So cute!! I have a question for you, as I am a newbie having goats . I have a friend who is moving to Washington and offered me her Great Pyr. as an lgd for our goats. The pup is 5mo old . Is this to old to introduce her to our heard ? If not any advice for training and introduction?

Any time you introduce a new dog to your herd, you will have to go through a period of training. You will have to watch the dog around the herd and teach it what is appropriate and what is not. If you're up for some training, I would go ahead and get the pup and get it started with your goats. Read all you can about raising and training an LGD so you will know what is involved. Also, join the Yahoo LGD groups so you can learn from others. And enjoy!

Those are adorable! I got two pups yesterday too! Here are some pics of them. How old are your pups? I am a little concerned that my pups are not as old as the breeder told me they were. TIA

What wonderful pictures and puppies. Looks like the rooster is doing a great job training them too! It looks like you'll have two nice guardians in the future.

We picked up two Great Pyrenees puppies over the weekend. We will use them to guard our chickens.
Next Spring we're getting some sheep to add to the mix.
Right now they are getting settled in to their new location and enjoying life on the farm.

Their names are Beauhunk and Cleatus.

My alpha rooster, Dreadlock, had to immediately come check 'em out to make sure he would allow them to hang out with his hens.

I guess they were accepted.

Dreadlock still keeps a watchful eye on them, though.

The boys enjoy hanging out with the chickens.

Right now they're puppies and enjoy being cute.

And playing like puppies...

Whenever they play rough, Dreadlock always has to come check on things.

Dreadlock likes to scold the puppies.

Sometimes the puppies bark back.

Then they call a truce.

Dreadlock gives the puppies long lectures on how to behave.

All-in-all, life is kinda nice.

Wow, thanks for sharing. You did great with the pictures and the little story too. They are too cute. Hope they do a good job for you when they are older. Sure looks like they will at least get along with animals. Were they with chickens before you bought them?
