After waiting 2 years to get a Great Pyrennes Puppy to guard my chickens, ducks and geese, I picked up my 9wk old bundle of fluff on 10/7. Paid $$$$ for him, but felt it was worth it to finally be free of the worry while free ranging them. After careful supervision over the past month, he barely paid attention to them so there wasn't any need for correction. He was spending all day long running around outside with them, and locked in next to them at night. Imagine my surprise when on Wed. 11/2 I find a young duck mauled to death and missing her feathers, skin and meat from the back of her neck down past her wings. Surely this innocent little guy didn't do it but then I came home Thursday to find a second duck badly mauled but alive. Same injuries as the first. I slather on infection ointment and put her in the hospital. Tell my boyfriend, that new puppy CAN NOT be trusted and we will have to start over with training. Apparently boyfriend doesn't believe me, so he lets cute little ball of fluff out this morning after I leave for work and now my Amercian Lavendar Ice goose is dead. I am sick to my stomach to think that I just spent all this money on a dog that has now killed and concerned that he can never been trusted alone with the poultry. Is there hope that I can retrain him as he is only 12 weeks old? The breeder has said she would take him back, but I don't want to give up on him. Because of work, I don't have a lot of time to spend training him during the week, but spent the entire weekend monitoring him and correcting him whenever he showed any interest in the chickens, ducks or geese. Boyfiends not reliable to do the training on a consistent basis and I have lost more poultry to "accidents" from boyfriend actions then I care to count. Not easy solution to get rid of said boyfriend, but I am tempted. Would getting an older, proven LGD teach him manners, or would he get killed by it? Has anyone else successfully turned a puppy that's killed around to be a great LGD? Thanks...
