May I recommend a Great Pyrenees?  They don't eat nearly as much as you would 
think since they are HUGE, but they hate deer and coyotes and foxes with a 
passion and simply will not allow them anywhere near their chosen territory.  
We love ours and have not had a bite of deer damage in the orchard since he 
joined our family 4 years ago.
