i need another dog to protect my acreage from coyotes and bobcats
any ideas?
as much as people think about rottweilers and german shephards pitbulls etc they are the biggest wussies you could own
now i have a great pyrenees and a border collie i need a younger dog as they are getting old

ya but i would rather get a little less expensive one, those dogs usually cost alot

Meh, i picked up a king breed pure bred for 500$

Get 2

a saint bernard to scare the shit out of the bad guys/animals
and a toy foxxy to nom on them

Team work.

i have two dogs right now the great pyrenees and a border collie they take care of them, but they are both 9-10 years old

just need another one with more piss and vinegar if you know what i mean

you guys must not have experience with guard dogs?

it doesn't matter what type of dog it is, all the matters is how its trained

i live in the country and my black lab (crossed with husky and malamute) has defended against black bears, lynx (if thats what bob cats are), coyotes and wolves

i've personally seen it go after every one of those animals and the animal has run away because it acts so agressive, even though it would not stand a chance against them

true

i should mention that my acreage is surrounded by crown land and is not fenced off, and i have no neighbours

only a few times has he defended animals in our property

most other times i have encountered the animals while going on hikes with him, and its always the same result

thats what its like with my pyrenees he just scares away them, i have only ever seen him get in a couple fights he mostly just acts agressive
the border collie is mostly my baby, she is more of a watchdog and is trained amazingly good
