Re: [Blackbelly] Anti coyote fence ideas
here's the really good home-spun solution I was thinking about. Two sizes of PVC pipe, and some strong wire. They don't show this, but I was thinking, you could maybe even attach bells or noise-makers to it. Coyote rolls it, makes alarm noise, dogs alerted. http://www.huskycamp.com/security.htm The only thing to consider is: PVC is meant to be installed under ground and does not do all that well with UV rays. It would take years, but eventually need replacing. http://www.jmeagle.com/pdfs/Technical%20Bulletins/TB10SunlightEffectsonPVC.pdf -Michael, Perino Ranch Blackbellies On Mon, May 12, 2014 at 1:41 PM, Elizabeth Radi wrote: > I saw a picture of this on facebook.

Re: [Blackbelly] Coyote fence ideas
Hi All, I have also heard that Llamas and burros make great flock guards. I luckily dont have any problems here in the desert, but if I did, I'd go with LGDs. Brenda Negri out of Winnemucca, NV breeds and raises some great LGDs. I have stopped by her place and talked with her. She raises her dogs in a social setting with sheep, miniature cows, and her other dogs. She would be a great source for dogs that would be stout enough for even the bigger coyotes in the east. Her website is: http://lgdnevada.com/ Steve www.ninemilesheep.com On 5/11/2014 6:00 AM, Elizabeth Radi wrote: Michael. we have a male and a female team. The female is spayed, and the male is whole, but he is not used for breeding, although many have asked to use him. We got him at 8 months old, and he would not go into buildings or vehicles, that is why he was not neutered. He was raised with alpacas, and his parents showed him the ropes, they were good dogs. These LGD mature around 2 years old. I would not trust them with babies until after that time. And they know what they are supposed to do. Just because a LGD is a guardian breed, does not mean that it will be a good guard dog. Just like, a female has a uterus, does not mean she will automatically be a good mother.

Re: [Blackbelly] Anti coyote fence ideas
Yes, I just cut a slit in the pipe lengthwise and slid it over the top rail or the top of the wire mesh fence. It works even better if you can suspend it just above the fence top where it can roll, but you have to make sure it can't be pushed up and the animal climb underneath it.

IMO you are always best with a puppy especially if you already have a guardian to help teach the pup its job.
