Livestock Guardian Dog

Things like Great Pyrenees, Kuchi, most things with "shepherd" in the name, mastiffs. Breeds like that.

Anecdote time: I have a Pyrenees collie mix, and a small terrier. The Pyrenees protects the terrier when they're outside, mostly from the hawks/owls that like to fly around the fields looking for rodents. But I have gone to check on them before and opened the door just in time to see the Pyrenees barking up a storm chasing off a coyote. I'm confident that a coyote wouldn't be able to get through my fence and attack the terrier before I could grab something and fight/scare it off, but I know with the Big Boye out there I don't have to worry about it (but still do, people tell me I Dan leave them out there for longer periods but I keep pacing by the windows and back door to check on them every minute or so they're out there)
