'Cooper' heads for the U.P.

Last summer one of our 'started' female Great Pyrenees LGD's "Kate' headed to the U.P. of Michigan to guard some Shetland's and Targhee's from the "local" predators up there. Her new owners knew that eventually with coyotes, bobcat, bear, and wolves in the area they would need a 2nd dog to assist 'Katie'. Well, Sunday morning I recieved an email from her owners that Katie had single handily kept out some type of canine invasion, but they were affraid that the 'pack' would be back.
So we made arrrangements that they would make a trip below the 'bridge' on Monday to pick up 'Cooper' a 8 month old Pyrenees male that was being mentored by Kate's sister (Jeni) and Kate's dam (Zora).
I got an email on Tuesday morning that Kate was "in heaven" to have a buddy, and this is the same pup that she started to break in last summer before she moved to the U.P.
We hope Katie and Cooper have a great life in the U.P. and that their owners can now rest peacefully at night knowing they've got two dogs to watch over their flock.
