I have a 13 lb miniature American Eskimo dog and a 5 lb Maltese. I never let the Maltese outside because hawks and owls threaten her. The American Eskimo is a doll....she is gentle with the chickens, goats, ducks and guinea hen. We have 18 acres yet she never goes so far away, albeit we never leave her for extended periods unattended.
I want to get a Pyrenees as a guardian dog that we will care for excellently, but it will be an outside dog within the pen where the goats and livestock roam. It will have a nice home and be allowed out daily for exercise and bonding time with me. But her main home will be in her own pen within the pen...
I am concerned that once the Pyr grows up, she will hurt my American Eskimo. I plan to integrate them with love and play as best I can and to take them on walks together (pyr on leash, AE free range as usual)
I'm hoping once they get to know one another they will do well...I would be devastated if the bigger dog accidently killed my American Eskimo because of my ignorance. Do you have any advice on training or keeping them both safe?
Thank you very much for your time,
