A friend of my father is a passionate biker (motorcycle), in his younger years he used to do tours all over Europe. He once told me about a trip from southern Germany to Barcelona. He was on that tour with a couple of friends, and when they passed over the Pyrenees they made a stop on a mountain pass at a small parking bay just at the side of the road. There was a herd of sheep nearby, and one of the guys went a few feet away from the group to have a pee. He was then about 50m away from the sheep, as my fathers friend told me. This was the moment when two big livestock guardian dogs popped out of the herd and rushed towards the guy standing there with his Wiener in his hands. The guy turned around and ran towards the group of bikers while he was still "doing what he had to do". Gladly the dogs didn't approach or follow him any further, they just wanted him off their turf :-D

There are a lot of bears in the area and I’ve heard that this dog has fought off a number of bears, as well as coyotes, hawks, and other predators that try to prey on the young sheep and goats. If the dog views you as a threat to his pack, he has all the right to protect himself and the rest of the animals.

Great Pyrenees are just the coolest dogs. Their instincts are fantastic. They naturally learn to protect whatever animal is on your property without much risk of the liability of an attack on a human or, in my experience, even another dog. I raise chickens and at first couldn't keep them alive. The biggest problem was neighbors' dogs running loose and attacking them. I strongly considered starting to shoot them. Then I found out about livestock guardian dogs and got a couple of Great Pyrenees. These dogs have never shown aggression towards my chickens and even let the chickens walk on them while they're sleeping. They will not attack a human like the mailman if he comes on my property. If loose dogs come around, the dogs will bark which 99% of the time frightens them off. In one situation, my dogs caught another small little dog on my property. Instead of killing it, they ran circles around it barking. When the dog tried to run, they bit its ankles until it cowered down again. When I got out and called off the dogs, the little dog was able to get away and go home. Obviously, I never saw it around my property and chickens again. They will even watch a hawk flying over the property and follow it barking so that it won't land. I didn't have to train them to do this.

*Absolutely do NOT try this at home!!* I was in a mountain side town once, and had a very strong and disturbing psychedelic experience, so much so that the next morning I went into the woods to find and fight a brown bear (don't ask). Walking along the road to the next town, but about 50 yards into the forest, I came across a farm and 2 huge guardian dogs (Raven Shepherds) came at me barking very aggresively, and stopped 7 feet in front of me. As much as I was "prepared" for a fight to the death with a bear (I was pretty much insane), I knew they were just doing their jobs, so I couldn't even think to hurt them (not that I could anyway, but I didn't know that at the time). So after a minute of shizzing myself (I had a big fear of guardian dogs from stories I heard) I just said to myself and God "whatever happens happens" and I dropped to my knees in front of them. They fell silent and came closer to sniff me, and when I sensed that they bared no ill will, I reached out and touched them. The younger one got the instant zoomies, with the tail between his legs, while the older one was very stoic like "you're good". And then the best part happened - I got up, and proceeded on my way to the next town. They both accompanied me in my travel, the younger one till the next town, and the older one came with me for 3 more towns, for about 10 miles, right till I crossed the street to get to the train station! Judging by their behavior, I'm pretty sure they thought to guard me from bears and what not. That had a profound impact on me, it felt like a hug from the universe - I went into that forest thinking only of death, and came out on the other side with a huge appreciation for life, and 20 pounds of trash I collected along the way stemming from it.

@@swedneck well there are different theories on the history of domestication, but long story short not necessarily, or to be precise: not everywhere. While there have been hunting nomads that started domesticating dogs (estimated somewhere between 15.000 and 100.000 b.c.), it is likely that wild versions of sheep, goat and cow have been held as some form of caged livestock as soon as nomads started settling down for some parts of the year. Chasing the herds into big caged areas was probably used as a reaction to the lowering numbers of wild animal population (caused by hunting them too much within a certain area). Other animals (like pigs, chicken, guinea pigs, ducks and doves) probably chose to be living near humans even before the were actually domesticated, as they were profiting off of each other, and somewhat domesticated themselves in order to have an easier life. Dogs partially came in earlier in some regions, but in others, they were brought in later.

Honestly, livestock dogs will always look more dangerous to me than any "traditionally scary" breed could ever do. Once me and my father were out in the woods with our dogs (I live in a small town in the Alps) and all of a sudden we found ourselves surrounded by a pack of livestock dogs, two border collies and four maremmani (they look like golden retrievers but bigger and way less friendly).Where we live it's not unusual to see herds of sheep chilling in the fields around our town, so we know how to behave around guardian dogs, but that time there were no other animals in sight and we were basically right next to a river shore, far away from the areas where they're usually found. The dogs were clearly not well kept and really aggressive (luckily we had put ours on a leash as soon as we saw the first one coming out) and they started to launch themselves at us with clear intention to bite. At that point we couldn't really run away so we grabbed a couple sticks and backed away slowly while making ourselves look as big and menacing as possible, shouting every time one got too close, trying to get the fuck out of there as soon as possible. One of the scariest moments of my life. We later learned, by talking with people that lived in the area, that the pack had tried to attack other people and had been wandering around without an owner or livestock for some time. We, as well as many others, informed local law enforcement of the situation but I have no idea of what happened to them after that. Very weird situation. Over here we know that sometimes especially older hunters/shepherds still have the disgusting habit of abandoning their "working dog" as soon as it gets too old to do the job but this was a very large pack of young healthy dogs and I swear they were out for the kill, they would have seriously hurt us had we not been quick enough to reach the road. Still have no idea what was up with them.
@katkitty1042 жыл бұрын
Sounds like a movie where there's a prologue about a young family tragically killed after they find their barn in the property they just bought is full of dogs. They end up dying from a bear attack and a few dogs die as well. The dogs without a master return to a feral state and roam to survive. They're told the dogs need to be put down but this old Clint Eastwood says he's never had to put down a dog and that's humans giving up on them because they're lazy . Cause hes this old country guy who is a dog whisperer. But he's older and has no flock anymore in his retirement. Just like a blind dog that's also old. And they take the dogs out to his farm after live capturing them. He buys a flock of sheep and gets to work. Especially with the dog that was previously injured and scarred by the bear who is most skeptical, stubborn and aggressive. And he works with them a lot, getting bit a few times and such. And the old dog works with him to whip them them into shape and they're now a pack of good doggos. The old man loses his dog to a wolf while protecting a sheep with a newborn lamb. The old man later dies as well leaving the pack and flock alone, supposing they revert back to normal once they again have no master. But years later a local guide is going through the same general area of the farm and they hear barking in the distance. The tourists then are concerned about a possible confrontation with the dogs. The guide informs and what they're hearing is the "Ghost pack" where an old man once had this crazy idea of taking feral LGD and giving them purpose again. This is that pack. They grow even more concerned but the guide interrupts and tells them they're in no danger because even after the old man died they continue to protect a flock of sheep and generations later they still do, sustaining a sustained population of dogs and sheep and never again having attacked a person again, just loyally guarding the flock. They roam the mountains with this flock now, even masterless. The dogs are rarely ever seen and recent sightings have stopped years back, only barks sounding from the forests and mountains. Some say they have since passed away from natural causes, the ghosts of the dogs barking as if to continue their work in the afterlife, never forgetting the second chance given to them. Cut scene to the flock and sheep living happily. Then to where the old man buried his dog, the collar hanging on a cross to mark the grave. Then to the post on the old man's porch where he cut a notch for every dog he ever fully trained , about 15 of them newer than the others but still somewhat faded with time. The end

My first thought is that these dogs were somehow abandoned, even if that's bc the owner died, and formed a pack. Packs of stray dogs can be really dangerous. In areas where stray dogs are common, the behaviors of the dogs will be monitored to make sure they don't form too strong a pack and if they do, people will break up the pack so as to prevent harm to humans. When my sister was in medical school in Dominica, she received an urgent message from her school like one would receive a weather alert notifying her that a pack of dogs was forming and how to keep safe. Stray dogs themselves were everywhere and of no concern. It was the packs.

Drinker_Of_ Milk it’s not staged, those are real guardian dogs working with their real owner who speaks in another language in the video. The narrator literally explains why the dogs are vocal yet not aggressive. Instead, they’re very vocal to alert both the herd and humans while discouraging predators. Guardian dogs aren’t vicious snarling guard dogs or pit bulls, they’re just very loud barkers. Snarling and baring teeth doesn’t make for loud alarm barking
@MelbourneMatty4 жыл бұрын
Just for the record, and just because I don’t think anyone else mentioned it; a wagging tail on a dog, does not necessarily mean “let’s play”, it’s just a physical display of excitement. What the actual form the excitement may take, is usually displayed in other physical displays of the dog - eg. head down/head up, ears back/ears up, hackles presented/or not, foot-work, and other submissive or dominant displays within the situation.

When a dog wags their tail from one side to another (like the guard dogs in the video were doing), it doesn't just mean they're happy. It could mean they're ready to take action or another indicator that they're aggressive/ready to behave aggressively. Some dogs may wag their tail before or during a fight with another dog/animal/human. Along with warning/aggressive barking these dogs definitely portrayed aggressive behaviour. But if a dog is wiggling/moving their butt from side to side along wagging their tail in a circular/helicopter wag, this most likely means they're happy and/or friendly. As well, the interactions in the video are most likely real, even if they knew about the guard dogs & how to act around them they would still have been in danger had they not followed the direction given on how to act around the dogs.

Ahhh, the Great Pyrenees... such a loveable and majestic dog! I once lived with a host family in northern Italy that owned one named Buzz. They lived on a hilltop outside a small village and had a few donkeys and some chickens, in addition to owning some farmland in the valleys below. Every day, Buzz would sit on the hillside, barking down at hunters or other animals and the like. They hadn't trained him to do so, it was just instinctual. Every day he would sit there, vigilantly watching and protecting the homestead. He was a very friendly dog, but had some funny quirks. Any time I would be outside playing with their 8 year old son, Buzz would make sure that the playing wouldn't get too rough. If I chased him, Buzz would come after me barking, and might even timidly nip at my pants leg, although he would never harm a hair on you. A few times we'd take him hiking. He never needed a leash, as he always maintained a perimeter around us, always as if to ward off any would-be threats. We even took him to a town across the French border near Monaco on one trip, and despite the big crowds, he stayed calmly right by our sides, even without a leash. Those were some of the best days of my life, living in Italy with this small family to teach them English. They are still close personal friends to this day. And I have no doubt that Buzz is still keeping watch over them!

And dogs themselves are one of the earliest human genetic engineering successes nature isn’t natural and technology is natural. People tend to forget that humans are also nature if we were a normal animal people would care that we eradicate species as this happens in nature too but because we can think it’s all a big problem now. Nature is change and while I agree that we need to protect our environment and ecosystems there are boundaries if an animal endangers us it will be removed where is the difference between eradicating illnesses or pests and if an animal endangers us it has become a pest. Of course the specific situation here is much different as Wolfes mostly fear humans. Though this wasn’t always the case and especially in the 17th century there were many reports of wolf attacks I would argue that our hunt of wolves and their eradication from much of Europe was the cause making them afraid of humans but now the wolves become bolder. So the question is what to do.

They're so big and guarding, but also super sweet, friendly, reliable and independent. Unlike many people think, they are like any other dog and can live in a relatively small house, as long as you know how to take proper care of them. The reason I say this is because I often see these type of dogs end up in a shelter and are only given away to people with huge plots of land, thinking that'll be best for them, but anything is good for them when they have a good owner who understands them.

@lalybum I think they made the point that while they will move into position between the `threat' and the flock, they are discriminating and behave differently with animal threats like wolves, bears, and lions, and humans. And that the principle defense is actually very loud barking, which deters most predators. I have a 10 year old Akbash who is bonkers on the issue of coyotes, but not about people. With people, she is watchful, and not friendly, but not aggressive. We hike (off leash) all the time, and she has never threatened or even barked at anyone on the trails. And she actually has always been very cordial to strange dogs, because LGD are very discriminating and able to exercise independent judgement. So far, she has never observed a threat from a strange dog, and her judgement so far has been 100%. This is not too say they would be great pets for most people: they are huge barkers, cause that is their main warning strategy for warning potential predators. And this behavior is hardwired, it isn't a training issue. I live in an isolated area and barking isn't a nuisance here. But for those suburban settings, it would be a nuisance. On full moon nights, when coyotes are very active, I have had to use lots of white noise and music inside so she doesn't get disturbed by the coyotes:) But of course, even tho breeds have traits in common, every dog is an individual.

Friends of mine in Oregon have Great Pyrenees guarding their sheep, I use to feed them when I lived there for a few months. I use to get worried when I heard them bark and would go check all the time until I learned to trust that the dogs knew there jobs very well. 😊Once in blackberry season I was out picking, and had gone around the back of the herd, the dogs heard me making noise in the bushes and charged, barking furiously! Until i called out and said “Sorry! It’s just me” they both stopped in their tracks wagged their tails and lay down. I made sure to give them love and pats back n my way back. I was l, surprisingly, able to make friends with them quickly. The owners of the farm were surprised that the dogs took to me so quickly so they had me feed them (all chores are shared there, I was only to happy to help). I take pride in being able to get animals to trust me. The horses on this farm would also follow me around like puppies! I loved it. Nobody else outside the family could get the dogs to trust them around the sheep. 😁

These dogs live with the livestock in complete freedom, the sheppard meet them on a regular basis, but it's not rare that they're left on their own during days. I've met them on hiking trails in the massif des écrins in the French Alps, and of course in the French Pyrénées. There are signs like this everywhere, hikers tend to respect the rules, the dogs are really deterrent.

In Washington State, there is an interest in returning the grizzley bear and other predators to their historic environments. Many livestock owners oppose the return of predators but livestock guardian dogs might be the solution. Returning wolves to Yellowstone helped the balance ecosystem immensely and the same could be done in Washington.
