I know this is not a tractor question, but there is a lot of useful knowledge on the site. I have male and female Great Pyrenees Dogs which are about 1-1/2 years old. They protect my Bore goats (about twenty). We have coyotes which killed about 10 baby goats before I got these dogs. They are very protective of these goats and in fact, think they are goats. My problem is I also have about 15 sheep, which are now in a separate pasture. I would like to combine the goats and sheep together in one large area (about 25 AC). I tried this about three months ago and the dogs killed one of the sheep. I don"t want to repeat that again. What is the best way to introduce the dogs to the sheep? Should I put a long rope around the dogs neck and jerk them back if they get into an attack mode when in the sheep pasture? Or what other method/s should I try? TKS, Russ
