Hi, this might be in the wrong place mods, feel free to move it if so!
I have 6 pigs, girls in one cage, boys in another. I am considering adopting a 2 year Great Pyrenees (male). He's not the biggest pyr I've ever seen (might be a 'pocket' pyr, but not certain) and at the moment is chronically underweight, which is being treated. Does anyone have any experience of how this breed acts around guinea pigs?
Our home is open plan on the main floor, and the pigs are in the smaller sitting room near the front door. They have lived in that room pretty much all their lives. The layout means adding doors to the room would be very difficult and maybe impossible? We have no other pets, nor kids. The cages are large and have lids. My question is really about how this breed of dog might act around the cages when the piggies are moving around and wheeking - I would NOT be letting the dog interact directly with the pigs! The dog would have his own room for when we were out.
I want to make an informed decision about whether or not to adopt this dog, and the welfare of my piggies is the biggest part of that. He seems to be a sweet boy from the interaction I've had with him so far, but any advice in relation to this breed and piggies would be very welcome.
