Sassy and Moses sound wonderful as do the Guinea fowl..I just said to my husband that this is what we need but I think my Golden might think that they are lunch, but worth training her to leave them alone. How many do you have? We have lots of ticks here in SW Nova Scotia..not so many in our fenced backyard where we keep the grass short but I am sure they don't completely avoid it. When we had Toby, our Pyr, he was a sitting duck for these awful creatures and we always missed one deep in his huge ruff, we were always so mad with ourselves when we did.

Amy,

I live on a 200+ acre farm and have two wonderful Pyrs,Sassy     &    Moses   who bark most of the night, most nights.  I have come to love it as it represents their contribution to keeping the varmits at bay and our family of poultry safe and secure.  Our nearest neighbors are between a quarter and half a mile away so our "kids" are not causing them any loss of sleep.  

 

The guineas work tirelessly to keep us tick free and the Pyrs work to care for us all.

 

All is well on "Hills of Home" as long as the Pyrs are carrying on and partying down during the dark hours.
