Is this at all common with guard dunkeys?  We are the verge of buying a donkey to keep in one of our pastures.  We had problems with one of the Great Pyranesse dogs that we got as a "bonus" with the last crop of blackbellys we bought.  He was older (about 9 years) and a little unpredictable.  He attacked and killed one of the smallest ewes in the pasture.  I know of another shepard in the area who has also had trouble with his old male Pyranese.  We thought donkeys might be the answer, but now I am not so sure...

Any input on this would be appreciated.
