More like three or four. We use Pyreneese, Anatolians, Akbash, Komondors and Sarplaninacs. We had two cool Kangal puppies a year ago that we were going to try until someone stole them. Probably should be in doggie stoke, but these guys just arrived to begin their new careers.

Yes we need dogs badly but only puppies seem to be available -> they would get killed quick.
Our temp solution is penning at night but they still sometimes come thru during the day

As a breeder no I don't get reimbursed. If I only bought livestock to grow and then sell I could write it off... But as is I already deduct the cost of the animals (feed etc).
I could go to a inventory type of reporting but I think that would make me pay more in the end even with the losses. I'll worry about that next year when I'm doing taxes.

Finding mature guardian dogs that work is hard and expensive. We generally start with puppies, but it's always a guessing game on which ones will work, matching the right dogs together since they don't always get along and so on. We have currently have enough dogs that we can usually pair the pups with adults so its just not puppies with the sheep, and and they learn. We have an older Pyrenees that is great with the pups, but unfortunately I don't think he will be with us much longer. These guys are in a small pen with some dry ewe lambs to bond.

Maybe try guard Llamas? You don't have to train them apparently. http://modernfarmer.com/2014/02/got-...get-dog-llama/

I don't know if they will work on mountain lions, but for wolves the best thing is a donkey. Donkeys will bond with your sheep, and if a wolf comes around the donkey will stomp the shit out of the wolf. No joke.

Llamas protect against wolves and 'yotes, but Teh Googelz has many examples of cougar-on-llama assaults
This one happened 100 miles north of steepconcrete-cougar kills sheep, goats and two llamas.

So you are saying our pain in the ass Pyrenees who is never-not guarding is worth thousands? Huh. Tempting, but probably not worth to get a divorce for selling the wife's dog, damn it.
Maybe you should set up an airbnb for working dogs to visit ranches, that might fly with my wife. Ha.

Saw some Caribou chilling 2/3 of the way up a couloir in the Chic Chocs a few years back. ml242 and I were planning to reach a saddle below the summit via the couloir so we hung out a couple hundred meters away off to the side, had a snack and waited for them to move. After 15 minutes or so they straightlined the couloir at a full gallop. They all went down at the same time, so they must have known that the avy danger was low.

WTF is wrong with people? Now a man missing and presumed dead because he fell in to a hot spring at the Norris Geyser Basin?
