Dexter, the neighbors great Pyrenees dog who tends to hang out with us more than he is at home is loving this weather. Even though I made him a comfortable dog bed under the heated trailer where he can get out of the rain and weather, Right now with the temps in the upper teens, he was asleep in the middle of the gravel road till the sun caught up with his spot, then he gets up and moves into the shade and goes back to sleep. I am sure he has some polar bear in his ancestry. I have seen him get snowed in where you could just make out the black note and the eyes in what looks like a snow drift. He spent half the night chasing coyotes around and barking and growling at them, hen came to us for breakfast and is bathing in the clod shade now waiting for us to go for our morning walk and tag along.

Cool dog.

How tough do you have to be to lay down and sleep on the gravel like that?


What from Christ that soul can sever,
Bound by everlasting bands?
None shall take thee
From the Strength of Israel's hands.

Kart, his fur is so thick, he does not fee the gravel. I have a job getting through to his skin to pull ticks out. When I brush him, there is always enough fur left over , you could build a collie out of it grin

In the spring he is a great source for listing material for the local bird population

Rancher in Wy had one, and I was able to avoid catching him for about four or five years. He lived with the sheep, and the rancher fed him when he went to check the sheep. That pasture was about four miles from his house. He said, the dog stays out there with those ewes all the time, so as the years went by, I got braver and braver about where I set. Had some coyote sets about a mile from the house, and one afternoon, there he is. As I walked up to him, he held up his foot with the trap on it, as if to say, get this thing off me! I did my normal, get to where you can pet him, put him in a head lock, and step on the levers, and he went back to the sheep, using all four feet. Wasn’t sure how well it was gonna go, but he didn’t try to bite. or really fight me….I was glad of that. He prolly weighed near 200 pounds! The good thing was, there was a lot…I mean a LOT of hair to grab ahold of!

I used to catch one 2-3 times a year. He never did learn to stay out of them. Held his foot up
the same way.

Daughter and son in line raise chicken ducks geese and peafowl for extra income. They all free range all day. Have two Pyrenees dogs . Just sold a litter of their pups. They were losing a lot of birds to predators. They dont now. Those dogs have killed possums coons coyotes skunks and bobcats. Never touched one of their birds. Not ever.

Scuba this is our Anatolian/Pyrenees cross. He'd rather lay out in the yard when it's cold than sleep in his warm dog house. 28° the other morning and he was curled up on the grass.

Dexter the great Pyrenees and Doodle the Feist are not mine. They belong to the neighbor. But as I am home most days and they work full time jobs, those two have adopted us and hang out here. The neighbor comes over to my place in his truck now and then to " borrow " his Feist when he want to go on a squirrel hunt. Sometimes doodle comes back to us , still wearing his orange jacket when the neighbor was not quick enough to take it off him. Dexter looks after the chickens at night and chases coyotes to the next zip code area. He has chased off our resident bear a few times. He loves to play with my German Shepard as he is more his size than the little sprat of a dog that is the Feist. Between those three I have the safest chickens in east Tennessee lol . This is mine ..

Finn is a nice looking shepherd. My father only would have pure old line German Shepherds. All were great dogs for him.
