YOUR EXPERIANCES! YOUR OUTCOMES! YOUR PREDATORS & PESTS!

Sagetown, I love Great Pyrenees, I have a farm north of Kansas City, several of the neighbors have them guarding their livestock. Great for guarding the house too.

They are really gentle giants. The pic in post#26 is Gabriel. Our Guardian Angel. So people friendly, yet can quickly dispatch a predator. They have so much protective hair. I had to bathe them regularly, and keep them combed out.

I've been hearing of those urbanized coyotes. They prey on housecats, and small dogs, and on some occasions even children. Local governments have the residents hogtied in situations like that. I recently saw a video on YouTube of an urban coyote stalking an old woman in broad daylight in her neighborhood, and no one took any action. That's really scary.

Bet ur bottom dollar id be taking action myself.. and so would my neighbors across the street our kids are our #1 priority if anything endargers them, its done for.

Oh, we have plenty of predators that come through our yard, all the homes are on acreages with a lot of room for wildlife, in fact while building a new garden area today, there were 4 deer bedded about a 100 yards away. What keeps the predators at bay are a 5' no climb fence, a bird dog, and our pot belly pig. My bird dog is okay with the hens but is aggressive with the coyotes, raccoon's, and bobcats that wander through.

Ahhh see i gave up my dog in the beginning of jan... still breaks my heart to give her up.. but it was the best thing for her.
