Hello I'm looking for a guardian dog for my flock. I want a Great Pyreneess. But I keep getting told to get a herding dog.
Like a border collie. Anyone have any thoughts.
Thanks.

Amen and amen. Thank you! I live in a rural area and the number of LGD's showing up in dog shelters is breaking my heart. Too many people setting their dogs up for failure because they don't understand the breed. I have 2 GP's and I tell people who ooh and aah....do your homework, research and read...yes, guarding is instinctive but....your dog will still need training and help learning what you expect it to guard. The most heartbreaking thing I hear on a regular basis is a LGD dumped at a shelter because it killed chickens.or a local ad....loves the goats, kills chickens, free to good home....where someone will jump at the "free dog" and take their "instinctive guard dog" home and repeat the cycle...until or unless someone who has a clue steps in and rescues the poor LGD. I have watched this unfold TOO MANY times and I just want to scream. Thank you for being honest and realistic. It is much needed....
