Great Pyrenees are wonderful livestock guardian dogs. They are sweet and so gentle. Quietly coming up for a pet and just sitting by your side (even leaning into you) and you can feel the devotion they display through their quietness. However, that same quiet stealth demeanor or even that lazy looking dog is immediately on go at the first moment a threat rears its ugly head even from a distance. When I step outside my house at night and hear eerie packs of coyotes, howling, and yipping I know the sheep and chickens are safe. These wonderful dogs are letting the night threats know all night they are awake and ready for any battle that might come their way. There daytime napping isn’t what it is, they always have one ear listening to any possible threat on the ground or in the air. Take a moment and research the history of how amazing the dogs. It will not disappoint.
