Ha ha true ☮️💜

We live in a very rural area, with coyotes and feral hogs. The feral hogs tear up the pasture. We have 5 Great Pyrenees dogs, all about 2 years old now. At first the neighbor was not happy about our dogs showing up on his property and even threatened to shot them. We explained that these dogs are Great Pyrenees and they are guard dogs and will not kill his calves. One day this past spring the neighbor’s wife came over and said that her husband wanted us to keep the dogs in their kennels because they were expecting calves. We again explained about the dogs, and we even pointed out that we don’t have any fresh digging in our pasture because the dogs keep the feral hogs off the pasture. Last week the neighbor came by to visit and he was telling us that our dogs are now guarding his cattle and was happy about that. We also asked him if the feral hogs were still digging up his pasture and he admitted that he had seen no recent digging. We all smiled. Great Pyrenees are good dogs in a rural environment. Can’t say enough about how good this breed of dog will guard and keep predators away.

The dog seemed proud, waging his tail after the victory.

I live in Wyoming, blessed to live in Buffalo, Wyoming at the foot of the Big Horn Mountains. One day on a drive up in the mountains we came across a large flock of sheep grazing about 100 ft. from a fence keeping them from getting on the roadway. Little did we know they were being guarded by dogs. We got out of our vehicle to stand by it and watch the sheep graze for awhile, when out of nowhere we saw two very large dogs charging toward us. They meant business!!!! We jump in the car and sped off, only to see one of the dogs jump the fence and chase us down the roadway. To be sure, I now have deep respect for guard dogs.

My boyfriend was driving us down the back roads, as usual. And there’s this bigger house we never really pay attention to, seems to be a farm with a huge yard and fenced in area. I’m always looking at the horses as we drive by. And one night at 2am driving the back road at night, a bigger dog came up to our car barking and we stopped. It appeared from the fenced in yard by the farm, it came from the darkness, we almost didn’t see it until it came around and got in front of our car. We didn’t know what to do, we originally thought the dog was a stray, but we didn’t know why it would stop our car, we thought it needed help. Until 2 or 3 other big dogs came from the darkness in the yard, almost circling our car and barking, sniffing. We tried driving away a bit, but they seemed to be trailing the back of the car, barking and walking alongside the house, protecting it. My first instinct was to try and find out if something was wrong with them. But I realized, those were the guard dogs of the farm, protecting the horses that I look at everyday, about 40 of them, all different shades of color. I love that I’ve never seen any people outside the farm, I’ve never seen the dogs before, but now I know the horses are protected late at night, and I know not to drive by there at 2am again lol.

The "great" in Great Pyrenees name isn't about the size of the mountain range, it's about the loyalty, courage and dedication of these wonderful dogs. They have been bred to deal with wolves and bears, so coyotes are "tis but a scratch" to them.

I've raised and loved these dogs for almost 20 years. They guarded my Goats. There's nothing I can say that will be enough about these Valiant Protectors. They will fight the world if their "Charges" are threatened, and Die willingly and happily to see their charges safe. I sold my Goat herd last year, but kept 2 with me. I could not bear to part with them. They are 1/2 inside and 1/2 outside Pets and have a life here with me for as long as they live. I Owe them more than I'll ever be able to repay. In the almost 20 years I had these wonderful dogs protecting my Goats, I had some Die from one reason or another, BUT I never lost even one Goat to Predators. They've been bred for over 1000 years for One Job & They Do That Job Magnificently Well.

I was covered in white fluffy fur, all stuck to the oil lol. Wish they had a longer lifespan.

the loyalty of dogs knows no bounds...my buddie, a bluetick named Sadie, literally stared down a full grown mama bear when we were on a hike after i accidentally came across a pair of her cubs. Once mama stepped out on the trail Sadie walked up, stomped her feet and barked like ive never seen her do before. she was ready to die for me and that was really something

We have had two Pyranees in our life. Absolutely the most wonderful dogs. We lived in Western Nebraska with many coyotes. We didn’t have sheep but we had cows, chickens, cats, horses , Border Collies and donkeys. One day a pack of coyotes was across the road, our Pyranees went across the road and the coyotes circled him. Husband went in the house for a rifle. Those coyotes started jumping in and nipping at our dog but not actually touching him. The dog circled and looked at each coyote. We watched and eventually the coyotes backed off and left.

As long as I can recall the coyotes here run in large groups of about 20 or so and they will come right up in the yard even when you're outside with bonfire and lots of noise. I know they're solitary in general but i assumed large groups were normal for hunting, it's just what I've always seen. What a determined dog though, he obviously continued the fight long after it was necessary. He was going to make sure none of them came back. So happy he pulled through.

I grew up with a Great Pyrenees -- Brutus -- huge dog 175 pounds. He was the meekest, most loving dog who took orders from our two Pugs. He had another side that came out one day when a German Shepherd attacked him. What a fight! Brutus took off an ear and sent the Shepherd squealing down the street. Then he went back to waging his tail and being loving.

Taking him to a vet should not have been a question. He was clearly severely wounded. And, why didn’t the electrical fence keep the coyotes out? Also, moving in large packs could mean they are starving and want to survive at all costs. Consider, climate change, large wildfires, unprecedented floods, hurricanes, etc. there is not much Left for them to eat. All and all I’m elated that he survived from his gaping wounds protecting his livestock. He is a hero and deserves to be recognized as such.

In France they are called Patou. He did his job well. As puppies, they stay in the barn with the sheep. This allows them to bond with them. They are beautiful dogs. Cute the baby sheep wagging its tail next to Casper. Glad he is recovering nicely. He is a hero.

As a person who grew up with horses I have great admiration for the beautiful dogs like Casper that live to protect their four legged charges. Casper =absolute hero and incredibly brave.

Dear, dear Casper. God bless him and all the people who helped save him with their loving concern. Casper has no idea he's hero or how many people have fallen in love with him. ❤

Hope he has a amazing life. I’ve got a Husky/Pyrenees who guards the couch, beds and various other things. He’s 109lbs and is a sweet doggo.

Dogs are tough as hell. I have seen dogs recover from serious injuries without even limp after they healed. I have livestock and four dogs. None are LSGD but they are all working dogs. They protect the animals from all sorts of predators. We have had mountain lions, bears, coyotes , fox, badgers, raccoons, hawks and eagles on our property and the dogs go after all of them. I can’t imagine life without the dogs for security and safety.

I’m so glad to hear your response because dogs are the best deterrents to predators. Packs of dogs are what most farms need and we know there are no shortages of dogs. It’s too bad a charity doesn’t make this a mission to place dogs on all farms with livestock to act as guards

i am on a fixed income. I sometimes can't make it to the end of the month. But I assure you that if i had any extra money it would go to this dog. In a heartbeat.

Pyrs will protect you and your family just as vigorously. They have the 2nd strongest bite force in the dog world at 700 PSI. For comparison, a Pit Bull has a bite force of 235 PSI. They are the best family dogs as well as livestock guardians. They are very loving and can be BIG couch potatoes...until they hear or see something! Instant guard mode! They are bit barky, but if you live in a rural area, you want that, to let you know something not normal is going on. Don't expect to train them like a Golden Retriever, they don't do tricks. They protect!

Aww. He reminds me of my big male Great Pyrenees Atticus. He’s so loyal to his herd. He sleeps with them at night. No coyotes come into the yard anymore.

My friend had a Great Pyrenees guarding injured race horses. He was the sweetest huge dog I ever met. Very serious workers and all business whatever job you give them to do. He too fought off coyotes when they showed up. Never lost one horse thanks to him!

Casper The Warrior! Dogs are pure love and loyalty and we should be worthy of such devotion.

Casper looked so tired in that photo, especially with those bandages. I want to be out there by his side protecting those sheep 🐑 too!! I'm glad he's doing better. Dr. Coleman and staff are awesome.

These Guardian Livestock Dogs -- both Great Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepherds are the best. So brave and courageous. They can take down most predators like coyotes, bears, and wolves.

I have a working Great Pyrenees. These dogs are a Godsend! I live in a hollar with hills on both sides of me. My girl was about a year old. It was just at dusk, loosing light fast. One of my goats was in the throws of kidding when we heard coyotes howling, close, on my side of the ridge. My GP comes a flying down the other hill, crosses the creek and puts a run to those coyotes! Thankfully there weren't that many so they weren't as emboldened as the large pack in this story. What a scary event! I am ever so grateful I have her here! She is an important part of my farm! What saddens me are the comments I read from people who have never run a farm, never raised livestock, are probably a bunch of city slickers who have no clue about country life, criticizing the owner. Out here, you better learn to do a lot of doctoring yourself because country vets are as scarce as hens teeth, and nearly impossible to get on the weekend or holidays. And then the government passes a new regulation in the dark of night to make it even harder, if not impossible, for us to treat our animals if need be! I'm sure there's going to be a bunch of dead animals because of it!

@@ezlow1065 As a farmer I now can not buy antibiotics for my animals from a feed store any more. I now have to have a prescription from a vet. Doesn't sound bad on the surface, right? Here's the deal, it is EXTREMELY difficult to get a vet out to the farm. Country vets are as scarce as hens teeth around here! I am EXTREMELY lucky IF I can get one out here for an emergency in time to save the animal. More times than not, we farmers have to learn to do our own vet work. Animals can go down, and die, very quickly if they are not treated as soon as possible. I lost a goat because I did not have the proper medication on hand when I discovered her. I now make sure I have what I might need on hand. When my supply of antibiotic runs out, if I can't get a vet to give me a prescription before I actually need it, I could lose animals. A BETTER solution would have been to have antibiotics available in smaller vials. I have to buy 100ml vials, which is the smallest available. The dosage for my goats is 1-3 ml for 1-3 days (depending on why it's being given, and size of the animal).Once that vial has been opened, I have 60 days to use it before I have to throw it away. I have had to throw away 99 mls of antibiotic because I can not get it in smaller vials. See the problem?

When I heard how many surgeries, the owners must have been in shock when he came home. Goodest boy ever!❤❤❤❤❤

Yes, these dogs are simply amazing. We have an ancestral home high in the Apennines. One day I drove to a nearby spring. A large flock of sheep were w.atering. Two of these dogs ran to the car and would not allow us to open the doors until the flock moved on. They set up road blocks at the same time every day when it's time to move the flocks to pens at night.

What a brave angel. GPs are remarkable dogs and this beautiful boy exemplifies his breed, his heart, his soul.

This dog is such a good brave boy, I was so happy to hear that he made it through. I had a bit of a laugh, though. The farmer said that he had taken Casper in to see if he would do a good job and could stay on the farm. Pretty sure Casper proved himself quite thoroughly 😂❤

According to other comments here, the reason Casper took two days to return home is because he tracked the remaining coyotes to their den, and made sure he'd killed every last one of them before he even thought about anything else. Pretty incredible, IMHO.

I have a Great Pyrenees named Teddie, and although I know full well he could take down the coyotes in the field yards away, I still feel extremely protective of him ! I protect him 😂 He's been charged and attacked by smaller dogs but he only pins them down. He never hurt smaller animals. I think he knows the difference between a real threat and a nuisance. He is overly protective of me, however, and he defers to my Dachshund. They're very soulful dogs, unlike all others and when he passes, they'll probably need to sedate me. We/humans don't deserve them 🐾💓🐾

this is why dogs were domesticated 20,000+ years before the first farm animal over 33,000 years ago. they are fiercely protective of their pack members while being just as loyal and loving

I probably shouldn't say this but that dog is a good example for many human beings who don't seem to understand basic responsibilities in life.
