Hello! I have a 3 month old pyr. We adopted her to guard our farm and be a best friend to our children. She's given love all day by ourselves and our children.
She was raised with her parents who were primary LGDs and did great at this job. Since having her she's shown no interest in the farm or guarding.
I walk the perimeter with her to show her the farm. She prefers to lay on the back stoop and have fun with us. I know she's still very young, but I didn't know if there's something else I should be doing while she's young to foster the LGD in her. She is kept near the livestock when possible, but she always returns to the house.
I'm not looking for judgement, just advice! Some pyr owners told me if you spoil your pyr they won't guard livestock. We are dog lovers and can't help but love this honey, so if that's the case, she's not gonna be a great guarder of the farm :)
