Hi there,
Soji and Fruitquake, ay yi yi. He (hubby) has collars around them, supposedly to keep them within boundaries (can't think of the name of those devices). I don't think they work and wish we had the thingies that go underground. Maaaan, we were driving down the street last week and...
We have Great Pyrenees. Hubby has already purchased them and NOW he has TWO (litter mates; a boy and a girl). He saw their parents who are working guard dogs on a farm. So far Fruitquake and Soji do not mess with the chickens (I doubt a lot of "protection" is going on between yaw'll and me)...
We have two GPs newly joined our family. This will be our second time with this breed. we are in S Georgia, 80s yesterday.
All the research I did (Google searches) indicate emphatically DO NOT shave GP fur. They will shed during warm weather. Much more to it, Internet = a wealth of information.
Ours arrived yesterday (by surprise TO ME) so I got to reading about the Pyr. I found out Pyrenees have a double coat and we should NOT be cutting on their fur. I'll try and find the article/info where I found this. It was titled something like 10 Myths about the Pyrenees.
Ahh, found it...
