We have one Great Pyr we raised from a pup. He is great. We "rescued" some llamas and the male (after he was neutered) is the best type of guard we could hope for.
The baby that was born here on our property does good. Seems like only the mom can't stand the sheep. She turns her nose up, but at least she doesn't hurt them.

Some of our first were mixed with Florida native [whatever that is supposed to be] and have never had any problems with coyotes. Just some "retrained guard dogs" once and a few years ago a Rottwieller (sp?). I can't afford to buy a Llama or donkey for that matter. I am on a very fixed income and Llamas here are sky high. A dog has to be raised with the sheep, so that would be out, too.Some people around here have Great Pyrenees ... but these were strays they took in and they think I will pay $350. for one? I think not. Our double barrel shotgun and patience are all we have, I think. ----- Original Message ----- From: "john & judy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <blackbelly@lists.blackbellysheep.info> Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2007 5:30 PM Subject: Re: [blackbelly] postings p.s. on that last post. get a donkey or llama. I have both and they will both run a coyote down and kill it. You have to be proactive to take care of your flock _______________________________________________ This message is from the blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info _______________________________________________ This message is from the blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
