If you want to keep Lady safe and give her the freedom
to live, then
you will need adequate fencing. That really is the bottom line! I will
never forget the story about a Pyr who was a LGD on a large ranching
operation in NM. The propane truck came to deliver propane to this
remote ranch and the Pyr was on the county road and was hit by the
truck.
< the Pyr did live after surgery and a long recovery> So even though
you live in the country, Lady is in danger of being injured by any vehicle.
As to ranchers shooting dogs! It happens all the time and they don't
seem to care if it's a LGD or not. I may sound harsh, but doing rescue
I've seen TOO MANY Pyrs injured by vehicles and just recently a Pyr
here, whose owners used electronic collars < that by the way did not
prevent the Pyr from roaming> was shot by a neighboring rancher.
Now as to the Pyr Paw...my Kazak never gave me the paw....until I
taught him....then I had to teach him... NO PAW! :)
