[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1819570, member: 32879"] I have had good LGDs and bad LGDs. The good ones are nigh indispensable when you have sheep or goats. They have never bonded with my cattle like they do the sheep and goats. Sadie, a 16 year old Anatolian X Great Pyrenees who died last year was one of the good ones. Before she died she trained Caesar, a full stock neutered male Great Pyrenees. He only leaves the sheep to accompany my Border Collie on mid morning mole digging adventures but does not stay away long. He rarely ranges more than a quarter mile from the sheep. They are impressive looking creatures that wow visitors with their mere presence and may deter some two legged as well as four legged potential predators. They hate coyotes around the sheep and raccoons in the sweet corn and attack them with a vengeance. The mere shadow of a buzzard passing over brings them into action and they try to keep them in the air and away. They really do not bother anything else. The bad ones roam and are hard on chickens. Some even regard lambs as wooly chew toys while they are still in the puppy stage. All in all, without a good LGD it would be difficult for me to operate as I do. [/QUOTE]
