’re there with her, but as soon as we leave she wants to come with us and not stay with the animals.
@@Simon-mv2xm It sounds like she really wants to be with her people. Every dog is different. I think it would help to get her a buddy dog. Another guardian dog breed.
