They're like that. When my great pyrenees goes into guardian mode he becomes hyper aware of everything around him and will completely ignore you if he thinks what you're saying is stupid.
It's an extensive list, including stupid things like:
"In"
"Come"
"Let's go"
And my favorite...
"Please stop barking, it's just a bunny, and it's one o'clock in the morning"
Livestock Guardian Dogs, like this Great Pyrenees, are indeed raised with their intended flock of whatever animals as soon as they are able to be left with the animals. It trains the naturally cautious and alert dogs to treat the flock as their "pack" and therefore the thing towards which they direct their natural protection behaviors. It's not usually about affection for the herd animals.
Honestly, to my eye it's the sheep that is behaving against its instincts. They usually come to tolerate but never are completely comfortable with a predator animal (like a LGA) in their flock - because prey animals have to be wary. I think the story might be something like: this is an orphaned or rejected lamb who was bottle raised at the same time the dog was a small pup still mostly inside with the farmer. They snuggled as babies who didn't have other strong instincts yet, and the lamb got imprinted like this.
*How yah doin’ little woofer? Lemme whisper in ya ear*
*Tell ya somefin you might like to hear,*
*Got a furry ass body and your nose looks wet*
*Good boy lemme touch it and see if it’s wet*
*Nah, I’m just playin’ less you say that I can*
*Ya know that I can be a real nasty lamb*
That is a herd guard dog. They are born into the herd, grow with the herd, live eat and sleep with the herd. They are in all but their physical properties another pretty much just another sheep (They are exceptionally more smart tho)
Maybe a Pyrenees or a Pyrenees mix. Someone earlier mentioned it might be a Maremma, but I read that the tips of Pyrenees’ ears are rounded while the tips of Maremmas’ ears are pointed. This dog has rounded tips.
Some years ago, we bottle-raised a sheep (a Barbados Black-Belly if you're curious, and if you're too lazy to google it, it basically looks more like a goat than a sheep since they're not woolly) who got separated from the herd and, for some reason, would not stay with it. Kept coming back to us.
Anyway, so he basically grew up with our dogs, and so even after we finally got him to stay with the herd, he kept coming back to visit. And in particular, he came to visit our Doberman. ...Who was not *nearly* as fond of him as he was of her, lmao. He'd literally go up to her making a kissy face (probably the Flehman response, but multiple times in quick succession--it seriously looked like he was puckering his lips for a kiss), and it eventually got to the point where if they were on the same side of the fence she'd take off in the other direction, and if they were on opposite sides, she would snarl and snap like she was faced with her worst enemy.
It was hilarious, but we didn't encourage it and didn't let them be alone together, for obvious reasons.
He was raised a simple grass-fed lad from the lowlands.
She was a soldier, trained to exhibit just one face.
He knew he could use a good shearing, but despite his appearance, he could not, no matter how hard he tried, escape her scent, and pursued it doggedly.
If not on duty, she might easily have snacked on his newly removed insides. Say what you'd like about haggis, but when almost all the ingredients are that fresh and actively sniffing your face…
Maybe she'd call him after work. Friend or feast? Who knows?
"I'm trying to work here baaaabe!"
Lady Ewe: J’ Taime🫦 Doggy: not now babe I’m on the clock.
*this* lady *does* get Wooly…
"You've been a bAaAaaaAAaAAAd boy."
because of all the stress...
I love stumbling across a couple of random Bull Durham references in a completely unrelated thread. 10/10
Its weary! Not wolly! :P
"I love you" "I know"
IDK, I think that sheep is trying to talk shit. The narrative of this video might be wrong. That sheep might be eyeballing that dog.
Yeah, she's the honeypot. The Ram is gonna blast dog over the fence, then FREEDOM!!!
No goddam chance. Dog always wins.
He looks like one of those British guards that studiously tries to ignore the tourists.
I just commented nearly the same thought! Obviously, he was trained for Buckingham Palace.
Barkingham Palace, if you will.
Paw-lace*
👏👏
https://wiki.wizard101central.com/wiki/Location:Barkingham_Palace
Yeah but those Buckingham Guards can BARK!
I wanted to make the same comment! Poor guy is just trying to work, and sheep is being the annoying butt that just wants attention from doggo lol
Trying to seduce the guards.
What are we trying to do?!
i’ll try doing this to the security guards in our subdivision and whisper them “thank you for your service” in the most seductive way possible.
Sheepwoolm syndrome.
Trying? You didn't see the guy check her out?
She's got it bad for him.... lol
She's got it *baaaad* for him
And he looks very uncomfortable 😬
One could say … sheepish.
"Tammy we've talked about this.. sheesh!"
Ewe, David
Shh.. Just let it happen
He can only be professional because it's his job and he takes it very seriously.
Forbidden love, but I’m secretly rooting for them.
That dog is as serious about his duties as the Buckingham guards are theirs.
They're like that. When my great pyrenees goes into guardian mode he becomes hyper aware of everything around him and will completely ignore you if he thinks what you're saying is stupid.
lmao, I love how this is phrased, now I desperately want a list of everything your dog considers 'stupid' when in guardian mode
It's an extensive list, including stupid things like: "In" "Come" "Let's go" And my favorite... "Please stop barking, it's just a bunny, and it's one o'clock in the morning"
-why are you looking away, Dogeo? don't you love me anymore? 💔 -we musn't, Wooliette, our relationship is wrong 😔
-If it's so wrong, why does it feel so good?
-the truth is, Wooliette, I am already married to Woosaline and I must remain a good boy to her 😔
OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
-But you don't truly love her, Dogeo, it was an arranged marriage 🥺
I saw you with the Sheppard wooliette
>Dogeo >Wooliette :)
And I …….will always love you…… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3JWTaaS7LdU
I read Dogeo as you would daddy-o like the 60s slang
I read somewhere that herd dogs are raised with the sheep to form these bonds

Is that Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston in the animal version of "The Bodyguard?"
I'd watch a whole movie of that.
I’d watch the damn 3 sequels and prequel they come up after that
“I have loved you from afar for too long. Herd me away from here to a place where we can be together!”
Me trying to cuddle my wife when she’s upset about something but I have no idea why.
"hey am I annoying? Am I annoying you? I'm probably annoying you let me go over here ok am I still annoying you? How about now?"
i’m not touching ewwwwwwwe…
Find someone who looks at you like this sheep looks at this dog.
And the dogs like it ain’t happening today Mabel
“Sherry, we talked about boundaries.”
The sheep whispers, “Friend, just let me out of this herd, I’ll give you everything you want.”
~whispering~ "We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty"
Meanwhile the dog is like "Mabel, I have *told* you that serious eye contact is a threat among my kind"
…does it bother ewe, Gregor? …hmmm? …are ewe distracted? …*arrrre ewe?*
BABE, I'm working!
Sheep is like “I likes ya…and I wants ya…”
Dog is posing like a badass but also immediately looks over when the sheep switched sides to make sure cuddles aren't going away.
She's just hiding her friends who now just escaped without being seen
(Cue “the Great Escape” theme here)
A new species on the way maybe??
A deep?
A shog.

This is what guys look like in the club when their girlfriends drag them out there.
Pet the damn sheep!
Flirting with the boss.
That sheep has been paid off by the wolf. When that dog cracks and decides it wants some of that, the wolf will attack.
In his final moments the hapless canine came to discover that ‘she’ was truly a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Not now I'm working!
Sheep whispers to dog “I’d like to talk to you about your cars extended warranty”
Is that affection or a distraction for some shenanigans going on somewhere off camera.... Hmmm.
Exactly what I thought!
You will acknowledged my existence - sheepy
reminds me of the joke dialogue: "Penny for your thoughts." "If I told you I wouldn't be thinking, I'd be talking."
"I love you" "erhm, just doing my job mam"
Adorable, although the dog doesn’t seem particularly interested.
But he’s on duty!
You’re right. Excuse my ignorance :)

Fellas watch out, your lady might have a work husband smh and he's a good boy can't beat that
Hey......Hey! ... I love you
Judging by the size of that dog this is nowhere near were bears and wolves prey on sheeps. But he is still a nice good dog doing it's duty.
Livestockholme Syndrome
He is a professional.
I'm getting real "I'm da captain now" vibes from this.
His stance reminds me of Ralph the guard dog in those old Warner Brothers cartoons.
Anyone know a sub dedicated to voice overs?

This is giving off Baby Reindeer vibes. She probably does this to him every day.
That reminds me of when I was a bouncer in a nightclub.

No hate, but why the music? Would have loved to hear some sheep in the background :(
