These were Great Pyrenees and Marrema (sic). We probably had 2 dozen over the years. The training consists of having them with the animals they are to bond with. All were exemplary being basically goats with teeth and claws. The goats acted like the dogs were one of them.

All but one, Paddy, he was scared of everything thing. So our dogs were about 96% true to their breeds.
