    Livestock Guardian dogs are gaining in popularity, none more popular than the Great Pyrenees. However, on the other side of the Pyrenees mountains another breed is gaining in popularity, the Pyrenean Mastiff. Brenda Negri a breeder and rancher familiar with both breeds compares and contrast both dogs for us.

    We just rescued a 3-month old Great Pyrenees puppy! She really impresses me with her serene attitude, especially for a puppy of her age. We do small dog rescue in semi-rural San Diego County on a fenced acre and a quarter and have coyotes in our area - recently a coyote jumped a neighbors fence and nabbed a small dog right in front of this horrified lady.
    We have always had a large dog to keep coyotes at bay. Even our 55-pound goldendoodle has been effective in keeping coyotes from climbing or jumping the fence. However, she is getting old and is not as formidable as she was once. We had the opportunity to rescue the Great Pyrenees puppy and she fits in wonderfully with our small dogs and even our chickens. Our Doodle will teach her the basics of guarding our fence line. She will be an indoor dog but be outdoors whenever the small dogs are out; especially on the mornings and evenings when the heat is not intense. Although one of her functions will certainly be protecting our little dogs - she will mainly be out pet!

    She is dead on. I am a Veteran and have a Caucasian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix. She is such a great emotional support dog for me. I have her instead of pills and therapy sessions with a VA therapist who doesn't care about what you are going through cause it is easier to get you in and out and prescribe you pills. She does have the double dew claws. She watches over her older brother who is an American Eskimo. I am thinking of moving West or down to S.C. I want some land so I can rescue and breed more of these gorgeous Angels and help get them to other vets who need them for emotional support or to help injured vets. A great furry friend can save a lot of suicidal vets.

    I have a gp/maremma/Newfie mix that I adopted from a shelter. He was kept with his mom and siblings until 6 months old before taken away by animal control because the owner was abusive. Needless to say he is timid of people, and scared of quick movements. I couldn’t ask for a better dog, though. He’s made great strides meeting new people, is wonderful with other dogs and all other animals from baby chicks to cows. He’s not a lgd because he prefers to be inside on the couch and go to the dog park, but he’s still appropriately protective of our property (except towards other dogs, he loves all other dogs) and wonderful with the animals. He’s just great.

This dog has a protection instinct, size and massive bark, that deters everyone and everything. I have a dozen dogs and have owned dogs for 30 years of all breeds. None have the instinct of a Pyrenean Mastiff. Ours sleeps in my room. On a farm where nobody could hear you being attacked, this dog is more valuable than having a gun IMHO He's 163# of loving sweet family dog, but if a person tried to hurt us, he'd die trying to save us. Have been so blessed to have such a wonderful dog.

We found rural family homes for the lot. I also have a border collie who is my heart and the polar opposite of the grt pyrs but also loving.

    - Candy and Roy
    This book is full of practical advice for learning about LGDs, and how to give them the opportunity to live to their fullest potential. The best part may be the great stories Brenda uses to illustrate how to put her advice into practice. Relying on years of living with these dogs, her knowledge and experience is deep and her love and admiration for the breeds is evident.
    - Ms. Judd
    This is an excellent book. It is written in a short snappy way that reads like an instruction manual on the proper handling of livestock guardian dogs (LGDs). Brenda Negri explains the reasons for everything in an easy to understand way. She brings 40 years of experience with livestock, predators, and study of LGDs both here and abroad and shares it with the reader.
    - Sigmund Robbins
    Written with heart, soul, and passion. This is a great book if you are looking at LGD's or already have them. Give it a try and you won't regret it!
    - Nathan Negri
    Brilliant talk, thanks a million Brenda.
    - Jacqueline Judge
    I have read many of the articles she wrote in magazines. I was fortunate enough to belong to a forum that she posted on and her words of wisdom were treasured. To have her life's work in a book, is a book to read from cover to cover and read again and again. She teaches how toread a dog's body language and how to present yourself to the dog. She promotes a hands on approach to these dogs and being involved in their daily lives. This book is on my nightstand, I read it at night. I just completed it and will start over in order to absorb all I can. I heartily recommend this book to anyone with Livestock Guard Dogs.
    - Amazon Customer
    It doesn't matter if your pack consists of 1 LGD or 10 this book is an invaluable resource. Bravo for dispelling the "Hands Off" myth that has been perpetuated in the USA since the 1970s. So glad to find an author of LGDs that 'gets it'. Get the book, you won't be disappointed at all!
    - Missouri Homesteader
    This book is the kind of depth, thoughtfulness and brilliance that does not come along very often. Especially with LGD books, I have not seen anything like Negri’s book before. More LGD owners need to read this book and see what they can realize, too. I’ve bought three other copies for other friends, to help them.
    - CL Johns
    You are a great women, I truly wish people would have to take a class by you. Thanks for your incredible works!!!

    - Deep Tracks
    I bought one copy. It turned into many more. Fantastic, great, wonderful.
    - H. K.
    This book has taken a new breath, contemplated and yes - even a much safer way to use and own LGDs. That includes using and being “okay” with all the predators, and no, that does not mean shooting them all for kill-joy, either! Read this book, see how much there is to learn on LGDs, and it will show such a new, kinder way.
    - John C. Ziller
    Stunning, deeply thoughtful and brilliant; this book can’t be read enough.
    - Kathy Kentucky
    Her book grabbed me. The You Tubes she put out have become classic, even millions of hits. My LGDs became even better dogs after reading this book (and the films) and I wish more people would see what is capable for them, too. Hands up, first class, five stars.
    - Y. W. A.
    This is not a book you can flip through, grab a couple key points then put on your bookshelf and forget. This is a book you keep next to your bed and read through over and over again. Whether you run livestock or have a livestock guardian dog as a family companion, this book has valuable information. In fact, if you plan to interact with dogs in any form, this book is a good read.
    - Let’s Talk Dogs…Logically! Blog
    The owner may have an error or two in her book, however, many people also know of what happened to her after the book came out on Amazon (her health, hospital and illness.) Regardless, what she has done in more than six years on her book has been read over and over. To me, that makes more sense. The wonderful pages of photos, resources, films, book ideas and more, make this book beyond the average dog LGD book.

      snugbug, it is in the genes, the heredity of these dogs, to guard and protect livestock. It is why it is so important to never cross them on non-LGD type breeds. No LGD can take on a pack of wolves, and survive, but they have such bravery and heart, they often try. Many LGDs have been killed in the line of duty.

      @@BrendaNegri I enjoy your videos and agree with what you've said. I've been in Kuvasz for 35 years, and I also did some wolf research many years ago. To deal with a wolf problem you need a fair-sized pack of LGDs, the number of dogs depending on the area covered, the terrain, and the amount of livestock to be protected. With a sufficient pack, LGDs can and do successfully take on wolf packs. Of course, as you know, the job is not to kill predators but to discourage them or drive them away to find a meal elsewhere.

    I adopted a supposed Great Pyrenees puppy a month ago from a woman who couldn't afford him any longer. Turns out he's a Pyrenean Mastiff. He has the same extra rump hair as a Pyrenean mastiff, the same markings (his are cream), and the same face with the droopy pinkish eyes. The only thing about my Haku is he isn't as fluffy as either dog. But he has the double dew claw and everything. I wonder if he'll get fluffier as he gets older? Anyways, I'm shocked to find out Pyrenean Mastiffs are a thing and that this 10 month old puppy I have is one. ❤️

      You do not see the full fluff yo the cost until after the age of 2 closer to 3 years of age. Of my 6 only 2 are over 2 years old and their coats are coming in beautiful this year. They were thin and one a little scraggly until 18 month before they even started to fill out.

      Hi Sophie Filo, it is not - it is a recognized purebred breed that originated on the Spanish side of the Pyrenean Mountains (in Spain). Often they are mistaken for St. Bernard dogs. There are huge differences obvious to the trained eye, however and the breeds serve different purposes. Thanks for watching!

      I rescued a 5 year old Kuvasz, whose young owner (35 yrs old) was dying from bone cancer. It took at least 5 months before he bonded to me. Once he did, I had the guardian of a lifetime. I never felt safer in my home in my life. At 11 he developed degenerative myolopathy. I bought him a doggie wheel chair and he took to it right away. The disease progressed rapidly and in 6 months I had euthanize him. That was 10 years ago and I have never gotten over it. He was a lighter build than the GP and was only 28 inches at the withers. Lots of curly white coat. RIP my dear Gabe.

    If one had a huge, huuuuge area with a lot of sheep( or what have you) I could see the benefit of having a group of GP and the PM. The GP to do wide perimeters and the PM to stay closer to the middle and back of the flock . Btw, I have a Saint Bernard/ GP mix and belong to a lot of St. Pyrenees groups. This mix could double as a PM without much effort lol so much so I could see shady breeders trying to pass off the mix as a pure PM.

      I have a pyrenees mix. Here is my experience with him. Believe me they bark. It is instinctive. They think that they are guardian of the universe. They have multiple threat levels and they have an intense protective nature. They will bite if forced into it. They are generally obedient as long as your instructions do not conflict with their instincts. But they love their families.

    In all my years of dealing with LGD's (50+) and raising, training, and showing Great Pyrenees, having the privilege of owning one of the larger males in the USA, I have never encountered any Great Pyrenees approaching 200 pounds, not even close. I did encounter many people who told me their 125 pound male weighed 180 pounds, just like Tibetan Mastiff and Rottie owners, but when placed next to my 194 pound UKC Grand Champion Central Asian Ovtcharka male and 155-160 pound female the bone mass and size differential between the Pyrs and COA was easily noticeable. Great Pyrenees look huge due to their profuse coat, but when bathing mine, I used to comment, where did the dog disappear to. That is not the case with the CAO, they are what they appear to be. Pyrs are as a general rule more tolerant of strange humans on property than the CAO, CO, and Kangal, equally protective, but less deadly (due to the difference in size and much smaller canines compared to the Kangal and CAO). The COA, CO, Kangal may charge directly into a physical confrontation with predators, the Great Pyrenees tend to be a bit more pragmatic, attempting to drive off the predators (particularly solitary predators) with barking and posturing before attacking in many instances that I have observed. My UKC Grand Champion CAO was also a certified Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog. He killed 5 coyote-wolf hybrids, took down several buck deer in a matter of seconds, and unfortunately also killed a bobcat. My large female was high order Alpha with a very advanced Active Defense Drive, not appropriate as a therapy dog. The thing that I appreciate about the COA versus the Great Pyrenees is their coats are much easier to manage and groom and they tend to roam much, much less that Pyrs do. Build a fence and a working-line Great Pyrenees will find the weak point, hit and exploit it until they have undermined the fencing within a few days and off they go expanding THEIR, not your established territory to as far as their eyes can see and their paws take them. COA are more home bodies and they have not (perhaps I have just been lucky) ever attempted to leave my property.

    An important subject was not addressed. LGDs are not trustworthy with livestock for at least two years, so be prepared to protect livestock during that maturing period. They must however come into contact with livestock to learn to bond with it. It’s a delicate balancing act. I’ve lost both chickens and lambs to my underage LGDs but that was totally my fault. Now that they are older they are dependable and gentle dogs.

I am finishing up a book, "The Way of The Pack" which I hope to have available by this fall, that will go into much more detail on how to understand, live with and train these dogs. At least you are honest - and you see your error in that you didn't supervise your pups when they were young. Yes they do have a stage of where I call it the 'betwixt and betweens' - "Mom, give me the keys to the car!" - you know, like a High School kid. And they still need mom and dad to guide and show them the right way. I am glad your dogs matured into dependable guardians! Thanks for watching this.

Pyrenean Mountain Dog (Great Pyrenees) originated in the Basque Country region and has been guarding flocks for thousand of years until Louis XIV of France found it and make it court dog. Frenchs developed the dog, but its origins are as spanish as frenchwithout a single doubt, becouse the basque region covers both France and Spain.
      Both Pyrenean Mastiff and Pyrenean Mountain Dog have the same ancestor in the Spanish Mastiff (of wich im a breeder), descedant of guarding dogs that phoenicians brought here to iberian peninsula 3000 years ago.
