I have seen videos of packs of Alanos working well together with stock. Turning on and off at command for various tasks. Though I would say without a job I bet the heathens would be a handful, as any high drive dog would be. http://retrieverman.wordpress.com/2011/06/25/pyrenean-wolf-hounds/ There are several "reference" paintings that suggest the mountain dog as a hunter as well. Many old hunting pack paintings have one or two "furries" in the pack.
