*Story Time*
It’s bedtime for big baby Bjorn 💤 he’s all tuckered out from arguing with a bobcat all night. He’s been on edge for days and he’s finally taking a very well deserved break, inside on the couch. Unfortunately he takes up the whole thing. It’s been a 3-4 day war with zero casualties. It’s absolutely incredible. This is a true livestock guardian dog, and he wasn’t trained to do it, he does it all instinctually. He’s a Great Pyrenees, Cane Corso cross, and you couldn’t ask for a better dog. We are just so blessed. I HIGHLY recommend this mix. I remember the day Alea saw him posted online. It was an old work friend of hers, and the first thing said was “are they good people?”, and she said theyre just like us, so that was good enough for me. We went to go pick out a puppy, and I got to meet the owners and the parents of Bjorn. That was the beginning of an amazing friendship and partnership. They’re some of the most amazing people we’ve gotten to work with through the buildup of our farmstead. The dogs they have are a reflection of them, like any good animal owner. Bear, Bjorns father, is one of the biggest dogs we’ve ever seen, substantially larger than a typical Great Pyrenees, and hes pure bred. Ive been around great danes, mastifs, dobermans, and lots of other large breeds, but Bear is amung the tallest and longest dogs Ive ever had the pleasure of meeting, with near great dane measurements. So if anyone is looking to pay for a stud, let us know and well get you in contact. Bear being as large as he is, was still very gentle, as it seems he actually knows how big he is. But hes a working man, and takes his job very serious. He makes it abundantly clear that hes the alpha, and he takes orders from mom, dad, and the kids, only. Brie, Bjorns mother, is a pure bred Cane Corso, the largest female Cane Corsos Ive ever seen in person, and she is just the sweetest thing. She’s queen bee of the doggies, and shes not afraid to show why the Cane Corso is one of the world’s most renowned guard dogs. The combination of the two made our giant gentle beast, appropriately named Bjorn. Hes still learning, but last night was a test, and he passed with flying colors. He chases off predators regularly, but now everyone is fenced in, along with him, so he had to stand there, and not pursue. He stayed vigilant and unrelenting, all night. It’s so strange to think about that goofy little puppy that was so uncoordinated, he couldn’t walk and wag his tale at the same time. Now hes as graceful as a butterfly, as agile as a cat, and has the reflexes of a mongoose, while hes working. All coming from a dog thats weighs as much as a full grown man. Though, during the day, if hes awake, he can still be pretty goofy and clumsy at times 😂 but I think he deserves a pass. We are just so blessed to have him and he’s completely changed the game fo us. We will be doing a video with him in the near future. Thank you everyone for your support, and comment below if you want more content with Bjorn!
(Side note: he’s on a chain in two pictures, but he’s usually roaming. He was only 10-11 months old back then and he kept snapping 1,500lb test cable, so we had to switch to a 2,500lb test chain. We don’like it either. We only put him on the run if it’s day time so he doesn’t jump the fence to get love from some poor unassuming stranger, just trying to walk or ride the trail. He’s not people aggressive whatsoever, because we went overboard with the socialization, and it worked a little too well. But we can’t chance him knocking someone over. He’s still just a pup and likes to jump up.)
