Working dogs on a farm serve different purposes. For livestock that graze, many people use Great Pyrenees as guards for the herd. These large dogs are gentle giants until a predator comes into view. That is precisely what happened when this crew of livestock guardian dogs spotted a predator near the chicken coop.

The dogs had been watching the perimeter of the pasture area where the cows were grazing. Without a sound, one of the livestock guardian dogs noticed an aerial predator near the chicken coop. Four of the five dogs took off at a full run. They closed the gap between them and the predator in seconds.
The four dogs, working in harmony, formed a perimeter to scare off the predator. The fifth dog stayed behind to keep their eyes on the herd. Within seconds, the predator got the hint and flew off into the distance.
Having five large dogs is like having five polar bears. Bethany got her first three dogs from the same litter. Then she got the fourth white dog. The grey one is the baby. The dogs have several “chores” around the farm. They can be found leading morning runs with the cows, supervising Bethany as she makes her rounds, and lounging around in their breakroom. Santa got them a couch for Christmas, and they love it.
The dogs stay alert and aware of everything that happens in their corner of the world. They are bred to be independent thinkers and have instinctual protection ingrained in their genetics. Their standard mode is laid back, but they are instantly at the ready when they sense a predator or other danger.
