  1. That is a HUGE dog! Flock dog or all around barn dog?

    1. Juniper is correct. He's one of 2 Great Pyrenees used as a livestock guarding dog. They both live outside year round with the herd.

  2. I believe the dog is a Great Pyrenees, a large breed of dog used as a livestock guardian dog.

    And Meredith is strong to heft that bale of hay with one arm on one shoulder!

    1. Correct on the dogs.

      This is really light hay and only half a bale.

      A bale of alfalfa? I can barely carry. So dense and heavy.

      The hay pictured is lower quality and used on the warmer days...the alpacas weren't impressed.
