@bluerthangreen, I can totally relate to this! We have a homestead far out in the Ozarks, and have had to adopt-out dogs that we'd hoped would mesh with all of the other animals on our farm. (Free-range chickens, cat, other dogs, pigs). But they couldn't, and that's crucial for a harmonious homestead. It was a hard decision, but we made sure they went to good homes. We also bred our Anatolian and Pyrenees, and I'll tell you, finding those puppies a new home was the hardest thing ever! Not because we couldn't find great people, but because I didn't want to let any of them go! I mean, look at them!

Here are two of our guardians:
Heathen (Pure Anatolian)

And Freya (Pyrenees/Anatolian mix)

And their son, Two-Face/Harvey Dent. (Who we did keep, despite my protesting wife!)
