I'm looking for info from people who own Great Pyrenees or have extensive experience with them. I have a 3 year old male Pyr and I'd like to get his hips xrayed. I'm really concerned about how to get it done without anesthesia or without killing him if they have to use anesthesia. One of my...

"D" has been in the baby/maternity barn. I never get any pictures of my dear boy because it is simply impossible. "D" is my love, so hard with Callie gone... it was always Callie and "D". He now shares his time with Eliza and is up front- back/middle field. D is a great baby daddy has been...

I'm moving this over from another thread. @Southern by choice and other dog folks... I'm wondering what some considerations are for determining needs for guardian dogs. I'm not talking about breed choices, I'm talking about looking at your farm and determining if you need a farm dog or LGD...

Out taking videos of goats yesterday when I look over and saw this-:love:love:love Blue - Saying hi and wanting a kiss! Maybe a "little" demanding about the kiss- but he got it! ;) This will go in the "favorites" file.

Pete doesn't get much mention and I am not sure why... :hide He like the others, has turned out to be a wonderful dog! Pete was known as P.T. for those of you that followed the Callie/D pup thread! PT was short for "pocket Toli". He was the smallest little guy at birth and fit in our pocket so...

Blue has grown into such a fine dog. The most interesting thing with this litter is that they have just always done their job. Blue is a handful in some ways as he is just too stinking smart. Not in any negative way but he is just a powerful dog that is very serious. He is his momma's favorite...

Last month was busy and I have not had time to update- or maybe I did... sadly I cannot remember. :lol: "Not Leo" is now Aslan. :D The family has been wanting him since he was 8-9 months old. They have visited him and loved him for so long. Long story short the wife and children gifted Aslan (...

Hi All! I live and work on a goat & sheep dairy - along with milking, I work primarily with kids, lambs, and LGD pups. Our herd is mixed breed - we've got pretty much one of everything as far as goats go - and the small flock of sheep (~70) is East Friesian. We also have a sanctuary for infirm...

Hello! I have an almost 2 year old Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mix that I am hoping you can give me advice on. :) First I must say, I've made a mistake by not getting him in with the stock asap. :( But I have faith in him, that he can be trustworthy with the goats in the future, my...
