She is actually 100% correct in what she is saying. The only thing she left out is that if you don't have enough large flock guardian dogs watching over the flock, often times a larger pack of wolves will come in and kill your gurdian dogs and actually eat them down to the skeleton. So in wolf country, keeping 2 or 3 giant guardian dogs to watch over a roaming flock of sheep, is simply not enough. You need several that work together to keep everyone safe.
Other than that, she's spot on. Wolves do not elect to fight a Boz, Kangal, or Central Asian Shepherd 1v1. Wolves aren't stupid. They don't want to risk injury. Thus, when i hear people say that their guardian "un-alived" a wolf, I automatically know they are either lying, misinformed, or simply uneducated. Because it just doesn't happen. For a wolf is much faster than any guardian dog alive and won't be in any situation where it is caught by a pack of guardians, and a wild wolf will not stay and fight a large guardian 1v1. So when I hear people say "Wolf Killer" dogs. I think to myself..."Uh Huh. Did you see it happen with your own eyes?"
Fact of the matter is that we humans like to believe the dramatic. That's it.
And for no extra charge, let me just say this... ranchers are lucky that wolves don't average the weight of some of these large guardians and better be glad these wolves have a flight response over a fight response. Because pound for pound, a wolf is VASTLY more powerful and tougher than any dog breed alive. It's just that dogs have been bred to be larger and also have been bred to fight first and ask questions later.
