LGD (Livestock Guardian Dog) breeds have been used for centuries to protect livestock from predators in Europe and Asia. The most well-known of these breeds in the United States are the Great Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherds, Akbash, and Maremma. They are generally weary of strangers and their size alone can be intimidating. Though strong, independent-minded, and protective, they are normally gentle with children and livestock alike.
