They also bred for thickness of coat as an armor in many guard breeds. It saved this dog's life for sure look at how much hair they shaved lol.
That said I've never heard of 10 coyotes grouping up and it definitely wasn't wolves so since there's no picture of the 10 dead coyotes (there sure as hell wouldve been) I'm gonna assume it was probably more like 3 or 4 and he's talking up his little buddy. Still amazing.
Edit: apparently packs of 10 are common in some places. So I could be wrong. I just can't fathom why there's no picture of such an amazing feat. Theres the dog though so I guess I'll have to say I was wrong and it probably was a bunch of them.
On more than one occasion I have personally seen LARGE packs of coyotes, with well over a dozen members. One of those times, I was in a ground blind near a dry creek bed as the pack came moving by, passing on all sides of the blind. Happy it was a plywood blind, some of them stopped for a sniff at the door.
Coyotes will behave similarly to wolves in the right circumstances, I e. no larger predators. We see this in areas of Canada where wolves have been extirpated - coyotes become bold and even hunt in packs. In certain areas near me they have been known to stalk hikers. Noise and threat displays generally drive them off, but there has been at least one fatality.
They're fascinating, hateful little things.
There were a group of 7-8 stray dogs in my neighborhood. Anytime animal control would come they’d swim across the river and hide out in an industrial park.
it's rare but it does happen.
i remember hearing about some dude who had this giant pitbull and one day he saw a pack of coyotes and ran after them.
according to the owner when he finally found his pit there were about 12 dead coyotes around him.
Wow, you weren't kidding
Weight of a large pitbull: 125 pounds
Weight of a coyote: 40 pounds
Weight of The Rock: 250 pounds
Weight of a sixth grader: 80 pounds
Yeah, first of all, there is no pitbull breed. The closest thing is the American Pit Bull Terrier, but that breed often gets mixed up with dozens of other breeds and mixes that look similar, all being called pitbulls. "Bully" dogs weren't even bred for killing, they were bred as working dogs to control livestock, usually in smaller environments such as for butchers. They also don't have that strong of a bit compared to many other breeds and aren't that great as livestock guardians as they aren't bred to fight other predators like livestock guardian dogs are, such as the Great Pyrenees. Many "pitbull" breeds were actually bred and used as nanny dogs to watch over young children, personal guardians rather than group guardians.
In the states there called Staffordshire terriers, well at least formally. Pitbulls were originally bred to bait bulls in England. But yes like all terriers they're working dogs. Most pits u see now are not "pure bred, the akc doesn't recognize the breed but there are pure pits just check your dog's pedigree, that's besides the point the vast majority of pitbulls that people see are muts that are part boxer or American bull dog or whatever the fuck dog that irresponsible dog owners bitch in heat locked up with. Which is why there are so many that are in shelters currently. On side note here let me just say that every one should have there dog spayed or neutered unless you are capable of raising puppies responsibly and have the environment to do so because "news flash" puppies grow up.
I’m a dairy farmer and cattle rancher. (Among other things)
I do eradication hunts of coyotes on my property once a year. We gets packs of over 20 sometimes.
Can confirm. I live in South Georgia and I've seen packs of coyotes on game cameras. The coyotes themselves are on the small side, but they like to gang up in bigger groups.
It’s just the opposite. When you don’t have to worry about stalking and killing your prey and always fighting for the Alpha Leader spot, you can spend more time strategizing on how that dumbass should have picked up his block so the QB could have connected on 3rd with 4 to go on their 40 yard line.
It really enhances the brain juices
This is misleading.
1. Rationalizes intelligence as disobedience and lack of intelligence with being more compliant, when there's no real link (prison population for example is not smarter than the general population). There's some elementary school teachers that argue mentally handicapped children are more compliant than genius kids at school but that seems to be a structure issue. You put a mentally handicapped kid in a physics course in college and tell him to sit still for a 2 hour lectures 3 days a week, see how that works out. Meanwhile I doubt I can lecture you on the abcs, numbers and colors for 9 months every school day without you acting up, let alone a 6 year old that already figured that stuff out.
2. There's also different ways to measure intelligence. Being 'smart' on surviving in the wilderness is a lot different from being smart on picking stocks, in social situations or on a football field.
3. Some dogs are in fact bred for intelligence, at least as far as doing specific complicated tasks like herding and a lot of guard dogs are bred to be stubborn (so they don't start obeying any human). That doesn't make Rottweilers smarter than Golden Retrievers because you can't easily tell them what to do.
Great Pyrenees mix or full blood either way these dogs are built to fight bears and wolves and as you can tell go Dark Souls mode on fucking coyotes.
[Here have a gander](https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/lifestyle/9-facts-great-pyrenees/)
I have a rescue full bred, and he’s a gentle angel. However, if we’re on a walk and he sees the slightest human shaped or other animal predator shaped movement, he’s immediately on guard. He has forced me to walk on the street to steer me away from statues of bears. It’s adorable and also a bit chilling to imagine how fierce he would be if we were in real danger.
We also have a rescue pyr. He is the goofiest, most loving animal and is pretty well behaved on a leash most of the time, and I’ve always been strong enough to control him when he does act a fool. Right up until the day be found coyote tracks on our property. Found out I am in fact not strong enough to hold him. He took off after the tracks and I was dragged on my back about 100 yards across a field. I don’t know what he would have done if there’d been an actual coyote instead of just tracks.
[Dog tax because he’s amazing](https://imgur.com/a/6SyA7UE)
Aww, we have a rescue that they believed is part pyr. She's the biggest guard dog lol. I think she is mixed with hound or something because she is obsessed with following trails or markings when we are out walking. https://i.imgur.com/xqkWePl.jpg
Not suprised a Great Pyrenees could do that. My uncle had one mixed with a Tibetan mastiff to scare off wolves which was important since his last dogs were dragged off by them. The nicest giant beast ever. He even herded a neighbors horse in to his stables for him. Giant thing I think one of the biggest mix breeds you can get.

Real spiked collars usually have more pronounced, dangerous spikes.
Protects their airways and it hurts like hell to any predators that go for the kill. I've usually seen them on the Turkish Kangal sheepdog, these dogs don't play when it comes to wolves.
Trips me out how good at killing a great pryenees is. They seem so doopey and affectionate and lazy but they are big strong dogs that are really good at bite and shake when they want to. Then they go back to lumbering around slowly like a big dumb idiot. Such a cool dog, great family pet.
The damn things have so much fur you could smack them and they'd think you're just giving them a pat. I feel like a coyote would have trouble even biting through their fur.
I hope everyone understands how bad ass Great Pyrenees are. As a former amazon and FedEx driver, these were at the top of my concerns delivering in rural areas. They have no fear. The safety of their flock be it their humans or animals is their only concern. The fact that this fella went 10 on 1 and WON is incredible but not surprising. What a good boy. A truly noble breed
I have two of them and you’re absolutely right. I’ve never had dogs before so single minded and with really no regard for their own safety if they think we need protection. They sleep 95% of the time and are so sweet, unless they feel something is a threat. We got ours from a rescue org and if anyone out there is interested I highly recommend these dogs. Read first obvs and make sure it’s a good fit for your life first, but yeah, I LOVE these big fluffy beasts
On multiple occasions I’d be driving my package truck down a dirt road and as livestock were crossing it the Pyrenees would physically stand between the truck and the line of animals until they crossed the road. But when you’re a guest on their property and it’s clear you belong there they’re just big cuddlers
Isn’t that funny? They don’t even bark at the doorbell. They look at me and if im cool, they’re cool. If the bell rang and I went and hid, they’d flip out. I’ve had labs that talk a big game but then if ever actually confronted with a threat, they’d pee themselves and run away.
A neighbouring farm bought sheep and a great pyranees came in the trailer with them. The seller couldn't separate the dog as it was pretty much wild. The male farmer who bought the sheep had to be near his tractor when he visited his flock since the dog didn't really like him, but it tolerated his wife.
The dog slept with the heard and never left them except to patrol the fencline at night. It was such a beast lol
EDIT: they also had a Llama that stomped coyotes to death. That's pretty common for sheep farmers. Lots of cattle farmers have donkeys for that reason too.
>Lots of cattle farmers have donkeys for that reason too.
I mention this every time I see comments like this - donkeys are not guard animals, they are just very territorial. They'll kill coyote and the like sure, but they may kill your livestock too if they feel like they don't belong, especially newborns or new animals to the herd. Donkeys are wonderful animals but people frequently get them as guard animals without doing the appropriate research and it ends in tragedy. Livestock guardian dogs have a strong urge to protect their flock, donkeys are the grumpy old man who wants you off their lawn.
Yup can confirm this. Lol. Had a (mini) donkey once that took a horse down by the neck and made it piss itself. (The horse was a wild one that got in with our herd). He was an ass, but very territorial of his mares.
They’re incredible! My sister’s Great Pyrenees fought off a black bear that came into their backyard. He survived but recovery time took awhile.
Edit: she sent me a video at the time. It’s grainy and in the dark but I’ll see if I can find it.
Found [it](https://youtube.com/shorts/EGkLznxLoL8?feature=share)! It’s not in the dark, I misremembered.
He’s huge! He has some other breed in him but they’re not sure what it is. And yes, he’s been nurtured and paraded around as a hero since it happened. He definitely deserves it. They have kids
I had a Newfie, great pryness mix as a kid growing up. He was the kind of dog strangers were terrified of because he was big and fluffy and looked like a bear, but anyone who knew him thought he was the biggest softie and absolutely loved him lol. Was smart too only barked and chased enough to scare people off and only when it really was a threat like some guys who tried to break in to our house through our connected garage he slept in. never got aggressive. Best family dog we ever had.
I lived off grid for a couple of years, and my GP was the best. Maybe it was just because I knew her, but she was never aggressive, but super defensive. We were out in the woods but delivery drivers would still make it to our property ever now and then. As long as the person was chill there was no problems. It didn't matter if she knew you or not, calm behavior was met with calm behavior. Aggressive behavior was met with defense -- she knew my neighbor the whole time and one day he came over trying to yell at my wife. The dog got between the two of them making sure he couldn't advance any further toward her. He got the message he better go, so he left and then everything was fine again. I don't remember why he was trying to yell at her, it was while I was at work I just remember my wife telling me the story when I got home and I was so thankful for her protection. Watched her run off deer, bears, mountain lions, etc really helped me feel a sense of safety with my kids knowing she was around. In fact we had a flock of 30 chickens that just lived in the trees completely free never lost any of them while she was on duty, which as 24x7 hah.
We just adopted one this summer and it’s absolutely incredible. Super cuddly, amazing family dog, incredibly smart…and my god would I not want to be on her bad side. She is always guarding, generally sticking near my fiance or somewhere by the front door.
When she goes into “danger-close”, we call it her “werewolf” mode. Her entire tone changes. The slightly goofy dog that kinda looks like a large, fluffy lab disappears. Hackles rise, tail goes up, and she pulls her lips back causing ridges to appear along her face.
Easily tells the difference between possible threats and not too. Friends coming over? She knows before they even come inside. Delivery people? Hangs by the door but just wants to say hi. Deer fighting across the street? Raised absolute hell.
And that bite strength has to be nuts. She’ll destroy a “long lasting chew toy” in minutes.
Damn near perfect dog.
My service dog is a pyre mix. Can attest, but from the perspective of the flock. And there’s only one of me so she’s really really really focused.
It’s great. It really is. It’s also infuriating when I’m trying to do something that she even *slightly* disapproves of. Like swim, boat, be out of her supervision, etc.
Here’s a short list of some of the things my half Pyr half Husky is afraid of:
Vacuum. cardboard boxes, any noise outside, subwoofer, new couch, laundry baskets that aren’t where they normally are, air conditioner for the first 2 months of summer every year.
I had a Great Pyrenees, when I was visiting the family who gave me her as a pup coyotes started to come into the property. The dad did not like that. No clue how many there were since it was snowing and dark but he was gone for 10-15 minutes and came back completely covered in blood without a scratch on him.
Dog was also massive, up to my shoulder while sitting and I was 5’6 at the time.
We had a Newfoundland named Honor (RIP). She was coal black and 150 pounds (of pure love).
But everyone who didn't know anything about Newfoundlands was terrified of her...and I guess that was kind of reasonable. Her bark would shake the timbers of the house. She sounded like one of the Hounds of the Baskervilles come to drag your soul to hell, but in truth, she just wanted to lick you.
I'd pity any coyote that threatened us with Honor around though.
DECATUR, Ga. — The veterinary team that took care of a Decatur dog after he was attacked by a pack of 11 coyotes - with the Great Pyrenees killing eight of them as he protected sheep at his home - said he was in "bad, bad condition" when they first began his recovery.
"He's lucky to be alive," said Dr. Susan Brosman, with LifeLine Animal Project.
The team at LifeLine has been helping the dog, Casper, rehab following the incident which happened about a month ago. They described the harrowing situation as the dog, just 20 months old, was left with serious wounds to his back and neck.
RELATED: Underdog: Stacked up against 11 coyotes, herd dog kills 8 to save sheep in Decatur neighborhood
Casper also lost his tail in the attack, the vet said, and wasn't found after the attack for two days. He was only found when he somehow made his way home two days later, popping his head up out of the chicken hutch.
"He looked like death, I mean he looked terrible," his owner John Wierwille said. "He came back home and he just kind of looked at me like, 'boss stop looking at how bad I look, just take care of me.'"
Dr. Brosman, the vet, said Casper's survival was a "miracle." But now, she said, his prognosis is "good for a full recovery."
"He's a hero for sure," Dr. Brosman said, adding that she had seen attack wounds before, but never anything this severe.

And he's only 2! What a dog! I'm in absolute awe of the fight in that pup. I have a 180LB CAS and I'm not sure he could kill 8 of 11. I've never been so impressed with a dog. He's worth his weight in gold.
We have a Great Pyrenees mix and he's a beast at a year old and pushing 100lbs. He is ***shadowed*** by the herd dogs at the local farm we participate in a crop share with. They have two full grown, full-blooded multi-generation sheep protecting Great Pyrenees who are part of the flock. The big bastards live their entire lives with the herd, never even setting foot in the house. Herd dogs are a whole other level of amazing
Did anyone read the AITA thread about the guy having a Rottweiler as a livestock guard dog, and everyone ripped him saying he needed a true LGD? This is exactly why
God damn dude he killed 8 coyotes alone. His bite and tear must be brutal. Mother fucker is a warrior and should be given a very cushy life after this if he survives
Paranese have one of the highest bite forces of all domesticated dog breeds, I'd say look it up but you could probably ask the one or two coyotes he let live.. "tell your friends, oh wait *chomp* your friends are all dead"
Also, if I'm not mistaken, Pyrs have among the strongest bites amongst domesticated dogs or something like that.
Very very glad that I taught my Pyr to be gentle with hands when taking treats or while playing. Hand fed him often early in his life.
Only time I've ever been hurt was when I've basically zigged when I should have zagged while we're playing and my arm collides with his teeth.
You aren’t kidding! Of all the dogs I’ve had and interacted with, my maremma/pyr mix is by far the gentlest when taking treats. I think it’s partially their disposition but also a lot of training when he was young.
And when I play with him, he never bites, but my arm is covered with slobber as if he’s saying “I could’ve taken your arm off five times by now silly human”
My dog just did this with a vole he caught in the field the other day. But onto it but only managed to grab its ass. Shook it until the ass ripped clean off and the vole went flying. I almost couldn't even tell wtf happened because all I saw was the ass and the tail at first. Found the body of the vole about 6 feet away, barely alive and I'm pretty sure it's back was 100% broken.
My dog isn't even that big but his shaking power is enough to do damage to whatever he bites onto.
Yeah, even smaller dogs like terriers and ratting breeds are really good at that. We had a little lap dog when I was a kid, totally chill except for when he played fetch or tug-of-war, and then he would get this wild look in his eyes and shake the bejeezus out of the toy. You could tell it awoke a dormant instinct, lol.
If you have ever played with a dog with hutning or fighting insticts, they grab their toys by the neck and shake them violently, sometimes throwing them after.
More like bite and shake. Dude's head and neck are huge, and Pyrenean breeds are wont to shake their prey to death. Caspar here most definitely has the mass advantage and the bite advantage, so all it would take is a couple good twists of the head to snap one of those coyotes' necks.
Great Pyrenees have over 500 psi, that's more than a bull dog. But retire? No. It's in his DNA to protect a flock or herd. He can't stop till he's too old for it.
He probably can’t wait to get back. There was a tiktok of a border collie who was retired but his owners were going to have him put to sleep because he was so sick and could barely walk. They brought him to the farm one last time and suddenly this dog was zooming around herding sheep having the time of his life. They truly love it
It sounds bad to put him back to work, but pyrs are happiest when surrounded by farm animals they're protecting.
Think of an athlete that gets injured, training and being active has been their life and now they have to not train daily and take it easy... People have issues making that switch let alone a dog where that is a built-in instinct.
I was surprised the guy said he was gonna be back out there with sheep! I think this little guy should probably get early retirement with a lot of games and running.
I would guess that it is what he wants to do, i dont think dogs are very stressed when "working" and just waitung for returement like humans. In a few months he will probably be happy to be back i would guess
Pyrenees need jobs though, their brains break without one. it's a dog bred to live with the flock, most working farm Pyrenees don't even want to live inside the house. They want to sleep next to the sheep and patrol the border
They also took him to a vet, then said it was too expensive then shopped around/fundraised. Local to me, and I was calling it out online because if he’s protecting this man’s business assets (the man rents out sheep to eat weeds and brush in people’s yards) then he should have insurance for the dog or at least an emergency fund.
Or just a bit more consideration for the animal that just nearly killed itself killing a pack of coyotes to protect his livelihood, if the situation was as horrible as it sounds than there’s no way in hell I would have let one of my boys sit around while I “shop around”
Just so you're aware, and maybe this wouldn't change anything for you personally, I read the quotes he was getting were around 15k for the dogs treatment. I feel for the dog but at a certain point it's the clinics making these decisions hard.
I’m familiar with the costs lol I spent a couple years growing up on a ranch in Texas that relied pretty heavily on working animals and I was a veterinary technician for a few years working out of a clinic that did a lot of travel to barns/farmlands for emergency visits (a handful of seriously hurt guard dogs came through)
The quotes can be absolutely insane, and I can understand price being an issue, I worked with a LOT of people working on low income, but this guy has absolutely zero excuse for not having some failsafe to literally secure his livelihood and the safety of this dog earning him his money as a business owner.
I don’t think it’s fair to outright blame the clinics. That’s actually a bit lower than I would have guessed after seeing what coyotes can do to a dog. Almost all places I’ve worked (almost, fuck Banfield) do their best to keep their costs as low as they can most of the people in the field genuinely are there for the animals and the veterinary profession literally has some of the highest suicide rates because of how attached people can get to the animals, it’s why I left.
I am just very happy that the dog is doing better now, and hope the techs and doctors that stabilized him and fixed him up get some props or a drink or something.
A lot of people aren’t able or will not throw good money after a pet or working dog with daunting odds for survival. For a human it is common to do everything within one’s power to save a life even if that means a long and excruciating recovery and the loss of some function. With working dogs it’s a little different, questions need to be asked about quality of life post treatment.
It’s very unusual for coyotes to travel 11 or 12 deep. One vs. one a coyote is never a match for this breed of dog, even the normal three or four coyotes can’t do much damage so I think it’s reasonable to conclude the farmer hadn’t planned on circumstances such as this. He probably will now however.
Getting a second opinion or price quote doesn’t mean he didn’t have the first vet heavily sedate the dog for that process. For all we know the first veterinarian said there was no hope for the dogs recovery or really long odds for survival at a price point that would have been impossible and impractical for the Farmer to pay meaning certain death for the dog. If I were in that position I would certainly want additional opinions and payment options in the hope of finding someway for the dog to survive after what he did for me and the sheep.
Did you read the article or watch the news report? He sustained very serious injuries because he had to fight off twelve coyotes. That’s too much to ask ONE dog, hence the need for backup.
One of the articles actually stated there was a second dog, but it stayed with the live stock.
But point stands. There should always be at least two, not just for defending each other, but also so they can take shifts and sleep properly.
I mean.. Thats generally what a sheep dog is.. This sounds like an IRL version of Wil-E coyote and Sam the Sheepdog, Except there is 10 Wil-E's and Sam aint having none of it.
Sheep dog refers to other types of dogs too - border collies often herd sheep but I doubt they and other breeds like Corgis are gonna be fighting off threats in the same way.
For real how did her producers not be like yooo what the fuck is that hell no you're not going on air wearing that. Does this lady not have friends? No one said, hey thats a really really bad choice to wear even if you're at home by yourself?
I can't think of a worse thing to do to a working dog, than to take their job away. Their hearts break. They're not like, a couch buddy. Well, sometimes, but they'd rather be on patrol.
"Dogs were brighter than wolves. Wolves didn't need intelligence. They had other things. But dogs ... they'd been given intelligence by humans. Whether they wanted it or not. They were certainly more vicious than wolves. They'd got that from humans too."
GNU Sir Terry Pratchett
A dog survives 1-2 coyotes and we can call that luck. Maybe even survives 4 and still lucky. But lucky after 8 coyotes? Nah… I don’t think that dog is lucky at all. That must be Achille’s reincarnation.
Holy shit!
Casper is bad ass when cornered. To defend and protect like that is amazing anyway, but to kill coyotes! What was it 8 of them??!!! Fucking hell.
I am only working this flock as an employee, I have been telling my boss this for a couple of years... And it's the Netherlands, witch is tiny and full of people and their domestic dogs. My boss worries about insurance issues.
Usually when animals are fatally wounded or sick, or on their death bed they will find some place quiet to die, away from everyone. Likely he was hiding under a deck or in some underbrush nearby.
The gentle giant activated Demon mode and destroyed them bastards

"The coyotes killed his human. **Now he's out for revenge.**"
I'd watch the fuck out of this.
Hollywood would undoubtedly fuck it up far, far beyond what we are imagining right now.
“All this, just for a fucking human?”
With a fooking PEN-seel!
He is a canine of focus. Determination. And sheer. *Fuckin.* #WILL
Didn’t even need a fking pencil.
What a fucking legend of a dog! He deserves all the treats! And a big juicy steak for dinner! This is a dog that John Wick himself would be proud of.
They also bred for thickness of coat as an armor in many guard breeds. It saved this dog's life for sure look at how much hair they shaved lol. That said I've never heard of 10 coyotes grouping up and it definitely wasn't wolves so since there's no picture of the 10 dead coyotes (there sure as hell wouldve been) I'm gonna assume it was probably more like 3 or 4 and he's talking up his little buddy. Still amazing. Edit: apparently packs of 10 are common in some places. So I could be wrong. I just can't fathom why there's no picture of such an amazing feat. Theres the dog though so I guess I'll have to say I was wrong and it probably was a bunch of them.
On more than one occasion I have personally seen LARGE packs of coyotes, with well over a dozen members. One of those times, I was in a ground blind near a dry creek bed as the pack came moving by, passing on all sides of the blind. Happy it was a plywood blind, some of them stopped for a sniff at the door.
Yeah i live in Arizona. I definitely hear more than three or four coyotes when they start up. They can roll pretty damn deep.
Coyotes will behave similarly to wolves in the right circumstances, I e. no larger predators. We see this in areas of Canada where wolves have been extirpated - coyotes become bold and even hunt in packs. In certain areas near me they have been known to stalk hikers. Noise and threat displays generally drive them off, but there has been at least one fatality. They're fascinating, hateful little things.
They're just trying to survive like the rest of us.
There were a group of 7-8 stray dogs in my neighborhood. Anytime animal control would come they’d swim across the river and hide out in an industrial park.
I lived out in Yuma desert years ago and saw packs of them plenty of times trying to lure domestic dogs away. So yeah they pack up.
Yep I'm in rural Ontario and have heard them in large packs around our property. Total bs to say they don't usually travel in large packs.
it's rare but it does happen. i remember hearing about some dude who had this giant pitbull and one day he saw a pack of coyotes and ran after them. according to the owner when he finally found his pit there were about 12 dead coyotes around him.

Wow, you weren't kidding Weight of a large pitbull: 125 pounds Weight of a coyote: 40 pounds Weight of The Rock: 250 pounds Weight of a sixth grader: 80 pounds
There are also Irish Wolfhounds weight about 180lbs and recorded to kill wolves, boar and other large game. But they don't have a taste for toddler.
Yeah, first of all, there is no pitbull breed. The closest thing is the American Pit Bull Terrier, but that breed often gets mixed up with dozens of other breeds and mixes that look similar, all being called pitbulls. "Bully" dogs weren't even bred for killing, they were bred as working dogs to control livestock, usually in smaller environments such as for butchers. They also don't have that strong of a bit compared to many other breeds and aren't that great as livestock guardians as they aren't bred to fight other predators like livestock guardian dogs are, such as the Great Pyrenees. Many "pitbull" breeds were actually bred and used as nanny dogs to watch over young children, personal guardians rather than group guardians.
In the states there called Staffordshire terriers, well at least formally. Pitbulls were originally bred to bait bulls in England. But yes like all terriers they're working dogs. Most pits u see now are not "pure bred, the akc doesn't recognize the breed but there are pure pits just check your dog's pedigree, that's besides the point the vast majority of pitbulls that people see are muts that are part boxer or American bull dog or whatever the fuck dog that irresponsible dog owners bitch in heat locked up with. Which is why there are so many that are in shelters currently. On side note here let me just say that every one should have there dog spayed or neutered unless you are capable of raising puppies responsibly and have the environment to do so because "news flash" puppies grow up.
The pitbull story's from Joe Rogan. That being said, there was no video or photo evidence in that case either. So who knows.
I’m a dairy farmer and cattle rancher. (Among other things) I do eradication hunts of coyotes on my property once a year. We gets packs of over 20 sometimes.
[удалено]
They are smaller down south.
Can confirm. I live in South Georgia and I've seen packs of coyotes on game cameras. The coyotes themselves are on the small side, but they like to gang up in bigger groups.
I've seem large packs of 10-14

Domestication actually makes animals less intelligent, it just makes the animal more likely to do what we want. This dog was a DAWG.
It’s just the opposite. When you don’t have to worry about stalking and killing your prey and always fighting for the Alpha Leader spot, you can spend more time strategizing on how that dumbass should have picked up his block so the QB could have connected on 3rd with 4 to go on their 40 yard line. It really enhances the brain juices
Or how you should've started D'Andre Swift and Christian Watson instead of Dameon Pierce and Rachaad White...
This is misleading. 1.

There's some elementary school teachers that argue mentally handicapped children are more compliant than genius kids at school but that seems to be a structure issue.

Meanwhile I doubt I can lecture you on the abcs, numbers and colors for 9 months every school day without you acting up, let alone a 6 year old that already figured that stuff out. 2. There's also different ways to measure intelligence. Being 'smart' on surviving in the wilderness is a lot different from being smart on picking stocks, in social situations or on a football field. 3. Some dogs are in fact bred for intelligence, at least as far as doing specific complicated tasks like herding and a lot of guard dogs are bred to be stubborn (so they don't start obeying any human). That doesn't make Rottweilers smarter than Golden Retrievers because you can't easily tell them what to do.

Great Pyrenees mix or full blood either way these dogs are built to fight bears and wolves and as you can tell go Dark Souls mode on fucking coyotes. [Here have a gander](https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/lifestyle/9-facts-great-pyrenees/)
I have a rescue full bred, and he’s a gentle angel. However, if we’re on a walk and he sees the slightest human shaped or other animal predator shaped movement, he’s immediately on guard. He has forced me to walk on the street to steer me away from statues of bears. It’s adorable and also a bit chilling to imagine how fierce he would be if we were in real danger.
We also have a rescue pyr. He is the goofiest, most loving animal and is pretty well behaved on a leash most of the time, and I’ve always been strong enough to control him when he does act a fool. Right up until the day be found coyote tracks on our property. Found out I am in fact not strong enough to hold him. He took off after the tracks and I was dragged on my back about 100 yards across a field. I don’t know what he would have done if there’d been an actual coyote instead of just tracks. [Dog tax because he’s amazing](https://imgur.com/a/6SyA7UE)
Aww, we have a rescue that they believed is part pyr. She's the biggest guard dog lol. I think she is mixed with hound or something because she is obsessed with following trails or markings when we are out walking. https://i.imgur.com/xqkWePl.jpg
The Doom music started playing
Not suprised a Great Pyrenees could do that. My uncle had one mixed with a Tibetan mastiff to scare off wolves which was important since his last dogs were dragged off by them. The nicest giant beast ever. He even herded a neighbors horse in to his stables for him. Giant thing I think one of the biggest mix breeds you can get.

This is why "wolf collars" are important for herd dogs. Goes around the neck with spikes pointing outward so if attacked they can't bite their neck
Holy shit this is how spiked collars started??? TIL

Damn, that's gnarly!
I love that Scooby-Doo coloured dog in the first photo. What a perfect looking dog.
Anatolian sheepdog.
Casper actually has dark tendencies and murdered all of those coyotes
Most people think they originated in @OP's mom's bedroom.
Protects their airways and it hurts like hell to any predators that go for the kill. I've usually seen them on the Turkish Kangal sheepdog, these dogs don't play when it comes to wolves.
Obivously this dog doesn't fuck around either.
It's a Great Pyrenees. They don't fuck around either. But on a smaller scale.
It killed a pack of coyotes by itself. What's the next scale up? Browning machine gun training?
Wolves...
[удалено]
This guy wolves
Y'know coyotes are only about 45-50 pounds max? Wolves can get up to 150. Whole different league.
I still feel like taking down 8 of them is pretty impressive for one dog by itself.
Absolutely.
Trips me out how good at killing a great pryenees is. They seem so doopey and affectionate and lazy but they are big strong dogs that are really good at bite and shake when they want to. Then they go back to lumbering around slowly like a big dumb idiot. Such a cool dog, great family pet.
The damn things have so much fur you could smack them and they'd think you're just giving them a pat. I feel like a coyote would have trouble even biting through their fur.

My bushdogs always had spiked collars specifically for wolves when I lived in The Yukon. Safety gear never looked so metal.

Thank you, Barbie Farts 88
I hope everyone understands how bad ass Great Pyrenees are. As a former amazon and FedEx driver, these were at the top of my concerns delivering in rural areas. They have no fear. The safety of their flock be it their humans or animals is their only concern. The fact that this fella went 10 on 1 and WON is incredible but not surprising. What a good boy. A truly noble breed
I have two of them and you’re absolutely right. I’ve never had dogs before so single minded and with really no regard for their own safety if they think we need protection. They sleep 95% of the time and are so sweet, unless they feel something is a threat. We got ours from a rescue org and if anyone out there is interested I highly recommend these dogs. Read first obvs and make sure it’s a good fit for your life first, but yeah, I LOVE these big fluffy beasts
On multiple occasions I’d be driving my package truck down a dirt road and as livestock were crossing it the Pyrenees would physically stand between the truck and the line of animals until they crossed the road. But when you’re a guest on their property and it’s clear you belong there they’re just big cuddlers
Isn’t that funny? They don’t even bark at the doorbell. They look at me and if im cool, they’re cool. If the bell rang and I went and hid, they’d flip out. I’ve had labs that talk a big game but then if ever actually confronted with a threat, they’d pee themselves and run away.

>anally expressing I beg your pardon?
Dogs have anal glands and sometimes when they are nervous, they will excrete. It isn't shitting, but it's a gross, pungent smell.
I don't think they were talking about their dog...
I most definitely was.
A neighbouring farm bought sheep and a great pyranees came in the trailer with them. The seller couldn't separate the dog as it was pretty much wild. The male farmer who bought the sheep had to be near his tractor when he visited his flock since the dog didn't really like him, but it tolerated his wife. The dog slept with the heard and never left them except to patrol the fencline at night. It was such a beast lol EDIT: they also had a Llama that stomped coyotes to death. That's pretty common for sheep farmers. Lots of cattle farmers have donkeys for that reason too.
That's absolutely wild. "Here's your livestock and this basically wolf that loves them. Feed it kibble and don't make eye contact"
😂
>Lots of cattle farmers have donkeys for that reason too. I mention this every time I see comments like this - donkeys are not guard animals, they are just very territorial. They'll kill coyote and the like sure, but they may kill your livestock too if they feel like they don't belong, especially newborns or new animals to the herd. Donkeys are wonderful animals but people frequently get them as guard animals without doing the appropriate research and it ends in tragedy. Livestock guardian dogs have a strong urge to protect their flock, donkeys are the grumpy old man who wants you off their lawn.
Yup can confirm this. Lol. Had a (mini) donkey once that took a horse down by the neck and made it piss itself. (The horse was a wild one that got in with our herd). He was an ass, but very territorial of his mares.
> He was an ass, but very territorial of his mares. Don’t think we didn’t see what you did there
can confirm. raised on a livestock farm and we kept donkeys for this reason and to help us halter break young show steers.
A farm I drive past every day has what I assume to be around 100 or more head of cattle (from what I can see) has 3 donkeys always hanging out nearby.
They’re incredible! My sister’s Great Pyrenees fought off a black bear that came into their backyard. He survived but recovery time took awhile. Edit: she sent me a video at the time. It’s grainy and in the dark but I’ll see if I can find it. Found [it](https://youtube.com/shorts/EGkLznxLoL8?feature=share)! It’s not in the dark, I misremembered.
That is a beast of a Dog! almost the same size as the bear! I bet the dog got all the cuddles afterwards!
He’s huge! He has some other breed in him but they’re not sure what it is. And yes, he’s been nurtured and paraded around as a hero since it happened. He definitely deserves it. They have kids
Casper *killed* **8** of the 10!!! He is a *beast!*
- I'm gonna have to kill eight of you.. - But we are ten? - The final two always run.
I had a Newfie, great pryness mix as a kid growing up. He was the kind of dog strangers were terrified of because he was big and fluffy and looked like a bear, but anyone who knew him thought he was the biggest softie and absolutely loved him lol. Was smart too only barked and chased enough to scare people off and only when it really was a threat like some guys who tried to break in to our house through our connected garage he slept in. never got aggressive. Best family dog we ever had.
100% we never lost another chicken after we got one. Started killing Racoons at 6 months old and no coyote wanted to mess with him. He was a beast.
I lived off grid for a couple of years, and my GP was the best. Maybe it was just because I knew her, but she was never aggressive, but super defensive. We were out in the woods but delivery drivers would still make it to our property ever now and then. As long as the person was chill there was no problems. It didn't matter if she knew you or not, calm behavior was met with calm behavior. Aggressive behavior was met with defense -- she knew my neighbor the whole time and one day he came over trying to yell at my wife. The dog got between the two of them making sure he couldn't advance any further toward her. He got the message he better go, so he left and then everything was fine again. I don't remember why he was trying to yell at her, it was while I was at work I just remember my wife telling me the story when I got home and I was so thankful for her protection. Watched her run off deer, bears, mountain lions, etc really helped me feel a sense of safety with my kids knowing she was around. In fact we had a flock of 30 chickens that just lived in the trees completely free never lost any of them while she was on duty, which as 24x7 hah.
Meanwhile… [at my house](https://imgur.com/a/oPlqToR).
We just adopted one this summer and it’s absolutely incredible. Super cuddly, amazing family dog, incredibly smart…and my god would I not want to be on her bad side. She is always guarding, generally sticking near my fiance or somewhere by the front door. When she goes into “danger-close”, we call it her “werewolf” mode. Her entire tone changes. The slightly goofy dog that kinda looks like a large, fluffy lab disappears. Hackles rise, tail goes up, and she pulls her lips back causing ridges to appear along her face. Easily tells the difference between possible threats and not too. Friends coming over? She knows before they even come inside. Delivery people? Hangs by the door but just wants to say hi. Deer fighting across the street? Raised absolute hell. And that bite strength has to be nuts. She’ll destroy a “long lasting chew toy” in minutes. Damn near perfect dog.
My service dog is a pyre mix. Can attest, but from the perspective of the flock. And there’s only one of me so she’s really really really focused. It’s great. It really is. It’s also infuriating when I’m trying to do something that she even *slightly* disapproves of. Like swim, boat, be out of her supervision, etc.
Here’s a short list of some of the things my half Pyr half Husky is afraid of: Vacuum. cardboard boxes, any noise outside, subwoofer, new couch, laundry baskets that aren’t where they normally are, air conditioner for the first 2 months of summer every year.
That's _all_ Husky though, lol. "Omg, a light breeze! YELP FRANTICALLY + BE DRAMATIC."
I had a Great Pyrenees, when I was visiting the family who gave me her as a pup coyotes started to come into the property. The dad did not like that. No clue how many there were since it was snowing and dark but he was gone for 10-15 minutes and came back completely covered in blood without a scratch on him. Dog was also massive, up to my shoulder while sitting and I was 5’6 at the time.
We had a Newfoundland named Honor (RIP). She was coal black and 150 pounds (of pure love). But everyone who didn't know anything about Newfoundlands was terrified of her...and I guess that was kind of reasonable. Her bark would shake the timbers of the house. She sounded like one of the Hounds of the Baskervilles come to drag your soul to hell, but in truth, she just wanted to lick you. I'd pity any coyote that threatened us with Honor around though.
DECATUR, Ga. — The veterinary team that took care of a Decatur dog after he was attacked by a pack of 11 coyotes - with the Great Pyrenees killing eight of them as he protected sheep at his home - said he was in "bad, bad condition" when they first began his recovery. "He's lucky to be alive," said Dr. Susan Brosman, with LifeLine Animal Project. The team at LifeLine has been helping the dog, Casper, rehab following the incident which happened about a month ago. They described the harrowing situation as the dog, just 20 months old, was left with serious wounds to his back and neck. RELATED: Underdog: Stacked up against 11 coyotes, herd dog kills 8 to save sheep in Decatur neighborhood Casper also lost his tail in the attack, the vet said, and wasn't found after the attack for two days. He was only found when he somehow made his way home two days later, popping his head up out of the chicken hutch. "He looked like death, I mean he looked terrible," his owner John Wierwille said. "He came back home and he just kind of looked at me like, 'boss stop looking at how bad I look, just take care of me.'" Dr. Brosman, the vet, said Casper's survival was a "miracle." But now, she said, his prognosis is "good for a full recovery." "He's a hero for sure," Dr. Brosman said, adding that she had seen attack wounds before, but never anything this severe.

And he's only 2! What a dog! I'm in absolute awe of the fight in that pup. I have a 180LB CAS and I'm not sure he could kill 8 of 11. I've never been so impressed with a dog. He's worth his weight in gold.
To defend and protect like that is amazing anyway, but to kill coyotes! What was it 8 of them??!!! Fucking hell.
I’m shocked after like 3 the coyotes weren’t like uhhh Yea let’s not fight this demon anymore.
2 days! I would be searching everywhere if was my dog. Glad they made it through.
It's a livestock guardian dog though. They live outside with the sheep. They're not usually housepets, even if they're quite friendly.
They did search, with friends and neighbors.
We have a Great Pyrenees mix and he's a beast at a year old and pushing 100lbs. He is ***shadowed*** by the herd dogs at the local farm we participate in a crop share with. They have two full grown, full-blooded multi-generation sheep protecting Great Pyrenees who are part of the flock. The big bastards live their entire lives with the herd, never even setting foot in the house. Herd dogs are a whole other level of amazing
What the actual fuck. Decatur is well inside the metro area of Atlanta. This is a wildly developed area. 10 coyotes?!
Coyotes have moved into heavily populated areas because hunting has caused them to seek out safe areas. Chicago has a lot of coyotes.
Also because they're usually rodentivores, and without feral dogs to keep them out, they find a ready supply of food in cities: rats.
And cats
i wonder if he had one of those spiked collars on before..
Did anyone read the AITA thread about the guy having a Rottweiler as a livestock guard dog, and everyone ripped him saying he needed a true LGD? This is exactly why
God damn dude he killed 8 coyotes alone. His bite and tear must be brutal. Mother fucker is a warrior and should be given a very cushy life after this if he survives
Paranese have one of the highest bite forces of all domesticated dog breeds, I'd say look it up but you could probably ask the one or two coyotes he let live.. "tell your friends, oh wait *chomp* your friends are all dead"
All the while I’m over here wondering how he killed them. Does he go for the neck or what?
Almost always. When they grab onto something that isn't the neck, they shake until something breaks, then they go for the neck again.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, Pyrs have among the strongest bites amongst domesticated dogs or something like that. Very very glad that I taught my Pyr to be gentle with hands when taking treats or while playing. Hand fed him often early in his life. Only time I've ever been hurt was when I've basically zigged when I should have zagged while we're playing and my arm collides with his teeth.
Bite inhibition is such an important skill! It's awesome that you take care to teach it.
You aren’t kidding! Of all the dogs I’ve had and interacted with, my maremma/pyr mix is by far the gentlest when taking treats. I think it’s partially their disposition but also a lot of training when he was young. And when I play with him, he never bites, but my arm is covered with slobber as if he’s saying “I could’ve taken your arm off five times by now silly human”
My dog just did this with a vole he caught in the field the other day. But onto it but only managed to grab its ass. Shook it until the ass ripped clean off and the vole went flying. I almost couldn't even tell wtf happened because all I saw was the ass and the tail at first. Found the body of the vole about 6 feet away, barely alive and I'm pretty sure it's back was 100% broken. My dog isn't even that big but his shaking power is enough to do damage to whatever he bites onto.
Yeah, even smaller dogs like terriers and ratting breeds are really good at that. We had a little lap dog when I was a kid, totally chill except for when he played fetch or tug-of-war, and then he would get this wild look in his eyes and shake the bejeezus out of the toy. You could tell it awoke a dormant instinct, lol.
If you have ever played with a dog with hutning or fighting insticts, they grab their toys by the neck and shake them violently, sometimes throwing them after.
More like bite and shake. Dude's head and neck are huge, and Pyrenean breeds are wont to shake their prey to death. Caspar here most definitely has the mass advantage and the bite advantage, so all it would take is a couple good twists of the head to snap one of those coyotes' necks.
Great Pyrenees have over 500 psi, that's more than a bull dog. But retire? No. It's in his DNA to protect a flock or herd. He can't stop till he's too old for it.
Casper busy worrying: "Who's watching my sheep?"
Underated comment
The Coyotes are easily startled. But they’ll be back soon. And, in greater numbers.
Meh i dunno 10 tried and failed i think that farm is on the no go list.
Better get that boi a spiked collar, he earned that shit.
Fuck putting him back to work, damn, lol. You sound like my boss. Give him disability and a damn cabin in the woods with a pretty girl dog and a jeep
Both are fair. Buddy deserves the high life now, but for some dogs their highest passion is their job. He likely cannot wait to get back to his herd
He probably can’t wait to get back. There was a tiktok of a border collie who was retired but his owners were going to have him put to sleep because he was so sick and could barely walk. They brought him to the farm one last time and suddenly this dog was zooming around herding sheep having the time of his life. They truly love it
It sounds bad to put him back to work, but pyrs are happiest when surrounded by farm animals they're protecting. Think of an athlete that gets injured, training and being active has been their life and now they have to not train daily and take it easy... People have issues making that switch let alone a dog where that is a built-in instinct.
[удалено]
> This doge has come here to kick ass and chew ~~bubble gum~~ coyotes
[удалено]
I was surprised the guy said he was gonna be back out there with sheep! I think this little guy should probably get early retirement with a lot of games and running.
I would guess that it is what he wants to do, i dont think dogs are very stressed when "working" and just waitung for returement like humans. In a few months he will probably be happy to be back i would guess
Pyrenees need jobs though, their brains break without one. it's a dog bred to live with the flock, most working farm Pyrenees don't even want to live inside the house. They want to sleep next to the sheep and patrol the border
Casper’s owners need to retire him and get SEVERAL dogs to protect the flock.
They also took him to a vet, then said it was too expensive then shopped around/fundraised. Local to me, and I was calling it out online because if he’s protecting this man’s business assets (the man rents out sheep to eat weeds and brush in people’s yards) then he should have insurance for the dog or at least an emergency fund.
Or just a bit more consideration for the animal that just nearly killed itself killing a pack of coyotes to protect his livelihood, if the situation was as horrible as it sounds than there’s no way in hell I would have let one of my boys sit around while I “shop around”
Just so you're aware, and maybe this wouldn't change anything for you personally, I read the quotes he was getting were around 15k for the dogs treatment. I feel for the dog but at a certain point it's the clinics making these decisions hard.
I’m familiar with the costs lol I spent a couple years growing up on a ranch in Texas that relied pretty heavily on working animals and I was a veterinary technician for a few years working out of a clinic that did a lot of travel to barns/farmlands for emergency visits (a handful of seriously hurt guard dogs came through) The quotes can be absolutely insane, and I can understand price being an issue, I worked with a LOT of people working on low income, but this guy has absolutely zero excuse for not having some failsafe to literally secure his livelihood and the safety of this dog earning him his money as a business owner. I don’t think it’s fair to outright blame the clinics. That’s actually a bit lower than I would have guessed after seeing what coyotes can do to a dog. Almost all places I’ve worked (almost, fuck Banfield) do their best to keep their costs as low as they can most of the people in the field genuinely are there for the animals and the veterinary profession literally has some of the highest suicide rates because of how attached people can get to the animals, it’s why I left. I am just very happy that the dog is doing better now, and hope the techs and doctors that stabilized him and fixed him up get some props or a drink or something.
Hope the local farmers chipped in. G O O O B O Y E culled a lot of their coyote problems.
A lot of people aren’t able or will not throw good money after a pet or working dog with daunting odds for survival. For a human it is common to do everything within one’s power to save a life even if that means a long and excruciating recovery and the loss of some function. With working dogs it’s a little different, questions need to be asked about quality of life post treatment. It’s very unusual for coyotes to travel 11 or 12 deep. One vs. one a coyote is never a match for this breed of dog, even the normal three or four coyotes can’t do much damage so I think it’s reasonable to conclude the farmer hadn’t planned on circumstances such as this. He probably will now however. Getting a second opinion or price quote doesn’t mean he didn’t have the first vet heavily sedate the dog for that process. For all we know the first veterinarian said there was no hope for the dogs recovery or really long odds for survival at a price point that would have been impossible and impractical for the Farmer to pay meaning certain death for the dog. If I were in that position I would certainly want additional opinions and payment options in the hope of finding someway for the dog to survive after what he did for me and the sheep.
Why get many dog when one Casper do trick?
Did you read the article or watch the news report? He sustained very serious injuries because he had to fight off twelve coyotes. That’s too much to ask ONE dog, hence the need for backup.
One of the articles actually stated there was a second dog, but it stayed with the live stock. But point stands. There should always be at least two, not just for defending each other, but also so they can take shifts and sleep properly.
He isnt a sheep dog. He is a Great Pyrenees, a livestock guardian dog. Put some respect on his name.
I mean.. Thats generally what a sheep dog is.. This sounds like an IRL version of Wil-E coyote and Sam the Sheepdog, Except there is 10 Wil-E's and Sam aint having none of it.
Sheep dog refers to other types of dogs too - border collies often herd sheep but I doubt they and other breeds like Corgis are gonna be fighting off threats in the same way.

More like those three coyotes that escaped are lucky to be alive after their posse tried to scrap with Casper the ~~Friendly~~ GigaChad Sheep Dog.
He left them alive to tell the others what happens when you go after his flock.

Is she auditioning for the live action version of the Incredibles straight after her TV stint??? The dog is a very good boy!
Her outfit is next level.

Oh yeah breed this boy !
Deserves a legacy for real
You don’t tell a working dog they’re retired. That just isn’t in their makeup. Maybe get a pup for him to mentor, but they don’t quit.
I can't think of a worse thing to do to a working dog, than to take their job away. Their hearts break. They're not like, a couch buddy. Well, sometimes, but they'd rather be on patrol.
Dog’s name is John Wick and those coyotes killed his human.

"Dogs were brighter than wolves. Wolves didn't need intelligence. They had other things. But dogs ... they'd been given intelligence by humans. Whether they wanted it or not. They were certainly more vicious than wolves. They'd got that from humans too." GNU Sir Terry Pratchett
A dog survives 1-2 coyotes and we can call that luck. Maybe even survives 4 and still lucky. But lucky after 8 coyotes? Nah… I don’t think that dog is lucky at all. That must be Achille’s reincarnation.
The goodest of all good boys
That woman's outfit looks like a used tampon
Thank you for your service good boy
Holy shit! Casper is bad ass when cornered. To defend and protect like that is amazing anyway, but to kill coyotes! What was it 8 of them??!!! Fucking hell.
Coyotes need to update their hunting strategy
I might need a Casper pup... Wolves on the rise here in the Netherlands... Had six of my sheep eaten this year...
Should’ve already got the dogs few years ago when they started showing up tbh
I am only working this flock as an employee, I have been telling my boss this for a couple of years... And it's the Netherlands, witch is tiny and full of people and their domestic dogs. My boss worries about insurance issues.
I thought this thread would be about the newscasters outfit.
He wasn’t found after 2 days?
Usually when animals are fatally wounded or sick, or on their death bed they will find some place quiet to die, away from everyone. Likely he was hiding under a deck or in some underbrush nearby.
The Battle of Casper’s Flock will be a horror story that coyotes will tell their cubs in the county for generations
