Near to my house here in Texas one of the ranchers has a flock of sheep. He has a couple of Great Pyrenees that guard them. I stopped one day to admire the dogs from a distance. They ran up to me about 20 feet away and just sat down and looked at me. They were between myself and the sheep. They were not aggressive nor threatening. However, it was very plain what they meant. "Do Not Get Near the Sheep."
Those are good dogs.
Yes they are. Our neighbor now has 4 of them.....and I have no clue as to how he feeds those things! They're huge.
Chewey was the first male dog they placed to guard the geese. He would sit in the middle of the road and make everyone drive around him. If you stopped...he would come up to the car and stick his massive head in the window to look you over.
Someone stole Chewey and the whole neighborhood grieved. They bought 3 new pups...but a few months later...Chewey showed up again. I guess the food bill was a bit more than the thieves bargained for. *chuckle*
