whats the best goat guardian?

[canaan]

have some nigerian dwarfs and am still not comfortable leaving them out on their own at night - to go in and out of their house freely. i keep locking them up in a stall around dusk.

wondering if there is any difference / preference as to what other animal i could keep with them for protection.

i know people use dogs/pyrenees...donkeys...llamas...

the main predators that would be in the area are fox and coyote. i live at the base of a mountain range and i have never experienced bears on my property, but other nearby homes have.

does a fox or coyote really feel intimidated by a llama or a donkey?

please let me know.

she intimidates me and I feed her....Our dogs stay far away too...some of the goats share a stall with her without issues...she just doesn't tolerate strangers in her pasture.

Here's another option:

Great Pyrenees
