Comment by Denny Johnson on February 15, 2012 at 1:13pm: Since I first posted we have already seen a great improvement. We let her out of her kennel and she stay with us when we are outside. We keep her on the front porch by blocking her in and she really loves being close to us that way. She could easily jump the gate but hasn't yet. Keeping her indoors isn't going to happen as they shed so bad. It's only been a week now and we really have a keeper. She is a great dog and very very loving. She gets along great with our little house dog and loves the grandchildren. We have already seen her get into protection mode when other dogs try to come on the property or when she hears the kids scream when playing. Her ears perk up and she runs to check on the kids. We just love her. Thanks for the comments.

Comment by Denny Johnson on February 9, 2012 at 12:07pm: We just moved to the Ozarks about 7 months ago and have heard the coyotes howling frequently around our acreage. This week we bought a purebred Pyrenees pup that's about 9 months old. What a beauty. She is in heat at the moment, but we put up a 10' x 30' kennel for her to live in while we train her. It sure will be nice to someday just let her go free on the property. Can you train them to stay within the boundaries easily? We understand that they are quite independent and go where they want to. My thoughts are to get a couple of young goats or sheep to put in the kennel with her until they get accustomed to each other and the let them out during the day to forage off the land and put them back in at night. Any ideas of what would work the best until she feels like this is really home? Thanks.

Comment by Carlos B. on October 30, 2010 at 4:42pm: Our baby prefers the city life, but she complements our cabin life when we are there.

Comment by Carol Mockler on July 26, 2010 at 8:41pm: We have a Leavitt bulldog (aka Olde English Bulldogge), an American bulldog and a mastiff puppy, and they all love to go to the cabin. When they see us packing the vehicle, they get all excited. (I tried to upload their pictures but it's not working. I get the file information but the picture doesn't come through. I'm not that computer-savvy.)

Comment by Lon & Anne on April 12, 2010 at 10:05pm: Our daughter and son in law brought the well trained 2yr old lab. called Tucker to our cabin. Clayt , Invited another friend to day trip on the Trail near Robinsville NC with Tucker, they got wet in that front that moved through the area last Thursday ! all ended well. I am sure Tucker will be a part of Bearadise .
