Our labs are getting older and we want a new dog. I have been doing a lot of research and found that a great pyrenees would really work out well for us. The problem is fencing. Our labs have always used invisible fencing. I like it because I can run it around the horses paddocks and other areas more easily. (I used to have a horse who would try and kill dogs, so not an issue now but I prefer to limit dogs in pastures) We do have a fair amount of road frontage and 8 acres out back. I have been told by many people that this breed does not do well with invisible fencing. Yet some others have said it could work.
I was wondering if I could do a combination of fencing. Along the road put in normal rail fencing with a mesh at the bottom half to keep in dog and chickens. Then on the sides and back use electric. The sides and back are all stone walls, brush and trees and surrounded by 500+ acres of woodlands. So it is not like an open area. A lot of parts a large animal would not even try to go through, or even get through. Anyone with experience with this breed have thoughts on this?

The breed is one of the most beautiful, and one of my favorites but they require a ton of hands on training to ensure they listen.
