Thank you, I will keep that in mind about the Pyranees.

I am considering relocating to a farm and buying a small flock of sheep. Using a dog to stay with the sheep is something I’ve been looking into.

Pyranees are natural guard dogs. They don’t really have to even be trained for it. My sister’s dog just loves all little animals. In GA and NC they use them for the goat herds.

You might also consider a Maremma. It is an Italian sheep dog. They are bred specifically , like Pyranees, to guard the sheep and kill wolves & coyotes.

I would get two though, not just one.
