Hi
WE recently lost four chickens in our flock due to a hawk. Today we lost two more and
signs point to a dog attack. We may have lost more than two. WE had problems
with dogs this past spring and the dog warden was useless. We are looking to adopt a Great
Pyrenees or whatever dog is best to protect our flock as our dog has been great but she is old
now and beyond helping us with much. Today we lost our beautiful Bantam Ameraucauna rooster Pebbles who we have had since 2006 and our Delaware mix rooster Diamond. I cannot handle much more of this. DH has been out with a shotgun but I doubt the dog or dogs will be back; they were here
and gone in half an hour. NO sign of them. If they do come back they are dead beyond a doubt.
Please let me know if anyone has had success with the Great Pyrenees as a guard dog for their flock as we may have an opportunity to adopt a two yo female from a shelter. What sort of personality do they have what is their intelligence level etc.
Thanks
