Knew a guy who had a couple hundred Boer goats. He ran GP with them. Even HE had to feed the dogs out of his truck. He had to separate the dogs out to work the goats! LOL!
They are beautiful, loving dogs. My wife rescued two. The last died about 2 years ago.
Does anybody know the trait sought after in the Great Pyrenees breed?

99,
Actually donkeys work very well as protection against coyotes. But beware that donkeys sometimes bite the heads off goat kids and lambs. When I was a kid we had a very protective horse that killed a few things by stomping them, including a snake.
To answer the question it stands for Great Pyrenees. If you raise GPs with a herd of goats they think they are a goat, and become very protective of the herd.

M.A.T, you're correct about donkeys working well but there is another guard animal that protects against coyotes that nobody mention yet.
This animal is instinctively alert and aware of their surroundings, and may draw attention to an intruder by making a startling alarm call that sounds like a rusty hinge. They may walk or run toward an intruder and chase, paw at, or kick it.
This guard animal has been known to kill predators (such as coyotes).
Watch this short video link below and see this animal in action while protecting the sheep herd and defending off a coyote.
