(22,149 posts)Another livestock guardian dog. If a coyote showed up, he'd be right on it. Leave herding to the collies.

(10,497 posts)Half Great Pyrenees and Half Anatolian shepherd. I have one just like the one in the video. Wonderful, smart, and stubborn! Mine barks at the perimeter of our big yard about every 15-20 minutes to tell the wolves/coyotes to keep away!
As you said, they do not herd but are high energy protectors.

(17,865 posts)The dog had the laid back air of a guardian dog. My family is into herders, but these are wonderful dogs as well. As you said great to have around in coyote country.
