Remember Bear? He’s been hard at work!
Great Pyrenees have been protecting livestock for hundreds of years. Unlike herding dogs, they’re bred to live alongside the animals they guard, staying calm, patient, and always aware of what’s happening around them.
At Hopewell, Bear spends his days (and nights) watching over our chicken flock. He’s always listening, always paying attention, and always ready to let predators know they’re not welcome.
He may look like a fluffy white cloud, but don’t let that fool you his instincts, size, and steady temperament make him an incredible livestock guardian.
We’re grateful to have Bear on patrol and doing exactly what Great Pyrenees do best: protecting the flock.
Have you met Bear during your visit to the farm? 🐓
