I've no doubt they make great LGD's, but standing guard and warding off a few coyote and going toe-to-toe with a human aggressor are two very different things and require very different attributes. Most LGD's, with the exceptions of some the eastern and asian breeds, were bred specifically to be neutral or outright friendly with humans, but still be aggressive with animal predators. A Great Pyrenees has protective instincts, but most of them don't have the temperament to get in a protracted fight with a human trying to do them harm. The overwhelming majority of dogs are inclined to go into flight or avoidance mode when seriously confronted by a human; there are only a few breeds (and within those breeds very select working lines) that have been bred and trained over the years to confront and go into fight mode with a human rather than try to evade one.A Great Pyrenees does not fold over. They are fearless and will fight to the death. Don't let their appearance or gentleness fool you.
