My place is across a dirt road from a place that runs sheep. They have GP dogs to protect the sheep but they have too many dogs. The dogs begin to wander around and leave the sheep when they get bored. I have had them get on my place and I believe they run off deer. While turkey hunting last spring with my son, we had two GP chase our calves. I went to the owner and told him what happened and he got rid of those two dogs. If the dogs have a job I believe they will stay where they belong but if there are too many they wander.

Any experience with Great Pyrenees on your deer lease?

I hunted a place in junction for 3 yrs that had several of them. They weren't a problem but I wouldn't let my dog have free reign if they are close. My lease was large and we didn't have much close interaction with them. Once they traveled through our camp on a hot summer day. I poured some water ina bowl for them and they wouldn't touch it. Very stand offish dogs those ones were. I never heard them bark.

I had a Great Pyrenees for 13 years. Had a character similar to mature Golden Retrievers I've been around.
Never chased a deer, was trusted by and friendly with llamas, and allowed small kids to do anything to him. He ignored cats like they didn't exist, but he always killed every rabbit and squirrel he could catch.

Not a GP, but our Anatolian Shepherd use to roam with our horses and wouldn't leave there side. Never chased a deer, but would whoop any other dogs @** if it was out there. Very protective, he would lick the truck and ground clean if you had a dead deer around. Just to keep predators away.Last edited by Laner7; 01-05-2017, 12:07 AM.
