Newfoundland Dog Breeders Quebec Q&A
What dog breeds are good for guarding livestock?
I'm looking for breeds that are capable of guarding and protecting chickens, sheep and horses if raised with them from puppyhood. I'd raise the pup as I would raise any other livestock guardian dog - with their herd/flock from day 1. I'm looking for breeds suited toward this lifestyle and breeds that are capable of handling this lifestyle as well as the work required of them. Any suggestions?
If you have a breed in mind, the breeder must be in Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland/Labrador, Quebec or Ontario, Canada. The closer to Nova Scotia, the better.
Border Collies are herders not protectors. Pyrenees hasn't been ruined yet by bad breeding and the instincts bred into them by years and years of livestock guardians is still deeply set in most lines. The Pyr breeders as well as the rescue groups working with this breed are trying very hard to keep the lines pure for instinct so if you want a really good guardian that wants to stay with his charges and not live in the house, this would be the breed of choice.
