Hypoallergenic Livestock Guardian Dog

Anybody know of a reasonable livestock guardian dog that is hypoallergenic?

Thanks,
Dan

Wikipedia has an interesting article on this: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoallergenic_dog_breed.

In general, if your allergies are so sensitive that an LGD outdoors is aggravating them, even the low dander breeds are going to bug you, I suspect.

Hello, Dan, did you ever find the dog you were looking for, or anything close? I would like an Anatolian shepherd but they're not hypoallergenic.

Nope. I found several useful livestock guardian dogs (LGDs) and several hypoallergenic dogs. Unfortunately, the intersection of the two groups is nada.

So, I'm considering livestock guardian llamas as an alternative.

I would love to hear how the llama works out if you get one! I considered it for a while but never pursued it. We actually just got an Anatolian puppy this weekend! He is mostly going to be for the chickens though so I may get another guardian for the goats. They do not seem too fond of the puppy so it might just be a llama...

I had no idea llamas would guard livestock! I'm looking for an animal that will protect my 12-pound terrier from eagles. (That may sound like an odd desire, but bald eagles do pick up dogs that size, and everyone's told me to get a larger companion dog.) I hope these animals will see my dog as a creature worthy of guarding. And perhaps we'll get chickens too. I had thought a Komondor, or Hungarian sheepdog, might be hypoallergenic, or at least moreso than other breeds (if one can be hypoallergenic by degrees).

Oh shoot. I just read that they're naturally aggressive toward dogs. That makes sense!
