There has already been too much

DRAMAgo to steem-engine.com.We have two Great Pyrenees and they're indeed great. They work as a team to keep predators away with one patrolling a perimeter while the other usually stays close. The outer one engages and the inner one barks to let the predator know which way not to go. We have lots of coyotes which keep their distance and rarely lose a chicken. They leave the deer alone and seem to be able to distinguish predators, possibly due to the forward set eyes. They even keep an eye on hawks above and bark at any that land in a nearby tree. Expect quite a bit of barking at night because that is what they do to keep things away. From morning to mid day they sleep and that is when any remaining predation will happen by a smart coyote or coon that figures out their routine.
I love dogs as livestock guardians, and both breeds are popular around us, though Pyrenees has always been my favorite of the two. Our dog Lolo is half Pyrenees, as his mom was purebred.
I'd still like to kick myself, because our neighbor across the street used to breed them, and there was a female in his last litter that became Lolo's best friend. I don't think they were purebred, but they were mostly Pyrenees, and protected his sheep . . . he never lost one to a predator. She even walked down to the barn with me on a couple of occasions to help me check on the goats.
Unfortunately, just about the time I decided to ask for her, she disappeared. . . he had already found a home for her. Lolo was heartbroken, and kept looking for her everywhere. I missed her too. She was a sweetheart, beautiful, and really good with the goats.
Your new boy is a beauty, and I have no doubt you'll have gorgeous pups down the line.
