alpacas: [AlpacaTalk] Re: Great Pyrenees question(s)

Jim -- are they absolutely sure it was coyotes (did they see the attack)? I'm not doubting you, but a lot of folks assume coyotes when in fact it was feral dogs. Coyotes can attack new born animals but it's not normal for them to attack something so large, so I'm puzzled.

As you know, we don't live that far apart and the coyotes haven't come anywhere near the paddocks -- even before we got the guard dog.

Cheers,
