I would look into a guardian or herding breed such as a Great Pyrenees or other type of shepherd. Often, these dogs are bred to spend their entire time guarding flocks with little human interaction, and do well living outdoors among the herd. Speaking with local breeders in your area that raising working stock may help you get a better idea about these dogs and see if they are right for you.
