I once had a Newfoundland, great dog.

Had to move out of state, sold a car and buyer took the dog too. Worked out good!

Love the Pyreneesies!

Had a dairy goat herd when living in Texas, about 40 strong.

Got a Komondor to protect the herd, and my small kids. (LOL the human kind)

Worked good for both jobs.

Put the pup in with the goats when it was young, and brought it up with them, switching off with around the kids a lot.

Their dreadlocks protect them from attacks from predators, although usually they just have to stare them away.


Here is an example of that, pic found on the www

Komondors make *me* go away.

[their fur makes me feel itchy, just looking at them]

;D

Really amazing dogs, though.

Not for apartment dwelling couch potatoes.

They *need* to herd and guard.

I have 2 goats and the thought of dogs slaughtering them enrages me.

I used to work with a guy at my plant in Detroit until he was transferred to another plant in shelbyville, KY.

He and his wife bought a nice house in the country as well as two huskys. Unfortunately he chose not to have a fenced in yard and the two dogs ended up killing one of his neighbor's cows.

Really stupid on his part because not only did he have to pay for the cow but he had to put down the dogs as well.......

Oh, hell.

My fence is insanely secure [it’s fences within fences, really] and exists to protect the outside world from my dogs and vice versa.

I *must* have a fence.

When I moved here, planting fence happened before getting indoor plumbing.

[very old 18th century house]

Priorities.

calex, well said.

ditto here, ranch country in California. there aren't any wild dogs running around our ranches, none, and damn few coyotes. shoot on sight and its perfectly legal, even encouraged by the wildlife officers.

anyone out driving on the ranch has a .223 in the truck and it gets used. also, we have hog hunting dogs, they are warriors and will kill any wild dog they can catch, and they catch pretty good

wild hogs now, that's a different story. they are everywhere, but they don't bother the livestock.
