>>18840180dogs were a better choice than beats for many reasons and I will share my experience with dogs while living off grid out on a ranch in the middle of nowhere
> never picked up their poop, in an environment where they have wilderness to roam, they naturally poop far away from your habitat > noise not a problem, at night I watched my dogs barks and howls scare away entire packs of coyotes from coming near my herd and property, the sound of their barks is not bothersome at all when you have that much space and the echo it makes sounds really cool > no fear, protected my herd and my family at all times, attacked a bobcat that was creeping up on my chickens and destroyed it, bobcat ran away, created a barrier and kept coyotes away from my free range chickens every night> protected my children from a stray pit bull running at them outisixe, attacked the shit out of the pitbull which ran away > didn’t barely have to feed them, they caught birds and varmints outside all day long and ate them, they could completely feed themselves if needed, > alert system, they constantly roamed a one mile radius around me at all times anywhere I hiked and alerted me of any person approaching within miles, before I could get out binoculars and see another hiker 2 miles away, my dogs already alerted me that they were there. > don’t have to clean.. they swam in rivers and creeks and came out clean all the time, slept outside anywhere, and were always naturally shiny and clean in that wilderness environment > snuffed out dangerous creatures, constantly sniffed out and dug and killed snakes and bugs near on my entire property Living out there for years changed my perspective, I can’t say enough good things about them
