Great Pyrenees is what my wife and I were looking at. I just stumbled on this YouTube video and wanted to look at that breed as well

You don't want a dogo for goats, yeah it can kill lions and pigs but it'll probably kill goats too. If you are worries about heat Anatolian Shepard has a shorter coat and would do the job. Or a kuvasz has a shorter coat as well, made for herd guarding. Or a donkey/llama will guard a herd just as well as a dog but male donkeys intact can be rough on kids.

Get the donkey,it will protect the goats like crazy.

Just get a European working line German Shepherd Dog.

You can't go wrong. The worlds most versatile breed, one of the smartest, toughest, etc.

That's my little sweetheart there.

If you're looking for a livestock guardian dog there are a few important things to keep in mind. First, you want to purchase a young pup that you can bond to your animals. It's important that the dogs feel that they're a part of the flock otherwise they'll be more likely to wander off. Unfortunately, Great Pyrenees have a bad reputation for doing just that. Secondly, I would not buy two pups at the same time as they are more likely to get rough with the kids/lambs and will end up killing some in the process-zee specially if you buy litter mates. It's better to raise one at a time. If you're looking for a more aggressive lgd breed I would consider either a kangal dog (which is very similar to the Anatolian) or a komondor. We have had lgd's for about 12 years now and have found th komondor to be the best by far. If you are interested in the breed, I can recommend a breeder north of Tulsa that has a good line of dogs that he runs with his commercial herd of hair sheep. Make sure you buy a pup out of working parents that have been running with livestock. There are too many "pets" being sold as livestock guardian dogs. If you're on Facebook, join the livestock guardian dog page and there is a wealth of information available there as well, including some folks in Texas with sarplaninacs. Good luck to ya!

Yep!

.... and as mentioned, a pet is the last thing you want guarding your livestock as they would rather be on the porch closest to you than in the field working around the clock protecting animals.

I would go with that advice. I do know that the no interaction with humans at all is the best for a real working ranch. The last one I hunted on had Great Pyrenees. Come to think of it I do remember seeing them wandering off at times.

However, I am assuming that ole Collector is not needing to go quite that hardcore.

Definitely will be looking for a puppy to grow up with the animals!

I would like to give it enough attention that it will be safe around kids.

A month ago, A guy about 5 miles down the road gave two Great Pyrenees to my wife cuz they didn't want them anymore and didn't have a big enough yard for them. She called me all excited cuz she got them for free. Well her and my step son loaded them up in a kennel in the back of the truck and took them home. They pulled around to the back yard and open up the kennel. Both dogs ran off my property and straight back to their home lol. I told her it was a good thing they were free
