HOW did you train Lucy to wrangle the chickens? Was it something 'natural' that she developed on her own, or did you actually train her? We are considering a Great Pyrenees or mix when we move. There is a GP rescue here in Portland. We would like something that has a mind to keep an eye on the property/livestock (chickens) but not what people would consider a 'guard dog'. More of a watch dog, but something that can go to the beach with us and is not outside all the time. (and doesn't want to eat visitors!)

That is exactly what type of dog we are looking for!!! Everything you described, lol. Except we DONT want it to chew up everything, we've had sooooo many animals in the past that have ruined our property by chewing up EVERYTHING!

I didn't even know we had a dog thread. My wife and I own a Pomeranian/Lhasa Apso mix breed named Nicky. It’s always a bundle of joy, waking up next to this cuddly creature. My wife is more enthusiastic of him than I am, buying him various pet toys, two cooling dog beds, a pet stroller, etc. It’s like having a baby once again, but this time, more playful, hairier, and definitely has four legs. Such a blessing! He's a great companion and a loyal friend, overall.
