OTTER FREE ZONE!
Great Pyrenees livestock guard dogs don't tolerate otters well - if at all....
A few years ago we had otter evidencee with half eaten fish on the pond bank and son Jeff had seen what he believed to be an otter at our small pond.
Brutus came in from the pond area one evening with his face all bloodied up - no more sign of otters EVER.
Betcha they would do a number on beaver as well.
