She is to be the guard dog for our home and other animals. Her herd will be 2 cats 3 small dogs, 1 medium size dog and 2 humans my Mom and me. My Mom is home most days and works in the yard, and my Mal who was our guard dog we lost labor day weekend keep a great watch on her and helped her. She also has a strange for of virtago and Mal would keep her from falling and when we meet Neese's mom she did the same thing that our Mal did so we knew then that the Great Pyr was for us. The correct spelling of Neese is with an s not a c. I took it from Pyrenees.
