9. Yes, that's why we got our first Pyrs.

The kids were raising 4H lambs, and we had Nubian goats for milk, but we had a terrible problem with loose dogs the neighbor. Even as as a youngster the Pyrs was an effective deterrent and stayed with the barnyard critters and bedded down with the flock. We took the dogs traveling with us to livestock shows and fairs, and they protected us from harm more than once. The critters have long gone, but we loved the Great Pyrenees and they've stayed as our companions... and the chew toy for Jack The Cat.
