Great Pyrenees. Related to the Maremma Sheepdog and Kuvasz (Hungary), Akbash Dog (Turkey) and Polish Tatra or Polski Owczarek Podhalański, and somewhat less closely to the Newfoundland and St. Bernard.

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
