As for great pry, how old is it and was it trained to guard chickens. Unless trained with stock they are not reliable. If well trained they will die for their flock. I belong to a Facebook Akbash Dogs group. Groups exist for GPs as well. Members are knowledgeable and respond quickly.
Thank you, Barbara. She was given her own little apartment (not far from me -in order to check on her). Treated the wounds with a veterinary
spray, and gave her electrolyte water. Held her and petted her and talked to her til she was warm and comfortable and no longer in shock-she even fell asleep! Keeping an eye on her and waiting til she's 100 percent to go back to her fllock. The GP is fiercely loyal to his goats and people but was not trained to guard chickens and can not be trusted with them. This has happened on occasion in the past before they became mine but it didn't end well as no one was around to catch him in the act. The chickens sometimes wonder into his paddocks. Fortunately, as we have bonded, he dropped her on stern voice commands. Planning to get my own pups soon and train them to protect all the livestock.
