    In November 2022 a single Great Pyrenees named Casper protected a small flock of sheep in Decatur GA from a pack of 11 coyotes, killing 8 of the coyotes. Casper (2 yrs old) nearly died; his scalp and torso were flayed open, and lost his tail in the attack that lasted 30 minutes. He survived, but will never work again

    They are probably miles from the nearest logging road, a 6+ hour drive on Alaska/BC backroads to reach a highway, then an hour or three down the highway to reach any vet. Whitehorse and Juneau are probably the only places with permanent vet clinics within 500 miles. The normal plan is to drive a truck with an ATV in the back up from a base camp that is only a few hours away, use the ATV to get the dog to the road, then drive them either to the camp or straight to town. For an evening or overnight injury, that won't start until first light of the next day, because the risk of having the recovery team drive off the side of a mountain in the dark isn't worth it. The group of people who accompany the flock probably have only the most basic of animal care training, no facilities for administering care, and very few veterinary supplies - because they are literally backpacking through a remote wilderness with supply drops when they cross a logging road every few days. If the unsedated injured dog bites a person - or one of the other dogs defends the injured dog from the person trying to administer care, then you've made the situation worse and now need to medevac a person.

    When there are wolves around you should always have a wolf collar on your dog. To protect them from the pack hurting and killing it. Bears around as well get a wolf collar for each and every dog you have that are protecting that herd. They are brave enough to take on even those they shouldn't alone. Wolf collar ups their ability to survive a attack. You need to make sure each one is confined for a period of time to get the rest needed to extend their life. Where they feel things are safe enough to get the rest needed. Invest in more dogs if needed. 1500 sheep is allot of sheep for 6 or 7 to cover.

    I grew up in a 300 year old factory town of Lynn, Massachusetts. My mother a nurse, received Hercules Hercules, a great Pyrenees‘s g from a grateful hospice family, We had no idea what that little 6 pound ball for fur. we didn’t have much of a yard, so he came a latchkey dog. Roaming all of Lynn as they want to do. Over the years wherever we walked him people knew him we heard stories about Hercules, taking care of cats he always had a cat with him everywhere he went different cats. he broke up a fight right in front of me between a German shepherd and a pitbull, communicating not fighting, and it stopped. Pitbulls were outlawed in Lynn for a time. It was scary. Nothing scared Hercules not because he could or wanted to hurt but because he knew he was the dad. during the early 90s, my brother, a sergeant on the Lynn police force received a call that a huge white dog went after a husband hurting his wife. We had to assume it was Hercules as the polar bear who is 130 pounds what animal had already gone when the officers arrived . For me, it is no wonder is no wonder why his breed is the progenitor of all of our best friends. thank you.

    Shaving them makes it worse as the outer coat takes years to grow back. They would be super high maintenance during that time - and they might not survive the winter without the water repellent outer coat. If the dogs were trained to tolerate grooming, the dogs would stay in the shepherds camp long enough, and the shepherds have room in their backpacks for grooming supplied (two brushes, mat tool, bottle of detangler), then they could probably work on each dog a little every few days, but that is probably a losing battle.

    Actual working Pyrs can be off on their own for a few months at a time, that's why they developed the personalities they have. They want to work with you, but they're not dogs that are going to do tricks. They're going to do their own thing, and they're quite predatory towards small animals that are not a part of their flock/herd. They'll kill and eat a squirrel or quail, or whatever else they can, and they roam. They don't stray very far, but they go off on their own and they won't heel unless they're domesticated as a housepet. Working Pyrs though are not housepets, not even farming pyrs are quite the same as a Pyr like you're seeing here. This is the arctic, not family run farm in Arkansas.

Something like Advantage or Frontline… or even a “dust bath” of diatomaceous earth? I’d think it would be beneficial to the dogs’ overall stress levels, to be pest-free for a few months, especially out in the bush like that. God, just the amount of ticks and bugs that could get into that fur… lots of disease and parasite potential. But regardless, they likely do their work even better without fleas and ticks!

Therefore they are not required to be be necessarily friendly towards humans. Most working Pyrenees are rather standoffish from humans.. It is not their PRIMARY CONCERN. This is opposed to those who are raised as pets Again one has to remember that the difference lies in who they are raised to protect. Humans or Flock.

    A working dog doesn’t have to be neglected in death. No dog deserves that. And yes I live on a ranch in the mountains and yes I have a working dog and house dogs. None would be treated like they are disposable. We all have each others backs.

    Very weird story, something fishy about it. Seven dogs and just one of them had to face a wolf pack? That alone has veracity problems. When there is a threat, a dog BARKS which is the call to arms for the other dogs. Secondly why don't you carry bear spray? And the notion that you just let your dog die and didn't know about it is revolting. Again, you would have known because the dogs alert the owner by BARKING. These dogs are the OPPOSITE of mute. Definite dislike on this video. BTW, you have no business trying to handle a herd that is so large that you don't know what your fellow sheepherders (dogs) are doing or where they are.

    Pretty sure bear spray is not going to help when you're in the north wilderness of Canada. The dogs, absolutely. They've been doing just that for several thousand years. And, if you look them up, there are numerous French videos about them. The Greater Ontario Pyrenees website has a lot of detail on the work these dogs are doing as well. I know we humans like to pretend dogs can't survive without us, but these dogs are left guarding herds in higher mountain pastures here in the US as well as other parts of the world. My brother has met them mountain bike riding, said he just backed off and went around the herd, no issue. And the French govt has made a film in both French and English with instructions on how to safely pass a herd with guarding dogs.

    I found it odd only one went into the fight myself. I know that a few I’d believe would stay with the heard but you would think at least a second and possibly even a third one would investigate. Every other video I’ve basically seen has always had multiple dogs answering the call of the threat.

    Clearly you have not herded even a small flock up in the brush in rough terrain, where things can get spread out a bit and it is easy to lose line of sight. These dogs think independently, so they don't call off like the Border Collies do they will do what they think they have to do to protect flock and shepherd to the death. I have run Pyrenees, Border Collies, and sheep in similar conditions. The other dogs may have stayed to guard the flock(they do divide up labor that way, don't know how they work it out, the others may have also not been as close or not been as confident). Bear spray would have been useless.

    Great Pyrenees are notorious for roaming the perimeter by themselves I consider than the number one gentle giant of all dog breeds but don’t mess with anything they care about. I’ve seen my Pyrenees clear a 3 1/2 foot fence. I can just imagine what 100 pounds flying at you with teeth would be lie.

    I agree with using guardian breeds to protect farms but not putting their lives at risk because Humans decide to parade prey animals in grizzly and wolf habitat. How about forestry change their practice of clear cutting swaths of land and do selective logging where saplings have success without risking sheep or dogs' lives.

    People in the comments talking about them just filming and letting cuddles need to chill. It's a reenactment. No way would they film the dog dying. Also, you have to understand when living in a remote place like Alaska you don't have the convenience to get help immediately. It would probably take a day or two possibly more to get a hold of a local vet, let alone travel to them. The owner of Cuddles probably already could tell from the wounds, CAUSED BY TWO WOLVES, that there was nothing they could do to save Cuddles. Not to mention the thousands of dollars in vet bills probably if somehow cuddles were to survive long enough to see a vet, which most living in remote/isolated places probably can't afford (def not on a summer job being a shepherd to sheep). Just look at the case of Casper in Georgia who fought off the pack of 11 coyotes. In one of the interviews, the owner thought he might have to put Casper "down" from his wounds. It's a miracle that Casper survived days with his wounds and another miracle that the owner had Casper's expenses covered by a non-profit organization. It shows that owning a dog in a remote/isolated area isn't sunshine and rainbows and sometimes you have to make hard choices.

    Why dont you pick up a book before you spread another lie. SHE was not killed. In fact she is now a millionaire because she CHOSE to ride her bike directly onto a sheep herders flock and thr guardians of that flock did their jobs and paid with their lives. THESE dogs are some of the most docile animals on Earth beyond their jobs and I am disgusted you would without any knowledge write this. I have been around Pyrenees my entire life. And they are as gentle as they come.

    @@mcallo9357 And my supposed misinformation somehow makes this dog breed less dangerous? My sister has raised these dogs and won awards for 40 years. She knows their danger and tries to domesticate all her pyres and only sells those that cannot be in a family to farmers/ranchers. Some of her puppies were in the Disney film 'Santa Paws.' My own standard poodles have played with some of these dogs, but certain ones were out-of-bounds. They were too mean to let in with their own siblings. Pyres are great ranching dogs.....I will leave it there.
