Ето една случка, разказана от една фермерка в САЩ, собственичка на КК:
Cindy Smiley Kolb: Jackie, I don't have a video, but I do have a great story to share! One early morning in April, Pirin and Gizda woke me up, making a terrible ruckus. Since the Karakachan LGDs only sound off when there is a problem, I knew that something was in their field where I have about 20 does and 40 kids. As I came to their pasture, they had pushed the does and doelings to the top of the hill and had moved them into a far corner. Both dogs were running as hard as they could to the top of the hill to check on them, and then back down to the edge of the woods, barking and snarling as they went. When I entered the pasture, they quickly came towards me, cutting off my path and trying to push me back through the gate. I fussed at them to let me in, but they kept pushing me backwards. About that time, I heard a loud bellow, and I thought that it was our bull. Maybe he had broken the fence down and crossed into their pasture. I managed to get past the dogs, but they kept cutting my legs off in front of me. He bellowed again, and the dogs went crazy, running back down to the edge of the woods. I followed, (just to have them both push me back when I ducked under the limbs of a white pine tree that were low to the ground). I fell down, and when I looked up, there was a huge, angry bear, with his head twisted down at the dogs. He was snapping his teeth, bellowing, and slobber was flying everywhere! Both dogs were trying their best to jump up and grab the bear. Gizda even lept up onto the back of Pirin to try and climb the tree. She is our smallest girl, and so agile! The dogs were so focused on the bear, it took everything that I had to grab them and pull them off of that tree. Once I had them backed up, the bear came down and ran off. He was huge! Not only did I have the majority of kids in this field, but I also had my honey bee hives located in it. I sent a text to my husband to tell him about the bear, and what did he send back? A text asking if I had taken a picture or a video to share with Atila and Sider! It would have been great to have one, but I felt like I was lucky to be alive at that point! None of the goats, their kids, or the honey bees had been harmed at all. I think that the Karakachan LGDs are worth their weight in gold!! I would never have any other type of guardian on our farm. We've had a couple more encounters with bears since then, but I believe the bears know that they are no match for a Karakachan Kuche!
