Curt I get it. We adopted a young, feral Great Pyrenees about five years ago. We have a large dog yard with a 6 ft fence (jumps it with ease) and a kennel attached to the house but Cleopatra just doesn't want to be a pet. We bread her with my Golden with the hopes that would make her a home body but 7 weeks in, she tapped out. She has a job to do and she needs to free-range.
We bring her in every few months to clean up her wounds, cut out her mats and just love on her. After 3-4 months she needs to be free. One benefit is, no coyotes on the property. The peacocks love that.
