Get a Great Pyrenees they are great dogs but very intimindating-ours would just walk up and look in the vehicle window lol. If your native folks are like ours they are scared of most any dog.

Good advice Northern Rancher. Our Great Pyrenees intimidates anyone and everyone, although she’s both loving and harmless. Bikers on the way to and from the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally don’t know she’s not dangerous and, since she loves to chase any motor vehicle, we don’t have to worry about any scum-of-the-earth bikers getting too close to our place.

We really don’t know what she’d do with a biker if she caught one, but it probably won’t be too long before we find out.

PS – she doesn’t seem to care for GF&P employees, which says much about her taste, but she just loves “native Americans”, although for the most part, they’re scared to death of her.

Ours were death on coyotes too-I actually watched them get one while out riding one day-if they kept running they'd chase them to the fenceline but this one pulled a 'custer' and made a stand. FATAL MISTAKE!!!!

Yeah, Miss Lilly, not all bikers are scum. We've got some very good friends who bike out to South Dakota to attend the rally that are wonderful folks, including my nephew's father-in-law who is a member of the National Security Council. That said, there are some who literally are no good, dirty, rotten scum that should be locked away from the general public and those are the kind of folks we don't care to have drop in unannounced. And with old Snowball around, they dang sure aren't going to sneak in without us knowing it.

One of our sons lives about five miles outside of Sturgis and had to “escort” an outlaw biker from his premises that he caught trying to break into his house in the middle of the night. The leather clad biker was escorted screaming down our son’s long driveway on the pointy end of an eight inch blade jabbed into his ample rear end every time he slowed down.

Our son now owns a Great Pyrenees and is looking forward to biker season.

guard dogs--we just go for sheer numbers, rather than any particular fierceness. Wink
We're up to five, and the weiner dog is probably the most vicious of all of them...

The whole zoo is pretty mild when we're around to tell 'em to "shut up!" But we've had friends tell us they stopped by to drop stuff off when we're gone and the dogs won't let them get out.
Our female BC, who is so gentle she lets kids hang off her ears, can really look menacing when her hackles are up...

Jessie~ For an all round ranch dog, my first choice would be an Airedale! Second choice is an Australian Shepherd with some bite.

Jessie, it doesn't matter what the dog is. It's how it is handled....I've seen kickass chauwalwasSP and german shepards that were spineless. It's just what fits your household. Check the pound out....
