My little cat jumped on the back of a German Shepherd that was attacking my mother's small dog! He bit the dog's ear, locked into him with his claws, and rode him like a pony howling all the way to the property line! At the property line the cat proudly jumped off, tail straight up in the air, & walked back knowing he protected his family! That's a true story from the early seventies! And that's a hell of a dog there too!!

[@FarrahGerwing]

Our 22 lb male orange cat rode a Doberman all the way to his house ....the guy tried to get my dad to pay vet bills....lol He first locked on to the Dobermans nose with both front paws behind his ears and gave him about 12 fast rabbit kicks with the back legs to the throat.....then rode him Supposedly the nose needed surgery and they had to shave him to treat the chest wounds. My dad had to have me bury 4 tomcats in his life that never made it out of our yard....the raccoons even gave him wide berth

[@yodelingyotes]

Great Pyrenees have always been externally brave dogs. One dog had a family who only had two minutes to escape a wildfire and their Great Pyrenees, Odin refused to leave their 8 goats behind. Odin just couldn’t and wouldn’t budge. They had no other choice but to leave. When they returned, their house was destroyed but guess who was there alive? Odin and his herd of goats. Odin has his pads burnt, burn marks a burnt off fur, and it looks like the flames got his one front paw really good but he was pampered like crazy. The goats al survived completely fine all because of Odom’s bravery. This isn’t the only story. A Great Pyrenees will go above and beyond when it comes to testing and questioning their bravery, courage, and dedication to the ones they love.

[@qwer58j]

Often you can scare off bears very easily. But don't be too brave if you're out in the woods because it's largely a matter of luck. What might scare one bear off is just going to piss off the next and then you are really going to be in trouble.

The duty these dogs have is astounding. Any danger, is full protect mode. Fascinating.

We run Pyrenees in pairs usually, however tbh they work better solo. Raised alone with livestock they assume they're part of the herd. More than 1 and they tend to do dog shit and ignore the livestock. There are exceptions. A female who is raising her own litter in the herd, etc. Rule of thumb though is 1 dog = a good dog. 2 dogs = problems.

The shots seem premeditated, with the cameraman standing still, and getting one close up shot with of the dog not barking, and another with the bear looking around. Yes I know he edited it to look this way, but the monatge of clips, seem randomly thrown together. Almost like they were shot at different days. Again this could just be his editing choice, but what about the dogs bark? It was superimposed and was repeated for almost the entirety of the video

Similar dogs are traditionally bred in the Carpathian mountain regions of Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary. Is this Pyreneean? Slovaks have Slovakian Chuvach, Polish is Podhalanski Ovczarek and Hungarian is Kuvasz. Being grown in Slovakia I know them well. We always tried to keep a distance from them, they are powerful and usually very territorial. Chuvachs when kept clean, brushed, and so on, are very beautiful snow-white dogs, and their puppies are extremely cute. However, I do not recommend keeping this kind of dog if you are not experienced in dog training. They also need some space and freedom. Ideally for farmers who need protection from predators, of course.

[@hotelsierra7441]

I breed Slovak Cuvac - if they are well socialized there is no problem with them. I go with them among people and dogs, even to the zoo (they are fascinated by large predators). They love their family and are good watchdogs. They are not suitable for an apartment (large dog, long fur), but they are great for a house with a garden. Obedience training is difficult, but manageable - they have their own minds and solve things in their own way - they were bred that way... p.s. Ad) kept clean, brushed: Their coat is self-cleaning, when they get dirty from mud, they are beautiful white again in the morning
