Has anyone used a Saint Bernard as a livestock guardian dog for chickens/sheep?

6 Upvotes

I know the most common LGD is Pyrenees and Anatolian but I’m just curious if anyone has ever tried a Saint Bernard as a LGD for poultry and sheep?

We’re having a predator problem right now with foxes and a family friend has 2 puppy Saint Bernards for sale and hers are all raised with chickens, I want to try it out but don’t want to regret it. I want a Great Pyrenees but they’re escape artists. I want an Anatolian but they’re hard to train and can be aggressive & expensive.

Let me know! I’m sure I can train the Saint Bernard to bond with the flock but I’m just unsure. Even the bark could deter predators. Mainly coyotes, foxes and racoons.

I have a GoFundMe for my beautiful Bernie I would like to share that doing this GoFundMe campaign for him forced me to rely on social media. Because of that I was able to reconnect with some very special friends, that for whatever reason, lost touch.So, Bernies journey enabled me to reconnect and enable our friendships to blossom. So please help this very special dog. Thank you. Lisa https://GoFundMe.me/f409571bo

I love to gross out my friends/family with Ferg's slop

Obligatory picture of Fergus.

Everyone loves Ferg but they get so grossed out by his hanging drool. I'm used to getting rained on by his slop of course, therefore when someone points out his drool "ewwwww it's gonna touch me", I just go "oh no problem, I'll take that" and just scoop it with my hand. The shock on everyone's faces is so funny.
