] missing sheep
In my experience, disappearance like that is usually cougar. Though I've
had this happen with ducks via coyote. The lambs I lost to cougar were
rarely found, and if so, were buried. Only wildlife that has damaged my
fencing is bears. The others just hop over or under.

Good luck with your pups Mary. I have two llamas and a Pyr. None of the

zero socialization to people so won't come into the night yard. I should
have left her in the night yard on drag for longer. I will tranquilized
her at some
Tracy,
Thanks for your good wishes!
The man who is selling me the male Anatolian said he puts a bell on
his guardian dogs. That way the sheep get to know the bell and have
some sense of comfort as the guardian dog moves around. Also, the
owner can tell what is going on during the night by
