  • Tiago, no, not really. We do have working LGDs in Norway (but not many), mostly Pyreneans and Maremmas...and 2 Tatra dogs I think. No dog has died in battle but there've been injuries. Some predators were killed by the dogs. They have proven themselves as very good LGDs and the loss of livestock has been reduced in many areas. But I agree with you, it's not easy to use LGDs in Norway. They have to be very mild tempered to humans, strangers included, but fierce against predators. Another problem is that we are not used to LGDs here, so ppl don't know how to behave. They expect the dogs to be teddybears and many tourists and trekkers would not hesitate to approach a flock of sheep guarded by dogs.....
