No way I could get him in and he wasn't jumping in either. I cried the whole 4 hours he was here, it was so awful.<br /><br />I think I will just stick with my alpaca boys for now. And Bubba.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754379649711551718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-22915774640267157362015-01-22T09:37:42.947-08:002015-01-22T09:37:42.947-08:00Yes, I agree that Great Pyrs can be a handful.

K got hers as a pup and handled him and trained him diligently until he understood that SHE is the boss of him and that the chickens ARE part of his herd and are to be protected and not eaten. Nonetheless, she still must have Vet to Pet come to the farm to do checkups and vaccinations because that dog weighs more than she and there is no getting him into the truck. So lucky you to have the alpacas!!Betty Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397971373329806277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-28569827433687161722015-01-22T06:57:05.179-08:002015-01-22T06:57:05.179-08:00I have tried a GP.

He lasted about 4 hours here and had every animal either up a tree or scared to death.<br /><br />But these alpacas are great. They have that really loud noise they make that scares the bad things away. So far, so good. <br /><br />Last night, I kept them all over in the North lot. I am glad I did too. My dogs started barking about 11:30. I went outside and heard a loud yelp right over by the barn where the round hay bale is. They must be really hungry right now. But they are not getting my sheep.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754379649711551718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-42933873270828950242015-01-22T06:22:52.402-08:002015-01-22T06:22:52.402-08:00Coyotes are very scary. we have them here too.

I know they are quite expensive, but a Great Pyr will even take down a bear. I did not know alpacas were also Livestock Guards. Good for them!Betty Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397971373329806277noreply@blogger.com
