Each herder will have 1-2 border collies and a few Great Pyrenees guard dogs. These dogs live with the sheep every hour of every day and the stories of them protecting the herd from predators and other animals (like bighorn sheep) are endless. But still, last year the sheep herd lost 100 lambs to coyotes in the early summer months.
