Found body minus head and skin on neck - leave flock in?

Yeah, they do look sweet - but they are bred to protect livestock and fight wolves and even bear and mountain lions - they are actually pretty easy to tick off - almost had to return one to the breeder since they did not get along for a while - but they are sweet to people and overall great dogs

not sure how well our would do in a flight - I know the female moves in on intruders - the male seems to bark more - when we had a stunk come in, she got sprayed

it was hilarious - two 135 lbs dogs and a 150 lbs person running around the skunk and the little 3 lbs critter just went about its business as if we were not there - I had to laugh

our female Maremma, however, circled the skunk with intent to bite, I think - she circled in closer and closer until the skunk decided she was a threat and sprayed her

when a squirrel lost its babies out of the nest, he let me take it to a wildlife rehabber but she ate the one she found - our female Maremma seems to be more serious, even though she looks darl'in, too

Maybe the will surprise both of us. Seriously you need to dispatch that raccoon. He/She will be back. And won't care what you want.

I’m so sorry to hear about your guinea I lost an awesome rooster to a mean bear last spring so I know what your feeling,my condolences I would kill the raccoon and I love all animals do you’re dogs go after the guineas if not let them out together so the dogs will protect them. Or watch your pets while they range and if you see that pesky kritter you could get a wildlife officer to relocate it too if you don’t want to kill it or have it kill your precious babies

The other day the racoon spent two days in the oak tree, after the female had chased him up there at 4:30 am - see how high it went (the little spot in the tree, waaay up there)?

Sorry to say but those dogs look so sweet. I can't see them attacking even a raccoon. They look like pushovers.

The attitude of a dog can not and should not be based off of looks. Those dogs could shred a raccoon if they catch one.

The dogs can get badly hurt by a raccoon if they don’t know what they’re doing. Trap it and kill it, at least by using her as bait she can help save her friends

Be careful of spreading false information.

Looks are deceiving.
