I NEEDADVICE!! I am glad to find you guys. Can someone give advice? Our dear Napoleon is 11 yrs old and has developed a limp in his front legs. We had blood tests done and he is in great shape there. The vet put him on Deramaxx for pain but I'm not sure if it is safe or what else we might use. Anyone have suggestions? He is a GREAT old man and we just want him to be as happy and comfortable as he can be as he lives his life out as the champion of the neighborhood and lord over all. lol Seriously, he is such a great dog and I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

I have a wonderful 5 month old pup, was rescued from southern Missouri by good intending young folks that thought they would keep two pups for watching live stock (sheep)&(horses).They were too much for them and my pup got put in the barn to live with the horses. He came to me frightened and cold, and full of parasites inside and out.Please give me any tips you may feel important, if you have the time ? I have worked with Police dogs as my partner,I am not a policeman anymore,I now have another GREAT PARTNER now, I want to make his life worth living again ''' Thank you for any help you may offer !!! Your web site is GREAT !!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN S.J.B. & My New Partner "YOGI" e-mail me any time.

HELP! This past weekend was the saddest weekend my daughter and I have ever had. I am looking for any comments or advise...Here's what happened! My daughter has wanted a Great Pyreneese for years. Although I have heard the "stories" of puppies bought in pet stores...when seeing this beautiful 12 week pyr pup with badger markings on the face, I knew this was the dog for us. We already have a beagle and a toy poodle and I have raised dogs all my life...years ago breeding golden retrievers and later shetland sheep dogs, ect.... On day two, I noticed, Sebastian was limping...back right leg. We hired "Pet Pals" to come by once a day and check on the pup, feed, walk, ect...play with his brothers....Kristen then came home from school 3:30....in one week, he is almost crate trained, is taken commands, is learning how to interact with the smaller dominat dog. Simon the Great (poodle 10 pounds) I made an appointment with out Vet for my first day off...this past Saturday our Vet told us that his limp is due to a "Varus Deformity" in his 2nd and 3rd digits on the back right paw....these two "toes", he does not use, they grew incorrectly and just flop around...visibly he limps and sometimes alot less if he uses the leg by trying to run with the other dogs, ect...he uses the back leg to go up the stairs but never to come down. Considering we only had a two week window to return the dog, I have relunctantly done so hoping and praying for more answers to this condition. He is a beautiful pyr pup with a great disposition, very patient and very smart...the vet is considered in the long run because this is a large breed dog....possible lameness or arthritis as a result of not fully using this back foot.... HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THIS OR SEEN THIS...COULD IT SELF CORRECT OR IT IS TOO LATE FOR THAT? Yes, the pup came from a puppy mill I'm sure considering the owner is in Arkansas and the puppy was born in Missouri....if it's congential, that would mean from birthday or a calcium deficiency, or grew up too long in a crate, not walking on it, ect....the vet can't say if it is genetics or congenital but I am leaning to the latter because of the bad conditions some of these puppy mill breeders raise dogs in.... With more information, I will consider bringing Sebastian back home...the pet store charged 1000.00 for this pup...I lost hundreds of dollars already purchase in supplies, food, ect and this last week has been like a year.....if this pup can't come home, I am looking for another puppy....I certainly won't buy from this pet store again...the heartache is immense and we just can't put his crate away. Thanks for the feedback!

Shepherd my 9 week old Pyr just had his offical homecoming this weekend. Shep has proudly accepted the assignment, not to ever try or want to replace his older brother, Travis who at 10 years of age said goodbye to us May 1, 2004. I have a question for any of you more "breed experts". Travis, while born on a quarter horse ranch in Burleson Texas, was confined with his other litter mates to a professional breeders kennel environment. Certainly puppies received many times of supervised freedom from their housing. Shepherd, also born on ranch, this one in South Irving. Fun for me as I was allowed to visit the ranch daily if desired and schedule permitted. Great experience...although hard to leave the other little guys as I bonded with each of them too. These puppies, unlike Travis, were originally sheltered in the goat fenced in area with dimensions of approximately 40 X 40 feet. But right around 4-5 weeks of age, the gates were opened and the puppies and mom had full access to the entire 116 acres. In just the first day, I can already tell some of the difference in how Shepherd is initially adjusting. He tends to bite a little more, I think due to having 7 litter mates versus Travis only had 1 litter mate, a female. But also, in his anxiety to his crate. (bigger than Travis' 48ft long and at least 3 - 4 feet tall.) But he hasn't been even in a pen for 6 weeks, much less a crate. His potty training is literally non existent...he has not had even one accident yet and is very sweet and loving. I just need to hear back from some of you as to if I am doing the right thing to continue to use crate for initial training. Believe me, the only time he is in the crate is if I have to leave for a quick errand. How do I take some of the "ranch" out of my little guy or do I even need to. Thanks look forward to joining your little group. Lois And Shepherd

Last week we lost our 3 yr old female pyr, Bailey, to stomach bloat. She was fine when she went to bed at 10:00 and by 4:30am we had to rush her to the emergency clinic. They performed the surgery and her condition was so bad she didnt make it. It all happened so fast we couldnt believe it. Our 4 yr old male, Kegger, is lost without her. He wont eat, he mopes and wanders around looking for her. Any suggestions on how to help him through this hard time? Will he "snap out of it"? It breaks our hearts to see him looking so sad. Thanks for your help!

Ben our 6 year old GP was from an abusive home. We took him from a family that kept him on a 4 foot chain on their back porch. He is the most loving dog-man that we have ever had. He is attentive and watchful of my father who has Alzheimers and lives with us. He knows when dad is getting into something he shouldn't and alerts us; even watches over him at night. He is better than the baby monitor.

I have a 5 year old female spayed Pyr that was brought into our Rescue program because she had been attacking the family's other dog. In the three weeks she's been with us, she has attacked 4 other dogs without provacation and had acted threatening towards myself and my daugher. The rescue group is struggling with what to do with her, and may put her down. Does anyone out there have any ideas on if and how this behavior can be corrected? When she's good she's a sweetie, but when she's bad she's bad without any warning at all. Please help with any suggestions so she can be saved. Thanks

We have a 6 month old female Great Pyreneese named Bailey. We bought her to guard our 20 sheep and 7 goats on our 50 acres. She is doing a wonderful job, but I need some advice on her JUMPING!!! She jumps all over us when we enter the sheep pen, and it is becoming quite a problem now that she is getting so big!!! We are hoping that this is just the "puppy" in her and she will outgrow it, but in the meantime, does anyone have any advice on getting her to stay down?!?! Thanks!!!! ~Laurie

I have a 10 mo. old female Pyr in need of a good home. She is WONDERFUL inside and outside of the home. She does like to bark and protect her surroundings (more so in the daytime) and only outside. She is potty trained as well. She is wonderful with children and cats. I would love for someone to adopt her with a farm or some kind of land where she can roam and protect in that I think she would be wonderful with this. She is the sweetest thing ever. She would make a wonderful addition to your family!! Anyone interested? You may also email me at legaleagle704536@msn.com. I live in the Colorado Springs, CO area. Hannah's owner!!

It's always fun to read this site. I have 6 pyr's on our farm. One lives in the house with us. I received her back after a couple had her for 2 years and no longer could keep her. I had a different one in the house but she decided to kick her out. So my replacement female sleeps out on the deck or on our front step. My biggest baby that I had bottle feed, did crp on 3 times as a puppy, and after being hit by a combine 2 years ago, that paralyzed his back half and doing physical therapy 4 times a day for 6 weeks on him. I was able to get him to walk again in which no vet said he would,was killed in the line of duty by cyotes this spring. I miss him very much. Even though he couldn't wag his tail, his eyes and nugging would always tell me how happy he was to see you. Of course I had to order a little stone from abby press for him. I think my husband thinks I think more of the dogs than him. I agree that people in town need to learn about the breed. You can train them not to bark at night, it takes time. The Potty training comes with time and all of a sudden they will stop doing it in the house. I have had the same problem. I have trained a lot of them. I love my Pry's. Some nights are trying when I'm trying to sleep but when they are on a rampage I know I need to go check things out because it means that there is some wrong and sure enough there is.

Help! My only male(neutered) pyr is attacking and killing my new boer goat kids! we've had him for 1.5 years.He has not shown any aggression toward any goats before except toward newborn kids,which I intercepted with no incident. This only happened once about six months ago. Yesterday whenI came home I found a doe which had kidded twins, and one of the kids was litterally decapitated and missing limbs.The pyr did it as witnessed by neighbors,but they were too afraid to do something. The dog has been moved to the buck pen, but I'm heartsick! Is there any rehabilitation, or is it hopeless. He's a great dog in every other way,even to our 6 year old Down's Syndrome boy.I now have a doe/kid pasture without a good protector.Has anyone heard of this sudden aggression towards newborn kids? Help!

STILL NEED HELP!!! I have had my male Pyr for a month now and he is still using the bathroom in the house. I have him in a routine and it is not helping. He is being crate trained and he does not potty in his crate. Weekends are really bad. This past Saturday, he used the bathroom 14 times in the house! He does not sniff around or look like he needs to go out, he just walks around and all of sudden starts using the bathroom. I take him out at 5:30am from his crate, I walk him, play with him, feed him, take him out again, play with him, and then put him up. When I get home from work, I take him out, play with him, walk him, play, play, play, take him out, but he still uses the bathroom in the house. ANY HELP??????

We have tried all of the shelters with no luck. We own a farm just south of Olathe, Ks. She will have plenty of attention and cattle to herd and we have 4 granddaughters to love her not to mention her biggest playmate, our male -King Tut. PLEASE if anyone has a female for adoption, let us know - we really miss her and so does her brother!

This is a wonderfull place to come and come again! Bravo to the PyrNet team for a highly informative an fun site on Pyrs. Zacky, our 10 months old Pyr comes from a good breeder. We experienced some shewing and/or other "problems" now and there but Zacky is a fast learning guy! He is the star of the little dead-end street where our house is. Among a dozen houses, more than half have one or several dogs as residents. One house has 4 dogs, all of them rescued from previous really bad owners or shelters. A great environment for socializing... Again thanks for sharing your love and expertise about Pyrs.

I haven't been to the site in some time. We have two Great Pyrenees, one from a farm where his parents guarded livestock, and we rescued the female from a home in which she was left outside with little human attention in a residential neighborhood. She required plenty of clean-up and medical attention, as well as some behavioral training to work on her barking(mostly controlling the environment and introducing acknowledging voice and hand gestures so she knew we were aware of her warning). So many posts on this site clearly show that the humans who brought the Great Pyrenees into their lives did not do their homework on the breed. As adults, these dogs are very large, very intelligent and expressive, bred to think independently, to warn and to guard. They are also very loyal and loving when humans understand their nature and work with it rather than demand the dogs be different than they were bred to be. Please, before you go buying those cute white baby seal-like puppies, go to a bookstore and read about the breed.

PLEASE HELP!!!!! We bought our first Pir this past Feb. She is now 8 months old. Her name is Hannah!! I love her to death and she is the sweetest thing ever, but I am having a REAL problem with her barking. I have a huge fenced back yard with a lot of landscaping so she has plenty of room to play, etc. She also has a companion back there (my pit if you can believe that) Unfortunately I have had to try a shock collar which worked for a couple weeks but not now. I do not want to do a muzzle b/c of the panting drinking water, etc. I am going crazy with the barking and I am sur my neighbrs are too. She seems to listen to my husband by voice but pretty much laughs at me when I scold her. Is there anything else we can try???? I am afraid we wil have tp put her up for adoption if she does not stop - I cannot keep her in the house ALL THE TIME, especially since I am expecting my second child in November. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!

How often should a pyrennes puppy (8 wks) be fed? I want to feed regularly such as morning and evening rather than let food out to get her outside for bowel movements after each feeding to avoid them in the house. Other than that Daphne is a wonderful dog and we are glad we got her.

NEED ADVICE / HELP!!! We have an 8 week old male pyr and he is the greatest puppy ever! I signed this guest book a week ago about growling and got some responses that really helped. Thank you! Now, I would like some advice on house breaking him. I have done research on Pyr's for a year and have always read how easy they are to house break. I guess our Pyr is special, b/c he is not easy to house break. We have a routine going for him, which he does really well with, but it's the in-between the routine he has problems with. It is also difficult to "read" him when he needs to potty. He can be walking down the hall and all of a sudden, he starts using the bathroom! When he does it almost 6 times in a one hour time span, it starts to get frustrating. After he goes outside we always give him a treat. He has even learned to sit and shake before he gets his treats. Very smart, just needs a little help with the house breaking part. Thanks for your help!!!

My husband and I just bought a 7 week old Pyr and he is the cutest "little" thing. We have a 16 week old white lab in the house along with a white Himilayan cat. I have researched Pyr's for almost a year and have always read how great their temperment is. The other night both dogs were playing with one bone (taking it away from each other and tug-o-war, etc.) and at one point the Pyr growled really mean to the lab. Also, one more when "fussing" at the two for chewing on a plant, the Pyr growled at my husband. Is this normal? What can we do to control this growling and not be afraid he is going to bite one of us or the other animals. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Saturday August 14th was the worst day of my life. I had to bury my best friend Lily. She was only 5 years old. Cause of death is unknown. I couldn't financially afford to have her examined to determine how she died. How does a healthy 5 year old dog go from being fine to dead in 12 hours??? Something is missing from my life. It feels strange to not see those big brown eyes when I return from work everday. What a horrible experience to come home from picking up my 3 daughters & finding her dead. I had to diga grave large enough for a human being. We placed lillies on her before we burried her. My kids painted the large rock I found while digging her grave. They wrote her name, date of birth, & day of death on it. It now is her tombstone. It's been almost 2 weeks & I still feel like I'm dreaming. All of you please go & give your Pyr a big hug for me & my girls & think of Lily. You will regret it when its too late.

We adopted what we think is almost surely a purebred GP recently.(sure looks like one) We have always had samoyeds. "Sweetie," is somewhere between 1 and 2 years old by the looks of her teeth. The humane society said that she was dropped off into a no questions asked kennel during the night so we have no info. She exhibits some behavior that indicates that she was possibly beaten. She loves us, but is very nervous around strangers especially men, and small children. She has snapped at my three small neices and nephews four times. Any one have any suggestions as how to help her learn to trust men again? She is very anxious when a man has anything in his hand such as a walking stick or fishing pole. We love her, but are not looking forward to keeping her isolated from every strange man and small child she comes in contact with for the rest of her life time. We are doing obedience class, she is fine with women, and most men, but since we can not be sure how she will react with some men and small children we feel compelled to keep her away from them until we come up with a solution. This is inconvenient because, we live next door to the kids and are used to having unlimited visiting back and forth with them and this is cramping our family visits. We are not the type of people to give up on "Sweetie," so any advice would help. Betty Gardner Idaho

we took in a 2yr old male, spayed GP. gentle giant. we had him since last oct. Gave him a month a ago to a family who wanted him, he really needed more attention and love and time to train, very smart dog. But he is off roaming the area, they really obviously did not want him and i explained about going and getting him so he would know where his home......etc...So if anyone in this part of the country wants a GP. please email us.

We are the proud owners of a 3-year-old female Pyr. We could not have asked for a better addition to our family of 2 cats! We got her when she was 8 weeks old and weighed 5 pounds; she now weighs 85 pounds. She has also been great to train! Valedictorian of her classes!! Calm, gentle, loving and protective of us. She is an inside dog; we had very little trouble house-breaking her. This year we had her trimmed; it has helped immensely with the shedding (which is my only complaint). We are thinking of getting another one next year; we can't bear to think of life without her! What a great companion!

I have been fortunate to have owned seven pyrs since 1985.I got our 1st one when my children were 6 & 4 yrs. old. Ivan worked cattle with me & guarded the children & the chickens Ivan saved a man's life against a 2300 lb. bull and put himself between a new puppy and a stampede of cattle, no harm to him. He went with me to the cattle lease & kept the cattle at bay while I poured out feed. He found our lost newborn calves when I couldn't find them on horseback. He followed me on the tractor or me and/or the kids on horseback. because of him I have had six more pyrs. My new one Anna has made a great house dog and companion. I am expecting grandchildren soon & can't wait to introduce Anna (5mos) and Silver to them.I rescued Silver from an abusive owner 3 yrs. ago. He has never been agressive towards me, children or strangers even though I saw him bite his owner. He is my outside pyr, that comes in the house sometimes. He is very social on outings to the beach and parks, making a point to greet every child we meet. These pyrs are such gentle giants. They are great with children. They do dig huge pits to stay cool, so they are best suited for the country unless you don't mind the dog digging up your whole yard. They can be raised in the house if someone is usually home. Keep lots of rawhide (large) bones and lots of toys in a basket.Don't leave anything out that you want to keep (shoes,etc.) they assume anything left out is their toy. I have had a lot of experience with pyrs. I can probably answer any questions you might have. Find out all about pyrs and talk to other owners before getting one. They are the most beautiful puppies in the world, but remember they grow to be very large and need a lot of attention to grooming.

We have acquired a GP to replace our aging Anatolian Shepherd to used as a guardian for our sheep. The only problem is that the GP has never made it outside as we have enjoyed him too much in the house. He is housebroken and learning basic obedience commands very quickly. I would like some advice from anyone regarding how much shedding is typical and how is it controlled; at this point he is not a barker, when does this start; any other suggestions for maintaining a Pyr in the house. My husband and I are not new to the world of dogs, only new to this particular breed. Any information would be greatly appreciated

I have one more question - My 1 1/2 yr. old male Pry is not nutered and thats because my parents won't allow it. They think it will hurt him and make him act different. I've also heard that putting a large dog like that to sleep for a surgery is not good. Anyone else with this problem?? HELP!!!

I adopted a 5 year old female Pyranese last week. She is very sweet and mellow. I am struggling with housetraining also and would appreciate suggestions. Also, should Pyranese be groomed or shaved for the summer? She is mainly in the house and I worry about her getting too hot.

We just adopted a 2 year old Pyr from the vet on Friday. We have given her a bath and have been brushing her all weekend. Still alot of mats in the back end. We have found alot of ticks some huge and ready to fall off. She doesnt seem to mind at all but I am starting to wonder if we will ever get all of the ticks off and hair brushed out. She seems to have been an inside dog and well housebroken. but the ticks have left sores on her skin. Any suggestions We would appreciate. Thank you

8 week old male pyr puppy. Have only had him one week. He gets along great with our corgi, but we found out last Monday our corgi has hip dysplasha in both hips. I would prefer at this time to only have one dog. Since we just got him. I feel this is the best time to find him a home. He is the cutest little guy and has been working on his housebreaking. We keep our dog in doors so he has been spoiled. My Name is Peggy e-mail me with any questions. He's up to date on shots and has had complete pup check up

A neighbor has abandoned a Gr. pyr. with me asking me to find a home for him. Sam is 1 1/2 years old. His owner went into the Navy and asked me to relocate the dog. He is alert friendly and house broken. He sits and walks well on the leash. I cannot keep him. I already have a dog and there is not enough space for two animals here. It would be helpful if anybody could find a place to take Sam in. Will deliver

If anyone is interested in adopting a 3-year old male Pyr named Shemya, please contact me at the above email address. He is our beloved family pet that needs to find a new home. We tried once before, but decided to keep him..however it is not working out. My son has asthma and our house is just too small (and he is big!). My wife has just gone back to work and he is home alone all day..he's very well behaved, mild mannered and sweet. He is an indoor dog that needs an air conditioned house and a fenced yard. He's also the most loveable dog anyone could want...people who have 'baby-sitted' him have loved him....however he must find a new home. Contact me for more details and information. Would *prefer* a former Pyr owner, and would like for him to stay in the Georgia area, but not necessary for the right family. Thank you-we are in the Marietta/Atlanta/West Cobb area.

I purchased a Great Pyr when he was 5 weeks old. I'm having a hard time with housebreaking him. He goes outside to defecate but he wants to pee in the house. I take him out on a regular schedule and he pees when he goes out, but then he pees in the house every chance he gets. Does anyone have any ideas on what I need to do? Also, he wants to bite on me all of the time. I know a puppy is going to chew, but how do I keep him from chewing on me?

I can't believe that I am even considering finding my darling three and a half year old female Pyrenees another home. But she has become food aggressive towards other dogs and I was told that she would do better in a one dog household. We just completed an advance obedience class today. It had been my hope this would help me to have more control over her. She is very well behaved. Obeys all commands except "come" at times. Welcomes any and all visitors. Adores us and our grandchildren. She is great around our horses, chickens, ducks, cats. We have used a boundary collars on her, which she respects, but does have a history of breaking through it. I would only consider giving her up to a home which has had this breed before and can prove to me that they would include her into their household and have acreage and adequate fencing. She is completely housebroken and uses a dog door. She has always been treated as a family pet not strickly as a guardian dog and always sleeps indoors. She does bark but not excessively. She is magnificent, very loving and deserves a family that appreciates her.

I have a female and a male pyreneese. They just had puppies. She had 4 white, 1 tan and 3 black with white paws. Can this be? My husband saw the male get with her and I marked it on the calander. On the day she was to deliver, she did. They are both kept in a filed with our goats (66) that has an electric fence around it. She will not come out and we have to literally drag her to the vehicle to take her to the vet. We have not seen any other dog around our area that is black and male. I called the vet and he told me he didn't know enough about pyreneese to tell me, but we could do a blood test. The mother would up laying on three of the white ones and they died. That left 3 black, 1 tan and 1 white. I decided not to do the blood test, and just gave the other puppys away to neighbors and friends. After I gave them away, a friend got on the internet and found a web site that showed a picture of a man and woman who raised black pyreneese dogs. The article said they were very rare, but that there was such a dog. I cannot find the web site and she forgot to print it off. Does anyone know if this can be correct. I would appreciate any input.

HELP, my neighbor is very annoyed because she says that my Great Pyrenes (Abby) howls--not barks. Abby is an inside dog. She is outside daily for walks and to take care of business. She had heart worms when I adopted her and she survived the treatment, hence she bacame an inside dog. When she is out, she is enclosed in my wooden fence backyard. I have never heard her howl. She does bark, but she has never howled. Does anyone have a G.P. that howls like a hound dog? Do you know of any articles that speak about G.P.'s possessing the proclivity to howl? I have not run across any in the net. Thanks for the assist.

We'd like one preferably at least 6 months to a year old as my parents are older and a baby puppy would be too much to contend with. They live in the country so the dog would have plenty of room and my mother LOVES dogs so he'd be well taken care of. Thanks!

She is an extremely patient dog, Recently one of the neighbors dogs slipped his leash to go see her and the owner beat her with a tree branch thinking that she would run away. She claims that our dog attacked her and that if she every sees her again she will run her over with her car. She has already made on attempt. "Crackers has never shown any sighs of aggression, in fact, she has 11 granchildren she loves to roll around and play with. Please, if some one is looking to give a GP a great home, send them our way. Crackers is purebred with papers and I can send photos of her to anyone interested.

I totaly agree as would any good Pyr owner or even breeder that yard size is not always an issue as long as your bringing your Pyr for at least a short daily walk. Both my Pyrs. are happily kept in a dog pen 100'X 100', and although overjoyed to go for their daily walk it's more for craving my companionship rather then for lack of space. If your trying to decide wether it's cruel to keep your Pyr. enclosed in a smaller space try to think of how cruel it is to seperate a Pyr. from what it loves most in life...his/her human best friend ! Remember that although the Pyr. is undoubtedly a giant breed it's slow metabolism doesn't require a giant amount of exercise.

We have 2 Great Pyrs a male 4 years and a female 3 years old. They are wonderful and I cannot image having any other breed. I guess I would just like to say that the size of yard is not always an issue. We have a fenced in yard that is not all that big, but we give our dogs a walk daily for exercise and they do just fine. Could not image giving them up because my yard was a little small. Just something to think about if you feel that yard size is an issue.

Hi, It's a wonderful site and very interresting. We have a four month old pyr, and he is 55 lb. He is a great dog, we love him very much. That breed of dog is so beautiful and majestic, some day I will have another pyr. I love to talk about pyr, and I love to learn even more pyr. If you have any suggestion about anything, like feeding or anything, write to me.

I have never owned this type of dog. They are very sweet and love kids! I have two adult pyreneese,male & female that came to my house as strays and no one has claimed them even after putting an ad in the paper. My Shar-Pei dogs do not want them in their yard but I don't have the heart to just turn them loose or over to the animal shelter. Please e-mail me or call 1-479-967-7117 if you can give them a great home. Thanks!!

My husband and I just got our 4 kids a 8wk. old Pyr. today!!! Everything we have read and researched on the breed has been postive. We know they are very protective but gentle. My father just offer opinions of concern stating that he knows someone with pyrenees dogs and that this person say they get mean. Also says that they cannot be allowed run to free, nor can they be allowed around our kids friends at birthday parties due to safety reasons. These comments are completely opposite of what we've been told by breeders and other owners of the breed. If several of you could e-mail us and give us some clearer picture of the breed and care we would definetely appreciate it. We do not want to chain him up nor do we have a fenced in yard, it's 4 acres! plus 80acres farmland. Please mail with any info possible. Thanks in advance!!!!!!

I got my pyr "dolly" in april from someone who never had a big dog before. they did not have much of a yard so they kept her caages for most of the day & night. she is 2 years old now & is the light of my life. she loves to run around our huge fenced yard & she even plays fetch! i have never had a dog with more personality. she can be quite a handful sometimes because she is so mischevious but that is part of what we love about her.

Your web site is wonderful! We lost our Pyr, Cali, a little over a year ago. She was a show dog we rescued from breeders when she was three. She was the most wonderfully gentle and loving dog that I have ever known. We adopted her because of a Pyr mix we had before her that was also deeply loved and appreciated. We are now looking for our third Pyr puppy, specifically a female. We do not mind if she is a mix our pure breed. Our first was a white shepard mixed with a Pyr, what a dog! Our second was full breed, she was amazing too! If any one has or knows of any puppies please let us know at gia@leedg.com. Thank you.

It is truly amazing how protective he is .We were walking in and isolated area and the noise that sounded seemed like a falling tree .He put himself between me and the sound until we figured out it was a flock of Tukey Buzzards taking off at one time. Everyday he amazes me with his nature. What age do you recommend for neutering this breed?

He has a little difficulty with other dogs (very territorial). Marley is in good health, loves to tug on ropes and is not a barker. Please email if you would be interested in giving him a loving home. Please research the breed before deciding as a pyrenese isn't for everyone.

Hi..We are the new owners of a female PYR. She is now 4 months old. We have a small herd of goats that we want her to guard but aren't having a lot of luck with the training. When she is with the goats all she is interested in doing in jumping at them & then running them. Any suggestions on training would be appreciated. We have many books on the breed but none that go into specifics with the training of a livestock PYR. Right now anytime she is around the goats we have to keep her on a leash. We love this site and hope to get feed back on this topic and any other helpful info. on her breed. Thank You :)

Let me tell you about Rudy - our 2 year old. He is the finest, smartest, most regal animal one could ever imagine. Although he has had no formal training whatsoever, he recognizes and obeys many commands. He displays this obedience for one reason - he receives nothing but unconditional love and attention from us; my wife and I. We were blessed with him as a pup at 10 weeks old, from probably one of the finest breeders in the West; Sunburst Kennels in Scottsdale, AZ. Mary Anne chose our pup for us, to suit OUR personality, we had nothing to say in the matter. But rest assured, we received a puppy who has brought nothing but joy to us both. Now, at 2 years old, Rudy is our best friend and faithful companion. We named him Rudy because he was the 12th of 12 puppies, weighing only 1 pound at birth. His strength was so little that he could not nurse on his own, so MaryAnn bottle fed him the entire time he was to nurse. Hence, Rudy, the runt, as in the movie of the Notre Dame football player who played only one play in his entire tenure at college. But Rudy is unmistakeable a champion - a champion in our daily lives, in our fondest wishes for our life and his, and in our house and home. God bless the Great Pyrenees - they keep us safe from the bears and coyotes, and the soothe our souls. Best to you and your Pyr's. Jack Hammitt Breezy Pine, AZ

Can someone recommend a first class training book or video for Great Pyranees? I especially want to train our new pup to do his "business" only at a designated site, or sites. We have bike and hiking trails crisscrossing our land and it is very annoying when dogs "drop their load" right in front of people on the trails. ROVER is a cute little guy, only 8 weeks old and ready to train. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I have read some of the notes left by various Pyr owners. I currently own 4 Pyreenes and have to say I am the biggest fan. Our dogs are the working type and live with our stock of 200+ head of cows and sheep 24/7. To those that own Pyrs they are a very indepandent breed and generally do not train like a lab or others. Their hearts are with live stock and vast amounts of land. Our dogs can travel as many as 10 miles aday. If bonded at the puppy stage they can be hands down the best childs dog ever. It is my hope that who ever decides to own this breed truly understand who they realy are. They are not a town dog and fetch is not their game of choice. It is unlikely that you will teach the average Pyr that game. But they will love you till the day they die and will protect your children and stock unconditionally. We have owned and lost many a Pyr over the years on our ranch and all our "kids" lived their days roaming our ranch, cuddling a cold lamb or licking a new born calf. They were born with the stock and they died with them. They are Gods little fighters. Please carefully consider your life before owning a Pyr. They are not for everyone.

Hello, We have just bought a beautiful 12 week old PYR girl for my dad to help protect his goat herd. She had already been out in the pasture with her mom and dad who were livestock dogs before we bought her. The problem since she has gone to live with my mom & dad is she doesn't want my dad to leave her at all. She also runs the goats who have already been traumatized by wild dogs. Thus the reason we decided to buy my dad the PYR. My dad is spending every waking minute out in the yard with her but the main problem is when he comes inside for anything she jumps over a fence and runs up to the backdoor. He really has lots of questions on how to stop her from doing this. I would love to go online and post this question but couldn't figure out how to do it. If you would please write me back to inform me how to ask questions to your PYR lovers I would appreciate it so much. Thank You, Angela Farthing

I found your site and thoroughly loved the pictures of everyones dogs. I had to have my male pyr put down on Oct. 21 because of bone cancer. It had spread thru his body. I very much miss him. He was my gentle giant. Always very well behaved. He was 10 years old. He loved to go for long walks. I just recently picked up a female from some people who bought her and thought she was just to large. I am glad I found her for she was in bad shape when I got her. She has been to the vet several times now and is doing well. She is well behaved and very smart. Her name is Angel. She was my gift since my Burley had to go. Merry Christmas.

Hi, we just added a ten month old Pyr. to our family. We absolutely love him. However, I need to find a book (advise) specific to training Great Pyrenees. We have done some research on trainers but have recognized that many good trainers may not know the unique behaviors of the Great Pyr. Specifically: bed wetting (mine), excessive barking (only when outside, he spends most of the time 97% inside with the family). I am aware that some barking is natural.

I have a wonderful 6 yr. old AKC male (neutered). He is the biggest, fluffy, puppy of a dog that you have ever met. I need to find a new home for him. My yard is way too small for him. Seriously, he is the coolest dog. He just needs (deserves) some room to roam. I would be more than happy to help with shipping/moving costs if necessary. I just want him to have a happy, loving home.

I adopted a Pyr from our local shelter, she is around 2 years old. Obviously she had been abused, and had no social skills. While I am with her she is fine with other people. If I go away for a couple of days and ask a friend to come and feed her she growls at them, and they are afraid of her. How can I get her to accept others when I am away?

I am considering adopting a 4yr. old Pyr. She is currently at a rescue center. She has been neglected physically, but not abused. My concern is not only do I have three of my own children, my house is like the "Kool-aid" house. Kids are coming and going all day long. Older neighbors too. Will this be a problem to this type of dog? I have a Golden Retreiver who's attitude is "the more the merrier". Any comments would be appreciated.

I own a 10 year old great pyrennes named "Lena". She is a wonderful guard dog for our cattle. Stays with them winter and summer. Very gentle and loving with other animals - loves cats!! Very protective of baby calves. When the cattle herd moves as they graze - she moves along with them or sometimes they follow her. She bonded with some calves we had in a pen when she was 8 months old. When we let the calves out to pasture - she just went along with them and it's been that way ever since! We feed her out in the pasture in summer and by the cattle pens in winter. Very friendly with us - doesn't like strangers. The best dog we have ever had!! Looking for a breeder in Minnesota/North Dakota area with pups???

We are in the process of purchasing a two year old male pyr from his owner who is no longer able to keep him. We want a female to be his companion but cannot find one anywhere near here. We are not interested in papers as we do not intend to breed her (he is fixed) and we don't care about bloodline so long as she is healthy as we do not ever intend to show her. In fact all we need is that she be healthy. We REALLY want a puppy since he is already grown and may not take well to an adult dog in his space. Please help if you have a pet quality pyr pup that you would like to see in loving home.

HEllo, I have a 7 month old spayed female pyr and a 3-year old male malamute. They have done great together, but lately they seem to be having "issues" with each other. The last incident was over rawhides, I know, I know, likely problem, but my mal started it by stealing both of them, they got into it over them, and now my pyr growls at him whenever he gets too close to her drinking,eating, or chewing on a toy. Other times they play fine. I'm afraid that with them both showing dominance, I'm going to have a problem between them two, not with me, I'm the queen of my castle and they both respect that, lol. Any suggestions from anyone in similar situations? Thanks

He takes off and will not come back when called. He will look right at us and there he goes. We're building a huge run for him, it just breaks our hearts to have to keep him on a leash and locked up all the time. Does anyone have any suggestions? By the way, he has been to dog obedience twice and has been the star both times.

Hello, I am looking for help for a 2 year old Pyr male named Claude. He was probably a puppy mill dog in retrospect, purchased at 4 mo of age from a pet store (never again!). He is a loving, playful dog that never chews anything in the house and generally behaves very well (including being wonderfully calm and gentle with our baby boy and friendly to people and dogs he meets)... He's stubborn but smart- obeys "downstairs", "go potty", "sit", "come" and is generally eager to please. Our problem: he cannot be totally house trained. I have had many dogs over the years and have never had such a problem. He does not urinate inside, but seems to have less than normal control over his bowels. We have taken him to more than one vet who told us he has no medical problem, that he just doesnt have any natural instinct to be tidy about his stooling. We're about at the end of our rope with 'accidents' 5-6 days a week (he's inside about 6 hours at a time). And if you can beleive it the dog is unhappy... the days he has accidents he doesn't even meet us at the door or want to play... Now that we have a baby crawling around on the floors the problem is even worse for us. We're looking for a new home for Claude where he could be an "outdoor dog" with room to play- preferably a farm... or a house with someone home all day... and preferably with someone who loves Pyrs and understands their personality (stubborn, gentle). We would also certainly be interested in any advice if anyone has had a similar problem.. Thanks.

I am looking for a Pyr. rescue group in the Tulsa area. A beautiful, young, adult female was dumped in our area almost 9 months ago. It has taken most of this time to get her to let anyone near her. She is now very friendly and loving and my guess is that she has been spayed. We need to get in contact with a local rescue group to find her a good home. We already have four large dogs and just can't manage another one. If anyone knows of one, please e-mail me. Thank you.

My neighbor has a pyr/collie mix. We live in town and she has tried everything to keep her dog in her small yard. Recently the dog broke free from her chain, attacked my lab (only 7 weeks after delivering pups) and then ran over and also bit me. The owner says we must have proviked her in some way (not true) yet everything that I've read says that this breed does not like to be chained up and was basically just protecting territory (even though we were on our property, gardening). Any suggestions on how I can once again feel safe in my own front yard??? HELP! Kathy

She likes to sleep in the garage, and is not taking to her crate. Potty training is going a little slower than our golden retriever. She is very playful, when not snoozing. Why does she like to sleep in the garage alone rather than in side with her family? Any potty training suggestions would be apreciated. Heather

Someone dumped a very sick, matted, tick and flea infested Pyr pup at our place a while back. We were not sure what he was but "nasty" at first. I have six girls (seven counting mom) and they gave him the salon treatment the next A.M. With a good bathing, brushing, and picking out all the bugs, we now have a beautiful boy Pyr pup named, Cotton. He is a good boy. We have wormed him and put him on a healthy regimine of puppy chow and clean water and he has turned 180 degreees. Our dog (gold lab died back in Sept)was great and we have been mourning. We take this as a gift from the Lord.

I own 6 Pry's. My best buddy last fall was hit by a combined that broke his tail and he ended up paralysed. I had 3 option 1 to put him to sleep, 2 to take him on a 4hr trip to a Vet School, 3 wait and see. I got a second opinon with the same answers. The first not being an option. I had bottle feed him from day 1 and resusitated him 3 times as a puppy. So I set out to get him back on all 4's. Doing physical therapy on him 2-3 times a day, washing him and applying Desitin 2-3 times a day. He is now walking on all fours. He is still uncordinated when turning and slow to get up but he has learned to run, pickup and plant his feet and can run about as fast as he did before. He is incontinate both bladder and bowel but he is a happy dog and just loves attention. He cann't wag his tail, but his faces tells the story. I get concerned with him going out at night to do his guard duty, but that's what he loves and still does a good job. My other ones are just as special. They are all quite babied. Each one has their own personality. I purchased a female in May for a replacement mom and she is having a great time playing with him. I had lost an 18 month old to a traffic hit and run in Jan. while I was gone to a conference so I have not had the best year and she was a sweet heart. I wasn't going to replace her and quit raising them but as fate has it the lady had several puppies and I was back into it again.

Hello, I own a 2 year old female Great Pyrenees. She is the best dog I have owned so far. But lately she has had a big temperment change. She has become very food-aggressive. She has NEVER shown any sign what-so-ever of this. She usually takes turns letting the cats eat out of her food dish. Now she turns on the horse! In mad barking and growling fits. She even took a nip at me! Please tell me what any of you think....Thank you!

I know that she is getting enough attention and excercise, one of our four children is constantly palying with her. She has her own kiddie pool to stay cool. She doesn't bother the vegetable garden, just the flower garden. Any suggestions?

I think that breeders should recommend review of this site to all potential new Pyr owners. Although I can't imagine owning any other breed, I've met some people who were not prepared and their dogs were sent to the pound. I have 6 adults, a 6 month old, and 7 puppies. My biggest problem in breeding is that I have to know that the pups are going only to the best homes. Please e-mail if you want to talk Pyrs.

My Great Pyrenees is losing the use of her back legs. She is amost 11 years old and was formerly active. She had an operation in Sepatember 2002 to repair two deteriorating disks which were pressing her spinal cord. It worked for a while but now she is almost unable to use her back legs. We have her on 2 doeses of 20 mg prednisone per day. I am looking into wheelchairs. Have any of you experienced this with your Pyr? If so, can you give me any advice?

Dyami (male) is now seven months old, and I can not get him to stop bitting me and my daughter.. I've tried every thing, all the basic common sence things..and then some.. got professional advice. Alpha training.. He can be so sweet but then out of the blue he will just go and bite my daughter, he'll bite me if I go to get him to put him out..or just because.. I will NEVER be able to leave him alone with my daughter..not for a second.. Someone told me that I am to sweet to have a dog like this and that I don't have enough bark to my voice to get him to listen.. I am trying to prove them wrong..but I am at my limit, and want to give him away... My daughter was sitting on the couch last night and I was reading in the chair and he just went over and bit her on the knee for know reason.. He didn't break skin, but she is only three and it sure did hurt.. What should I do..we love his gentle side.. but we can't live with a bitter.. Torn!!! Some one e-me Please

ANYBODY HAVE TROUBLE WITH AGGRESSION ??? :( We have a 4 month old male, this is our 4th pyr, so we really know the breed. (the others have died of old age, so he is the only one here) He is really going crazy with the "play biting" of my young children, and 3 weeks ago he started a very scary growling when anyone got near him as he ate. We have never had that experience with our other dogs, they were so docile, never ever growling at us for any reason. I am petrified this is the beginning of trouble: he may really bite someone, and I don't know how to properly stop these behaviors. The vet says to shout NO loud and low, to scare him and simulate the way his mother would bark. This does not seem to phase him one bit. We got him from a sheep farmer, and he said to swat him across the nose, but I am not comfortable handling it like that. I have been reading the postings and saw nothing similar to my situation. Any suggestions? Feel free to contact me. Thanks for any help or advice:)

I have had my Pyr Maggie since she was abandon and spent 3 weeks in flood water in the great flood of 93. We believe she might have been a year old at the time we got her. No health problems to speak of until last Wednesday when I took her to the groomers. I usually do it myself but hadn't been feeling up to it so I decided to try letting someone else do it this time. She walked in fine, but when I picked her up several hours later she literally couldn't stand. All four legs were totally useless. I took her straight to the vet. X-rays showed up no bone problems in the hips, legs or spine. Also no neuro problems. The only thing that was abnormal was she couldn't walk. She was alert. Bloodwork showed problems with the muscles. CK levels normally at 320 were showing 72,000! Unfortunately it was before the Easter weekend and we couldn't get into the specialist until Tuesday (tomorrow). Starting today she's showing marked improvement--trying to stand and is actually able to raise herself up somewhat which she wasn't even trying to do before. We're thinking of having a muscle biopsy done tomorrow to see what kind of myopathy is going on and if there is medication for it. I checked with the groomer and they said nothing happened as far as her falling off or slipping on anything. There was no bruising or marks on her body. I'm wondering if just the strain of standing for so long a time was the problem. When I groom her I stretch it out for a couple of days a little at a time. Anyone experience anything like this?

On March 7, 2002, roughly 13 months ago, one of my 22 month old un-neutered show quality Great Pyrenees males was stolen in the vicinity of 611 South Mountain Road, New City, NY 10956. His name is Brian Boru Goliath of South Mountain, but we affectionately referred to him as Goliath. He was one of the largest specimens that we encountered and dwafted most other Great Pyrs. He measured in excess of 31.5 inches at the withers (that is at the scapulae not measured at the neck as some people incorrectly measure), had a massive head with distinctive reddish-tan markings and a reddish-tan patch on his right side. Goliath was also large boned compared to the average Pyr. He was AVID Microchipped for identification and possessed several other unique identifying markers. Goliath is a very Alpha and territorial male who disdains confinement regardless of the enclosure size. I own 3+ acres and he actually chewed through gage 6 chain link fence, scalloping his canines in the process so that he could chase deer in state park bordering my property. Although well socialized, obedience trained and good on lead, Goliath would prove too much dog for a novice dog handler and he could prove dangerous in certain situations should he or his perceived possessions/family be treatened. Despite an exhaustive and extensive search, employing 1/4 page news paper ads, radio ads, classified ads, contacting regional vets, shelters, pet stores, police, highway dept., color fliers with pictures of Goliath placed in every conceivable location we have not recovered our big guy. Goliath was most definetly not an easy keep dog. However, despite and perhaps because of his fearless nature and demeanor a very strong bond formed between the two of us. My life has not been the same since he was taken. police believe that he was taken with intent. However, due to Goliath's willful disposition and at times ferocity, if he is alive we do not believe that he would remain with the same individual(s) that took him. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone having seen or heard of a dog fitting that general discription for adoption, sale or rescue in the past year or so contact Tom or Patricia at 845-634-8961/845-642-1009 or at sportssciencedoc@yahoo.com.

We have 2 females. We got our first little ball of white fuzz almost 2 years ago. Every day that we had Abby I fell more and more in love with her and the breed, so I decided that it was time to find another one. The first place I turned to was a local Pyr rescue. Well to make a long story short they had Abby's sister! I couldn't believe it! All I kept thinking were "what are the chances?" After two different owners, Jessie is finally home. It's the most wonderful thing to see the two sisters curled up sleeping next to each other. I couldn't think of a happier ending to this story. Thank you Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue! If there is anyone in the Hampton Roads area that would like to share Pyr stories, please send me an e-mail.

We have a Pyr named Merlin. He is 4 mths old and just a wonderful pup. However, when we leave the house, he cries like there is no tomorrow and perhaps to a dog there isn't. He chews up the door mats and scratches at the door frames. He ignores all the toys and bones that we leave for him. He seems to be suffering from separation anxiety. He is also a very timid and submissive dog. He greets people by laying down and waits for them to rub his belly. Is this common for a young Pry? When we are at home there are no problems. We wonders the house, plays with his toys and rings a bell to go out. Also I see alot of people saying that their Pry barks alot. Our "little" guy very rarely barks unless he wants in from the backyard and no one is noticing him waiting there.

Hi - wanted to reply in reference to Pry's and their barking. If you want a dog that doesn't bark or only barks at intruders you definately don't want a Pry. I have a 4 year old male that is the "perfect" dog (except for the shedding and barking). A good vacuum/brush and keeping him indoors are the only ways to correct these 2 problems. The barking used to drive my husband nuts so he went out and bought one of the "shock" bark collars. These things are horrible and it does not deter a Pry - their instinct is SO strong that this collar only burned him to the point that he got skin narcosis (basically it killed all the nerves in his neck so that eventually he couldn't feel the shock but it still kept working and ended up burning him!) He still continues to bark but we manage this by only letting him outside during times that don't disturb the neighbors that much. After 8 in the morning and not after 9 at night. I spoke to my vet and he said the only way to correct his barking problem was to cut his vocal cords! NO WAY - We know just live with it and are thankful that he is such a 'wonderful' dog and companion. I'd suggest just keeping your Pry indoors during times that really disturb your neighbors.

DEWAR, IA USA - Sunday, April 06, 2003 at 17:46:42 (EDT)

Like everyone here... I LOVE MY GP!! Her name is Delphi and she is 19 months old. My problem lately is that she has decided that she can poop and pee in the house. She was very nicely housebroken with only a few occasional accidents, but lately I come home from work and there is a mess (fortunately her poops are hard.) This also happens overnight. This has been going on for about 2 weeks. She is a very picky eater and unlike our old Golden who would woof down her food the minute we placed it in front of her... Delphi nibbles at it little by little. Delphi gets a mouth full and lets 3/4 of it fall on the floor! She tends to eat most of her food between 8pm and 10pm! I could try taking the food away from her in the evening, but with her being pockey... I don't know if she'll eat enough this way. I'm at wits end about the accidents. I've tried praising her when she is "good" outside. I tried ignoring the accidents and just cleaning them up. I've tried hugs and treats... HELP! Thanks...

I have my second Pyr 3 months old 28 lbs, a bundle of energyand named Tiny. I noticed one night as he got up after sleeping he was really wobbly getting up on to his feet, but the incident was forgotten until earlier this week when my wife told that he was behaving strange as he walked . When he sat his hind legs would go out to the side and he was wobbly on his feet and some times he would have a strange look in his eyes. My vet had given him some steroid shots and kepted him over night and exrayed his head to just below his shoulders with nothing unusual. She stated that it was possibly might be neurological. I am going to try and get him to see a vet at Texas A&M which is a 3o minute drive. If anyone one out there has had a Pyr with symptoms like these e-mail me please.

I'd like to recommend the www.Petfinder.com website to people looking for Pyrs. There are several Pyr rescue groups that list dogs on it. I would love to be able to take all these wonderful dogs home.

Do Great Pyrenees like water? That is, do they like to go swimming? Also, are they difficult to train to ask to go outside to do their "business?" Thanks! I will have a girl with a mask in about seven weeks -- I will call her Michelle. chrismaine@direcway.com

I have at present an 1 1/2 yr old pyr. We lost our previous pyr about 2 yrs ago now. I miss her so much still. The new one is a handful, totally adorable, but very much the trouble maker ... but she is a big distraction from my grief which I am still suffering with. I love her dearly unfortunately my old and grumpy Am. Eskimo does not. Odd -he and our old pyr always got along fine but now he's 14 and grumpy and not willing to tolerate her puppy antics. He was just as heartbroken as we were after our loss but anyone who tells you that a new puppy brought into the household can recharge an old dog... hasn't met my old grump, it doesn't always work that way. Self correcting problem though, eventually she will grow into a mature adult and he will pass on. I'd just like a little peace before that. So far his antagonism towards her has had zero effect on her - that's what I love about pyrs - fabulous personality.

My husband & I are looking for a female (preferrably) and either a young dog (up to the age of 3 would be nice) or a pup. Can anyone help us!!??? We would like to rescue, but the few shelters we have contacted, have said that we NEED to have a fenced in yard prior to rescuing. We don't have that at this time, therefore, they won't adopt to us.

I have a lovely 2 1/2 year old, female, Pyrenees and live on a small farm in Massachusetts. Elvira is wonderfully protective and takes her job of keeping away predators seriously. She prefers to stay outdoors during the day and sleeps indoors at night. Our problem is that at times she barks continuously at unfamiliar sounds or when sensing that an unwelcomed animal dared to pass through our land. She is only doing her job but unfortunately we have one neighbor who has complained to us of her barking and this has us worried. We did agree to keep Elvira quiet between 5 P.M. and 8 A.M., however, now that we realize that this bothers our neighbor, the barking seems to concern us all the more. We are considering debarking her and wonder if anyone has had any positive or negative experiences in this regard.

I have a 6 year old Great Pyranese, the best dog I have ever had. However, we need to consider her needs. Moved here from Oregon 6 months ago, and she is used to running around 2.5 acres vs a 1000 sq ft upstairs brownstone now. She is miserable and needs room to roam. We've discussed this at great length and would consider giving her to a good family. She loves people, kids, pets and is an excellent companion. She has champion lines thruout her lineage, however we never got her paperwork done, she was part of our family not a showpiece. Her name is Mia, I have tons of pictures and we are really looking to place her with a family that will spend time and love her as we have. She is in excellent health, never had any illness. Please contact me if intested.

Have owned two Pyrs and think they are the greatest. We no longer have sheep, so when we had to have our 9 yr old put down for cancer I opted to adopt a Golden from rescue. This dog needs another dog as I truly believe she is mentally slow. The problem is that we have no dog fence: we did not need one before as our dogs lived out with the sheep and in the house during the day in the heat. We are in our 70s and live on a small farm. I realize every day that a Pyr is the ONLY dog I will ever really want. I cannot tell you how I feel about her loss. Any suggestions for a laid-back older dog which would fit into our lifestyle? Best to all.

We just adopted a rescue Pyr. She's the best thing that ever happened to us. She adapted very quickly to our life style and has overcome all her fears already...just 3 weeks. She must be a special sample of the breed because not only does she come when called, but she minds so well on everything else. She even waits at the door for me to wipe her feet before coming all the way in!! Anyone wanting a Pyr for a pet, not breeding or show, I have 2 bits of advice. Read up on them first, and get from a Rescue. They are phenomimal pets and quickly become one of the family. Rescue foster parents love these animals and won't let "just anyone" adopt. They are vaccinated and spayed or neutered and healthy before they will release them. We are now looking for another but a male this time. The bigger the better! Great, great animals. I'm addicted I think. I have pyrenees shirts, cups, mouse pads, door mats...you get the picture. cb Riga, Michigan

It totally blows me away that when signing this guestbook, you are not supposed to advertise puppies for sale...or reap the woes of having your ISP notified...but all these other advertisements are welcomed with open arms. How sad that a Pyre website is allowed advertisements for everything BUT Pyres. It is no wonder that we never get to read any letters about our Pyres, everyone is leaving this sight................... ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW OF A GOOD GREAT PYRENEESE SIGHT????????????????????????????????????????? Good bye Pyr Net Judy Booth

I had an ID tag on her; however, I just found her collar in the back yard - she had manaeged to get it off. She is actually a mix - rather blond with black on her face and ears. She also coughs a lot (we had her on medicine) If anyone has any info - please contact me. Thanks to all.

For approximately 7 months we have been struggling with Yeti's yeasty ear infection. I've been to the vet, but unfortunately the infection returns immediately. "Otomax" which the vet prescribed does work. The infection goes away, but after applying the medication for two weeks and having the infection return is very frustating. If anyone has any advice on ear yeast infections please share your experience and remedy. thanks, Matthew

My family adopted two abandoned Pyrs last summer. The two "babies" were underweight and were out of time in the shelters. They did not know each other before coming to our home, but now "pine" for the other if they are separated. They are healthy and well-filled out now and are the most loving, gentle creatures you could ever imagine. Now, we are working on correcting some of the bad habits they learned while being shuffled from place to place. Our Pyrs have never met a stranger and love everyone. They are very protective, though and will place themselves between us and other animals if they sense the other animal is not completely friendly. I cannot imagine life without our babies now. WE LOVE OUR PYRS!!!!

Nicole, I hope that u come back at least one more time to see that you are not alone. We Pyre lovers, (all of us true Pyre lovers), are also disgusted with all this bull. We don't care about eye, breast, face or any other kind of surgery. We don't care about all the laser printers, and desk jets. This is a place for Pyre lovers to talk about thier dogs, find solutions to problems with thier dogs, and share the stories about the animals that guard thier livestock, guard thier children and families, or for those that have animals that they show. People who come here to bash the breed, or to advertise products and services are inconsiderate fools, and sometimes you just have to consider the source and go on. I know that there are many people out there who feel the same way, and maybe if they all wrote in too, the WEBMASTER would take action....or is the webmaster really a Pyre lover?

He adores children and truck rides. They both love my Bostons Terriers and cats. We often find the cats piled on top of Angel and Samson and the pups. Angel's got 5 of the sweetest girls and she's being such a good mother. I'm so proud of her. I just love them all! Seems like we just have one big zoo around here sometimes.

Had her to the vet several times, but infection comes back after a few months. Any Suggestions? My wife went to put Pooh on her yard lead a few months ago and there was a black bear in the back yard. The guard dog came out in her. We had a hard time trying to get her back in the house. She wanted back out into the yard to confront the bear. The bear has not been back since.

Everyone in our neighborhood knows her and if they see her with us taking one of our million walks along the Lakefront, they all come over and hug and kiss her! We had to put to rest my 10 yr. old Chow Chow due to hip dysplasia, a week before that my 16yr. Himalayan was put to rest due to kidney failure, and 3 months later, my Irish Setter to cancer. It was traumatic. They were like our children. But since Mariah came into our lives, she has been like an angel from above! I wish all animals could be loved this much!

Really enjoy your site. Thanks for putting this together with so much useful information about Pyrs. We have a 1 year old male named Tahoe. He is our first pyr and sure to not be the last. He herds our 5 cats and 8yr. old Springer and does a fine job of it. He's been known to also herd us as well. I think that the job he's done best was guarding a ham in the oven for 3 hours. Honestly, pyrs have either 1) a weird sense of humor or 2) total dedication to the task at hand or both. We've not had many issues with his health other than food allegies (wheat/maybe beef suspect) Caused itching and biting of his fur. Now he has a beautiful coat since we took him off of the old diet. He has venison dry food w/veggies now and does really well. Still cannot seem to catch him up on his weight yet. He seems to be growing too tall too fast and the weight gain and muscle just isn't there. He's still very young at 1 though, vet thinks his weight is fine. Thanks again. Your friends in Texas!

Hey Sam....when you were "visiting" those sights for laser cartridges, toner, roses and wedding bouguets,(did you get in enough there??) did you leave thier guestbook with Pyrnet's name highlighted????....I thought not. Since you, and others like you, make it a habit to come here and advertise, the LEAST you can do is buy a Great Pyrenese....or better yet, rescue one from your nearest rescue organization. If we have to keep putting up with your advertisements, when you know full well that we don't want to read them, (and you SHOULD know that we will not visit your sights), then you should also be the proud owner of a Pyre or two!!!!!!!!

I have 8 great pyrenees at this time. I love them as you can tell. I have a mother that loves her puppies too much and I have had to bottle feed the last 6 litters for her. The every 2 hr feeds can be a challange at first but it is all worth it. My one male is glued to me while I am out side doing things. I ended up doing CPR on him several times as a newborn, but I safed he and he is a great dog. They are the most loving and devoted puppies. And if there is any one that say you cann't have a pet and a guard dog all in one, well I can prove them wrong. My 2 males are excellant gaurd dogs. I haven't had any trouble with cyotes or fox killing my ducks and chickens. My dogs are also house broke and love to come in for a visit and them they are back outside again. I traveled 8 hours one way just to pick up a new female. People thought I was nuts. She was 6 months old when I got her and she fit into the family without a problem. She will be replacing my older female. They all have individual and great personalities.

I have just recently adopted a Black Lab / Collie mix at least that is what I was told. She is 13 weeks old, and my family and I trying to house break her. Should I also use those Arm & Hammer Super Puppy Pads at night for her to go relieve herself while the family is sleeping ? Or will I just be confusing her ? This is my first time trying to train a dog and I am not sure what I should do. Almost, everyone I speak too about this says, That I am actually telling my pup that it is okay to relieve herself in the house by using these pads is this true?

We have two pyrs, Gracie and Oliver. They are an awesome part of our family! They are full brother and sister but from different litters. Being the oldest, Gracie is the leader. When they bark a good bit, we usually give them a cows ear or a pigs ear and that keeps them occupied until they are ready to sleep. I'm glad to see this web site. I read alot aobut the breed before we got our dogs and continue to read any info about the breed.

Enough is enough!! Please DO something. I, for one, LOVE my pyres, and used to love this sight, but it is getting harder and harder to come here.

Why are all you people posting things that have nothing to do with the Great Pyrenees breed on this website? Are you illiterate or just stupid? I can pretty much guarantee you a posting here will get you NO business. I, and speaking for most of the other viewers, could care less if you ever get ink cartridges or a computer again. Go play on some other website and stay off of this one. Webmaster - are you checking this site regularly to keep these idiots off? I'm getting a tired of all the rhetorick from these folks-

In response to request for information to ease Vern's dysplasia, my Vet has suggested Meloxicam (probably known as Metacam in the US). A neighbor has a four year old all-american with severe elbow dysplasia. She has had 'Cash' on Meloxicam for 3 months and the difference is amazing. He's like a new dog. I will be putting my Pyr Carlie on it within the next few days. The Vet says she has had great results from it, including treating her own Kuvaz. She feels strongly that it added five years to her dog's life. I will keep you posted on the effects it has on Carlie. Good luck!!! J

We have an incredible 22 mo old pyr named "Vern". He has been an absolute delight for us. Unfornately, Vern was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at 14 months old. His bad days are starting to outnumber his good days and it breaks my heart to see him in pain. Our vet suggested surgery, but we don't have the funds and believe the damage might be too far gone now to correct. We do have him on joint builders and pain meds, but doesn't seem to be working at that well. Has anyone out there experienced this with their pyr? Would love to hear any suggestions... want to keep Vern around as long as possible - our 14 month old daughter loves her big fluffy puppy!! email at trnikl@juno.com

We have 3 y/o great PYR, Cooper. We live in Albuquerque, NM and Cooper has tough time with hot weather in summer. He loves to hike and run, and he does not understand being left behind during summer months. We are moving to Fort Smith, AR, next summer -- very hot. We are hoping to find a cool, country home for Cooper. He is great with kids and other dogs. He does bark, so close neighbors may not be a good situation. We have a large backyard for playing, but he is inside when otherwise at home. Any suggestions or interested parties please e-mail.

We have 2 of these beauties - Blizzard and Faberge'. The male is more loving than the female. She seems to want to allow people love on her own terms. They are absolutely awesome dogs and the breed is wonderful. The only downside is the blowing of their coats. Since they are mostly inside dogs, we are now on our 3rd vacuum cleaner! (it;s worth it though) Our male has lots of ear problems. We continuely clean and take him to the vet. Changed his diet per vet. Any suggestions from anyone. He runs when he sees a cotton ball.

Has anyone out there had expierience with Pyr mixes? We had the best dog in the world who was 1/2 Great Pyr; 1/4 Malamute; 1/4 Samoyed. That was many years ago, and recently, after losing a dog, we just stumbled onto a Black Lab/Great Pyr mix. Unlike our first mix, this one does not look as much like a Pyr, but so far has many of the same wonderful traits. I would love to hear about other mixes and if they are as good as the ones we have had

I like your site very much. I have a nearly 3 year old Pyr named Angel. We are thinking very seriously about breeding her and would like to hear from possible studs in our area. Please contact us if you might be interested. Also, we are very careful about breeding. All x-rays injections and tests would be completed before any breeding would take place. We would like to have a pup just like her again and this is one way to get a daughter with her lovely looks and temperment.

Just aquired (rescued) an 8 mo old male Pyr this morning. Matted,with fleas and ticks. Humans deserted him after their divorce. After a full day of bathing and combing out mats along with lots of hugs, I have fallen in love! What sad eyes! I knew nothing about pyr's but have searched the web and working with him all day I have found that they are truly gentle giants! Quite a contrast to my tiny indoor poodle and chihuaha, (which he seems to want to protect), I have decided to try to keep him. (If he'll have me) Great site!!

We have 2 registered pyrs. Both have a mind of their own; both are very protective of the home, yard, and any other yard they can see. Because of their independence we are very reluctant to let them run free during our walks. Thay answer commads most of the time but usually at their liesure. Both Sammi and Rogin are on a lamb-rice diet. (we had another pyr several years ago that was allurgic to beef, developing hot spots and other disorders , which disappeared after his diet was switched to a lamb-rice base - no beef of any kind) 1. Sammi, we have had Sammi for 3 1/2years now (she is now 5 yrs old) she has a gorgious face, is about 28" at the shoulder, weighs in at 91 pounds, and although small is in excellent shape and is the boss in our house. She is also a former show dog, 2. Rogin we received as an 8 week old puppy and is now about 3 years old. He lets Sammi be the boss. Rogin is about 32 1/2" at the shoulder, long body, likes to walk around with has nose to the ground, (Sammi's nose is always in the air - walks majestically)) and also weighs about 91 pounds. He is very bouncy, runs like a steam engine that you do't want to get in front of, and eats reasonable well. MY CONCERN. Rogin is very thin, to the point that his hip bones are noticeable, the muscles (or meat) on the top of his head are quite thin, and his ribs are also very noticeable. Our vet and our breeder have offered different suggestions (i.e. raw chicken necks) but nothing has worked. I would appreciate hearing from people that have had a similar problem in getting weight on their pyrs. I'm not concerned with him getting overweight as he gets lots of excercise with Sammi and we have a 1/2 acre yard for them to play in. (ONE SUGGETSION I DID RECEIVE WAS TO GO TO A BEEF DIET - BUT BECAUSE OF OUR PAST EXPERIENCES, WE ARE RELUCTANT TO DO THIS) By the way, if someone is looking to get a pyr remember, they are big, they are smart, they are protective, they are cuddly, and, do become a member of the family which you have to consider when taking trips or visiting relatives.

Oh, I miss my pyr. Mojo died a little over a year ago. My husband wanted to get a "kids" dog, so we got an aussie. Our pyr would look at a ball and you could see him think, "why did you throw that, now you'll have to go get it..." The pyr was mine. I can still hear him barking at coyotes and see him rolling in the snow. Someday again...

I have a 1 yr old male Pyr He is a great guard dog. We love him very much. Unfortunatly he needs a new home A.S.A.P. We caught him chasing and killing one of our chickens, a learned habit from a lab who is no longer with us. This is a wonderful breed but we started raising chickens after we bought "Dude" He is a big lover, loves children , we live in a farm community and my neighbors will not accept a dog that kills! Cannot chain him and do not have finances to fence him in, besides what good is a chained or fenced guard dog? He is killing the very animals he was bred to protect. We are in West Fork Arkansas and the dog has to go!!!!

I have two Pyrs, Blue & BG. They are such an interesting loving breed. However, because of their size, sensitivity and indepedence most dog owners should not have this breed. They need training through positive reinforcement almost exclusively. Forcing this breed to doing anything is a huge mistake.

Our big boy Henri is now 7 years old. He is originally from Georgia, but escaped the heat and now lives in the "Great White North". Henri is our first child and we love him to bits. He weighs in at 95lbs, but with his bountiful hair he looks a solid 120. We rescued him at 2 years old and at that time he was afraid of everything and everyone. He was deathly afraid of men in baseball caps! It took over 2 years for him to come out of his shell and socialize with other dogs and people. Last year we had a baby and Henri is very protective and loving. He puts up with all the poking and tugging from Forrester! Our son's first word was DOG! Every time he sees Henri he points and gives kisses! Pyrs are such an amazing breed. All they want is love, walks, a good bed and treats! We hope to have him with us for many more years! Great site!

Hi I have a 5 month old Great Pyrnese mix. I have named her Kynda. Kyndas father was a cross between a German Shepherd and a Great Pyrnese, and her mother is a purbred Caucasian Ovcharka. Kyndas father weighs 140 pounds, and her mother weighs 90 pounds. Not many people know very much about the Caucasian Ovcharka, so I will mention a few things about them. They an weigh from 90-150 pounds, and they are very protective and were bred to guard flocks in Russia. They have a close temperment as the Great Pyrnese I have noticed. The reason I wanted to tell you a little bit about Kynda is because I am wondering if anyone can tell me about approximatly how much Kynda might weigh. Right now she is 5 months, and weighs 56 pounds. Kynda is a beautiful puppy, I couldn't of asked for a better behaved, intellegent and beautiful puppy! thanks Jessie

Oh USA - Monday, July 08, 2002 at 13:03:54 (EDT)

I know I've already bragged about one of my Pyrenees on here before, but I've since acquired another one, Angel. She is a full time guard to our herd of Boer goats. She treats the kids just like they were hers. She is nothing but a pleasure to have. She loves our cats, our goats, our other dogs and us! Her goats are next to the house and she only barks when a strange person pulls in the driveway or tries to enter her field. She has never been a nuisance barker. We know to go to the door or check for stray dogs when Angel barks. She has about 10 ways to escape the field but never tries. She knows those are her goats and she enjoys taking care of them. She is so excited to see us in the field and wants to be loved, but then she goes back to her goats. I couldn't have found a better dog. We still play with her and pet her daily, but her priority is her goats. She has even cleaned the newborns and sat with them when the mother leaves to go and eat. They are really the perfect farm dog to have. She has never given us a moment of trouble and we think she is the best. I want to thank a wonderful "Hillbilly" lady from Ohio for giving me the pleasure to own her. She certainly has a home for life. I would definately recommend a Pyr for anyone who has livestock that needs protection. They may not be the dog for every person, but my two Pyrenees have been a great asset to my farm.

Hi. Wonderful site. I own a 5 year old Gentle Giant (maybe not so giant-80 lbs.) She's terrific; her name is Angel. My dream is to have another, maybe a male. I've always wanted to breed or show but have a disability (artificial arm), so, I'm a little leary. Some breeders have tended to discourage me some (from breeding). I don't even know the first thing about showing, although when I was 16 I got a CD on my German Sheperd (my Sweet Sixteen present!). Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Thanx!

about 3 years ago we were privlaged enoug to have a Pyr. Unfortunatly she died unexpectedly of natural causes. Our vet didn't pick up on the heart murmmer. At any rate we decided to wait a couple years befor getting another. We instead got a whippet, and loved her imensley. Peepers was born blind, and was a joy to have. Our Ausi shepard decided somewhere along the line that he was her caretaker. When we went for walks he walked her, he made sure at night that she did not get lost in the dark. Last week she some how got out of the yard and was killed by a car. while this has been very hard for our children, it has devestated Buster. I am afraid that if I donn't find him a new friend to care for he may die of a broken heart. My husband and I both would like another Pyr. But we want either another blind dog, or one with another handicap. I know that sounds strange, but we feel that Buster needs to be a caregiver as well as a compainon. I am hopping that there will be another friend for him, as I know that many times handicaped pupps are put down. If anyone knows of such a pup, I would love to hear about it. At this point in time I also think it could save my other dog. Please let me know. It would also be great if the location was in Utah, or in one of the surrounding states. I really appreciate any help anyone could give us. We loved our whippet, and we love our ausi too and don't want to lose him as well.

Hi, I just got an 8 week old Pyr. I got him because I need something to guard my calf, sheep, and pig and has the coat to saty outside. I have 3 other dogs. The person I got him from said not to pet him at all or he will never protect the animals. I am petting anyway, he's too CUTE!! Will I mess him up? Can someone please let me know the proper way to train him to protect the animals? Thanks ahead of time!! Keli tubbysmom@yahoo.com

I have a 1yr old male Great Pyr. Recently my 1yr old Lab mix killed one of our ducks,I'm not sure my Pyr was involved but now he sits excitedly at the edge of the pond. He was also seen licking the spot where the duck was killed. Should this dog be put down too? I cannot have a dog who kills farm birds are there any suggestions before I make a decision I might regret. This is my first Pyr and I would hate to get rid of him.

Please don't shave your Pyr!! Not only does your Pyr's well groomed coat keep him/her hot in the winter and cool in the summer it also protects against bug bites,sun burn(and skin cancer).An experienced dog groomer has also informed me that shaving a Pyr can also cause the coat to grow in thicker,imagine how much more work it would be to groom your Pyr with a thicker coat!!

Tdogg, please do not shave your Pyr. A well groomed coat will keep your dog cool as it provides much insulation and the white does not attract the sun. Pyrs are typically low energy dogs and know not to get excited during hot weather. I would advise you to keep him in the house (if it is cooler) and please do not shave. Provide PLENTY of cool fresh water. I have felt my Pyr's coat in the direct sunlight and it actually feels cool on the surface, where my dark Cattledog's short coat feels hot in the sun.

I have a Pyr now that I have had for over 5 yrs. The only question I have is if I am able to shave her down during the summer. She is both inside and outside, but while outside she gets awfully hot. Also, she has a heart murmur so she isnt supposed to get overheated. I had heard that shaving them down some could be worse for her and needed some expert advice from anyone. Thanks so much!

Love your website, reading the posts I have learned one thing for sure. There are jackasses in every setting. I own 2 Full Bred Saint Bernards. they are 6years old. One is dying of Osteosarcoma (BoneCancer) . I have 3 other fur babies also. lab/st. mix, ....lab/chow mix... and "a what is it" They areall a joy and a pleasure to have. My vac never stops, but that is okay. I would run my vac 24x7 if it meant not losing my Beethoven. Cookie is Beethovens littermate brother and my other fur babies names are Chewy, Tippy, and Furgy...... I am interested in getting a Great Pyrennes. I would like to know all about them. I do know they are high on the list of getting Osreosarcoma. Any help would be appreciated Thank you Peggy (bigdoghouse5@yahoo.com)

Susan, If I had been rude, I could have said it differently.....why is it that people have to play these "school yard games"? This is a place that is supposed to be for people to come and talk about the breed that we love so much. There isn't supposed to be any advertising, and I can't imagine all of the bickering that goes on. I would say that the rudeness comes from the people who are doing all this fighting, and from people who write in advertising animals on a sight that clearly says not to.

Hello. I was the proud owner of a Pyr who went to the Rainbow Bridge on February 5, 2002. Trillian developed bone cancer and died after an operation to have her limb removed. I would like to make a few comments on some of the previous posts. Pyr's bark, bark, bark, bark....which we did not know when we got her as we had an Alaskan Malamute that never barked. We tried barker breaker collars, which never worked as the prongs couldn't even get through her fur. Then we felt horrible when we found out why Pyr's bark....when we just thought she was neurotic. It's their instinct to bark...to protect the flock, or family, from predators...they bark around the perimeter of their territory to ward off any would be predators. However, when people live in close proximity to their neighbors they should not leave their Pyr's outside barking for long periods of time. But this is not the dog's fault it is that of an irresponsible owner. Sherry should feel protected by the barking dog, but it is understandable to be frustrated when they keep you up at night. Dog's can have their vocal chords removed to stop them from barking, but most vets will not do such an act of cruelty. And I really do not believe that any authority could force the dog to be "debarked". I can understand how a person could be afraid of a Pyr due to it's large size. However, generally speaking, Pyr's are super affectionate, gentle giants. It is not in their nature to be mean, but any dog can be made mean by improper training. I also do not approve of people letting their pets roam free...mostly because of the chance of the dog getting hit by a car...but also because some people may fear the dog...and you can never be 100% sure that the dog, even a Pyr, won't harm anyone. I know not everyone is a dog lover, but it is ridiculous to blame any animal for its actions when the blame lies with the owner. I would give anything to have my Malamute and my Pyr back, as they are both beautiful creatures who deserve nothing but love and respect.

My wife can not control her in these circumstances and we have been unable to break her of this habit. She is a wonderful dog who loves children. We have a 2 year old who safely wrestles with Glacier. She needs a greats, loving home with a good sized yard. I will be traveling and unable to respond to inquiries June 3rd through June 10, 2002.

Beautiful large neutered Great Pyrenees male needs desperately to find a loving home with someone familiar with this breed and who has the time to work with this fellow. We found this guy wandering when he was estimated by the vet to be about 15 months old. After looking without success through vets, law enforcement, "humane societies", internet, etc. to find his previous people, we had him neutered and marked. We have an elderly setter who he gets along with, except that he plays too exuberantly for her and we are afraid his size will break her bones. We also have very elderly cats who he has not harmed, but he frightened them enough when he first arrived by his size and willingness to chase them so that they constantly hide from him. We don't think this is fair to them to have to give up their territory and they are too old to try to convince they can cohabitate. He has cornered them on rare occasions and just sniffs them, so it's really hard to tell what would happen with younger cats or older ones like ours who would just ignore him instead of hiding. We don't have kids, and he seems to love to be petted by them when we are out walking him with his 'halty' type collar and leash, but we don't feel comfortable sending him to a home with children because we don't know his history and know this breed is protective of whatever he considers his 'flock'. His reaction to dogs we meet while walking is inconsistent...he often barks nastily at dogs from a distance (so we change routes to avoid them), but he played gently with a peppery unintimidated small dog we met while walking for at least 20 minutes until we had to get going on. He needs someone with time and know-how to work with him to teach him socialization skills with other dogs so whoever wants to walk him doesn't have to change their course like we do. He is loving, intelligent, beautiful, and more protective than we're used to (people who are familiar with Pyrs will understand this) or would ever seek out as a trait. He needs a loving, stable home and someone with plenty time to work with him and groom him. He is house-trained and smart. Since he was still sort of a puppy when he came to be with us, he did chew up a few things, but that's thankfully overwith for quite awhile. (He has chewy toys he loves.) We have to travel at least twice weekly, do not have a fenced yard, spend much time in a city apartment, need to give our other geriatric pets priority, and my husband has not bonded with him - still in mourning for our setter's sister and a golden we lost to cancers two days apart. Barking is an issue we think might be at least partly correctable with someone who has time and knowledge to work with him. He barks particularly at passing or stopping service trucks, other dogs, drive-through window personnel, and sometimes things we don't hear or understand. :-) We do love him but cannot keep him any longer because of the stress to our other pets and the strain on our marriage. Ideal home would be with a single or couple without children, familiar with or previous owners of this breed, with big hearts, and the time, space and funds to work with this beautiful creature. We need to ensure whoever adopts him knows what they're getting into so his next home is his last one...he needs stability. We are animal lovers and have tried, but he just is not working with our situation and with our other old creatures. To be fair to them, to us, and to him, we need desperately to find the right home soon where he and his new person/people can live happily ever after. If you can offer such a wonderful home to the big galoot, please contact us at wearefinallyon@telus.net. If you can prove you are the right people to give Jasper a loving and understanding home, we are willing to transport him almost anywhere in the U.S. or along the general trans-Canada corridor.

Hi, I don't know ANYTHING about the Great Pyranese breed and I have rescued a mix (half Great Pyranese and half Chow), I have owned Chows before and know that breeds charachteristics, but I don't have a clue about the Pyranese side. He is very vocal, but I don't mind that. He snaps at us, play snapping, but nevertheless snapping, and I am trying to nip that habit in the bud! He is VERY stubborn. Chows are stubborn also, and some Chows are agressive, but he is not showing signs of aggression toward us, just overbearing attitude. We have had him since he was about 5 weeks old, and I have rolled him over and rubbed his belly ever since that time, playing I'm the boss roles with him as I would have to do with a Chow. Also recently I have begun training him, when he isn't happy with something he doesn't want to do he barks demandingly at me, even as he is doing it! It is so funny, but I have to be very firm with him. I want to know the good and the bad traits of the breed so I can correct any problem areas now. He is now thirteen months old. I have only been training him for a short time now. He is very smart and already knows how to sit on command. My daughter has been teahing him how to speak on command and shake hands. He does these well also. But he speaks most of the time whether she tells him to or not. It's a good thing we live in the country! Anyway thanks for any info you can give us, and if you know of any sites where I can find out good info please pass that on to me also.

Those of us who have Pyrs LOVE them and live with their traits... good ones and bad!! Our 8 month old Delphi is a real snuggle bunny and constantly gives us reasons to forgive her transgressions!!!

The 15 min in which my daughter had the time to achieve the deed she was getting a bath coming down for a towel and getting into the fridge for koolade. She turned 3 two days later... I was right behind her. Cast on my foot coming down the stairs on my bum. I didn't see or hear a thing. My hub was on the couch watching a movie, maybe he heard something but thought it was her giving up on the dear/>deer... and plumping down in her cage. Thank you for the vent I am so sad. Puppies are hard work...hehe

About 5 years ago I got my first pyr. After work I would come out and groom her every day on our porch. I lived in down town in a city, very close to the zoo. So hearing animals was normal. The crime rate was high. And every one in the neighbor hood knew Sadie. I brought her in at night and she stayed out an hour 3xs a day. The only problem we ever had with her was some one though it crule to not have a dog house, during the winter. We got a formal writen letter from the dog warden saying we didn't need one. He was a neighbor. This creature would allow my baby children to poke her in the eye, pull her tail and eat food along with her and never even budge. I would brush her bathe her and she would fall asleep. A year ago my hubby got job in a new city, we needed a place for Sadie to play. A year of seaching for the perfect place for our 3 children and Great Pyr to grow and be happy. A almost 3 acre farm house FENCED IN. Granted Sadie had her flaws she liked dirty diapers! I had *just* put her in her crate and was putting our kids to bed when a knock came to the door. She had gotten hit by a car. It was instant the doctor said. In 15 min my 2 year old let her out to go potty cause she was *barking* at the dear in our yard. And barking meant I need to go potty to a 2 year old. I had no clue she was out side. We have been here for only 4 months now and I have broke my foot leaving church and lost my beloved dog. And to top it off my hub may be out of job in 10 more days. After we lost Sadie everyone including my hub were tired of crying all night we cried I had to do something. Just by luck i found a litter of pups 7wks old. We now have two sister Great pyr puppies. Maybe this will help with them being lonely and wanting to play with the horses accross the street like Sadie. I will never know what she was doing there, or why. I thank god it wasn't the baby who got out. I only wish she would have been barking!

I have two Pyrs and they are very protective of my sheep and goats. We are bothered with coyotes...before we got our Pyrs we were losing kids and lambs about as fast as they were being born. When "Sofia" and "Levi" came into our lives we have lost one ewe to a coyote. Very good watch dogs....ours are a one family dog....they don't like strange people....When we handle the offspring ( for shots and worming etc.) we have to lock the Prys up...they think we are harming the babes so they will push at us and just plain get in the way. The Pyrs are GREAT.

Sher: When reading your statement on WWW.pyrnet.org, I have come to the conclusion that you came to ask for advice, yet you offended the owners of such a great animal. I understand your frustration, about the barking. Since I do own Pyrenees, I find that they do tend to bark. But I would not trade anything in the world for my baby. I recommend, that you meet the people who own the dog, and stop referring to them in a derogatory manner, you seem to think you are above other people, by the comments you have made, just because you are a landowner, and they are not. If you live in a country setting environment, then you should realize, you have no control over the animals that your neighbors own, only those animals that you own. I am sorry you feel compelled to be this way, If you would just meet the dog, and its owners, I am sure you can work out a communication issues, and ask them to bring the dog in at night. As for the rift in your marriage, I hate to say that there were problems in your marriage before the dog moved in. IT seems to me, you are in need of better communication skills.

I was just checking out this site as I was remembering the Pyr's I had growing up. I sure do miss them. They both died at age 11 after a long, happy life. I hope to get another in the next couple of years, but right now my hands are full with a 1 year old Leonberger. She is sweet, but I still miss my old Sugarbear and Sunshine ... anyone looking into a Pyrenees should do research into their needs, as with any breed. They are wonderful dogs! but not compatible with every family, and I just hate hearing stories of them being abandoned, mistreated, etc. Of course, I am biased and think they are the perfect dog and anyone who doesn't think so must have something wrong with them!!! :) They are very smart, gentle, loving, patient, protective, ..... One more comment, though, about barking ... ours never barked unless there was something to bark it ... of course, it wasn't always something important! One night our dogs and their puppies barked and we ignored it - to find the neighbor's house was broken into that night!!!! Also, they mostly barked at night ... taking turns each night with our Newfoundland mix ... one would stay up each night to be on "guard duty" and let out a bark or two every once in a while as if to say "everything is OK, I'm on duty tonight" .... Thanks for letting me share... may you all enjoy your Pyrs as much as I did...

Wow....I'm really shocked by the flying words from complete strangers. I don't own a dog right now and am looking at a Great Pyr who is up for adoption at a local no kill shelter. I was trying to do a search to learn more about them when I stumbled on this site. I think it is sad that people are acting so childish and being so rude on a site which is designed for help and guidance and happy comments and even sad comments when someone lost a loved pet. If you are having a problem with an animal in your area, the place to look for help is your local animal control office, not a website. While everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, this is not the place for such anger. Life is too short and the last thing this world needs is more anger. God bless you all, keep loving your animals. Take care and good luck! :)

When I bought a some goats a few years ago, they threw in a pup. It happened to be a Pyrenees so I decided that it would be okay since we had 350 acres. He was as wild as a buck deer until we started spending time with him at the barn. He has grown into the most loving and loyal companion. He not only protects the family, but our goats as well. All of the neighbors love him too. He loves cats and they don't mind him a bit. It makes them feel safer that he does roam around late at nite. As for the 'hillbilly' comments, watch the toes that you step on because I own a billy goat. I own a herd a South African Boers and my Pyr is the best thing I could've ever acquired for my goats.

we're considering adopting a pyr. The owner (a rescue lady) says his voicebox has been altered (what a crime). He also has a nerve prob. in his leg but walks, runs, etc. Said to be a wonderful dog, stays around, comes when called,etc.etc. I have never owned a pyr (we have a 91/2 yr. old golden. I hope the voicebox will not be a big problem. She wants us to take him home and try him out, hopefully he will get along with our golden who is pretty spoiled (they're both neutered). Any comments welcome, really looking forward to seeing this dog. He is just 2 yrs old, apparently loves children.

SHER, SHER, SHER. I do sympathize with you regarding the barking Pyr. I have a female Pyr and she does bark. It is my responsibility to ensure her barking does not disturb neighbors at inappropriate times. The dog doesn't know better. Simple solution--I bring her in at night. It saddens me that you would so 'bash' a breed you obviously know very little about. As for her scaring your husband several times...all he would have to do is look into those soul-filled eyes and maybe offer a pat on the head and a kind word and he would have a friend for life. The barking trait can be annoying, but it is only one small inconvenience in an otherwise noble, loving breed. You do seem to need help with anger issues and your neighbors need help in respecting your rights and the rights of their dog. Sincerely, J

I was doing a search to find a local chapter for a pyr rescue organization I was involved in when we lived in Gainesville, and I have to say I was quite surprised when I came upon this site and read what sounds like transcripts from a kindergarten class. I own two Pyrs (rescue), a St. Bernard, (also rescue) and a mutt from Gainesville Pet Rescue, and was hoping to find people like myself who care about ANIMALS, and to share information and experiences. Please don't let what was probably a misunderstanding get in the way of some good postings and feedback. I think our dogs (and cats, I have two) would be ashamed of their owners if they could hear us now. Anyway, I really would be interested to know if anyone knows of a rescue organization in my area???

After not checking into my favorite site for several days I was shocked to read such childish bickering!!! Whatever happened to respect? This is a Pyr lover web site and to log in just to bash the breed goes against all my mother tought me as a child!! I am the proud owner of two male Great Pyrenees,when researching for the breed of dog most suited to my lifestyle I found the Pyr.Knowing what I buying,the day I received my first Pyr puppy was one of the happiest days of my life! It's amazing how an educated decision,proper training and upkeep makes for a great relationship between an owner and any breed of dog.There are lots of dog breeds out there that I could ask myself "why would anyone want one?" but look at the owners,they love those very dogs the way I love my Pyrs!! I can only say to the Pyr haters out there,your not worth wasting my time on,learn some manners and GET THE HELL OFF OUR SITE!!!!!! As for the irresponsible Pyr owners out there,learn by your mistakes,keeping a Pyr on a chain in the city as as intelligent as expecting a Chihuahua to pull a dog sled in Alaska!!!

There is a major difference between asking for help and slamming. What you did was both. If you had just asked for help, things might have been different.....but you, in your hurry to sarcasim, couldn't see past the end of your own nose, as you like to put it. If you simply wanted advise, you should have simply asked for it. You stirred this kettle, and now I think that your brew is done. I am glad that you were able to deal with your cat when it need you, I would ceartinly have done the same...believe it or not. Every one (well, almost) who comes onto this site are animal lovers.....some with questions about animals, some with answers......but if YOU look beyond YOUR nose, you will see that you are the only one who came on here to blatantly snub YOUR nose at any ceartin cultue of people...that is where your problem started. If you treat your neighbors as rudely as you have used this sight, then I can understand thier reluctance to work with you. I am sure that if we were neighbors, and you would treat me like this, I would give you back the same rudeness. As far as spelling goes, I am sure that no one is perfect, but you were the one who talked about your research books, I am sure that the word breed was in it plenty of times. I could tell you to slow down and take a deep breath once in a while, but I am hoping that you don't, I would love to be in court to see the judge throw you out for just plain old rudeness. Hillbilly

I entered this site if you would read past your nose asking for help or suggestions and all I got was sarcasm and maybe I mispelled breed and you can't spell either its not abondened its abandoned. No our cat got out was injured by a car and we built a skid with wheels and a cage and pulled him around for 7 weeks until he healed and I'm sure you would do the same for your animal. But there is a noise ordinance law in our county and if they can not abide by it then they will have to suffer the consequences or is that to big a word for you. Don't bother to answer this if you don't have anything constructive to say. Looking for some help on this site was a waste of my time.

I do not intend to go back in this column and read about "all the pyers that have been abondened".......you say that you live in the country, and you don't know how many other breeds have been abondened???? Open your eyes! It is a problem with any breed. I can understand your frustration with your neighbors dog....I have 6 great pyreneese dogs myself. And yes, the do bark!

In response to my statement I at least gave my email address and was brought up to believe if you can't sign your name shut your mouth. You don't know what I am going through with the billies that acquired your so beloved bred. I have searched the net and the only thing these dogs are good for are barking at flying satellites and butterflies at ten thousand feet. They don't shut-up Search, Catherine De La Cruz I have her Everthing You Always Asked about a PYR for reference for court. And I had a life until these jerks moved in and don't know what to do with this animal. It has broken chain 3 times crossed into our barn as my husband was working at his bench scared the living shit out of us 3 times and they seem to think it's funny. Now maybe you aren't billies and know how or can afford to handle and teach this bred but they look at this dog as just a dog and that's not the case. Every site I've gone too they all mention how they have been abandoned because they are such a nusiance. I have one more call to animal control they will be fined $100.00 and court and I do have the right in a court of law should this go further to have the animal debarked now hows that set with you? And yes I do have cats and they are no bother and not a nusiance and are well cared for and they probably live better than any one of you that have responded. And how do you think I found this site? Read the one about the person who describes from #1-#12 About so your thinking about bringing a great Pyreness into your life.

I named her Wolfen because of her wolf spots. She is 7 months old now and the same size as my German Shepard! They play together and with my 4 cats. Wolfen's big feet sometimes knock the cats over!!

This a letter written to our local Animal Control Office about your so called beloved bred I have contacted your office concerning the repetitious barking dog located across the street from us. The Great White Pyrenees which has broken chain and come into our yard and scared the living hell out of me and my husband a total of 3 times last year. The owners that seem to disregard your calls as we sat outside tonight and listened to the dog bark. My husband said we've got allot of valuable things here lighten up because we do not know what they might do. Now it has come to when my husband started his motorcycle in the drive and we have been here for going on 7yrs and they are just renters and total hillbillies with no respect to landowners such as we, they decided to crank up their boombox and blast it today because of our call to you today. I do not think the owner whom they rent from will bother to do anything about this. Please direct me to whom we must contact for further assistance in this matter. This animal is noted for barking at bugs as you well kmow. It has caused a rift in our 37 yr marriage because of frustration and we don't know what route to go with this except to court. And as my husband stated what will these idiots do to our property if we have no proof. We live in the country and when they aquired this animal figured sure what the heck we are out in the country and we can do as we please. We are landowners and they are not. so if you have any suggestions on this matter it would be appreciated.

In response to Kevin Moore and the training, you are in for a long haul. We have a two year old female who just in the last three months has quit breaking in the house. She seemed to do it when we went away and had a sitter with her. We have tried everything, had professional cleaners out several times, replaced the carpet, etc. I have found that a dog odor cleaner that removes the Phermone (sp?) smell worked best. Also try sprinkling some white or black pepper in the area the pup tends to go. Of course when they are small it's not so bad, but they grow up fast and then you have really big puddles to clean. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel, I think now she is really house broken. To the others with the crying pup in the crate, we tried everything known to man. The water bottle, the clock, an item of clothing that smelled like us, a stuffed toy etc., none of those worked. My husband and I had to take turns sleeping on the floor next to the crate with our hand inside. Now that's dedication don't you think? Raising our Pyr was harder than raising our daughter, but we love her dearly and would definately get another one. Good luck and be patient, it will all be worth it in the end!

I am a breeder of Great Pyrenees. I have read many letters from people who love their dogs and sadly some who don't want their dogs anymore and people who are breeding without any thought into it. If you love the Great Pyrenees than breed to dogs with good temperment and try to breed dogs that are healthy. I showed my dogs and learned alot about the breed. There are dogs out there who are costing people large vet bills. There are dogs out there who people have breed and destroyed the look of the Great Pyrenees by not sticking to the standard. I am a breeder that takes back any pyr that cannot be kept by it's owner. The pyr is kept awhile and placed in a home that will give that pyr love. The Great Pyrenees is a large animal and capable of adapting to all kind of situations. They love their family and give back ten folds. They are a dog one in a million. Please read this and try to keep the breed safe from distruction. There are people out there who love these dogs and want the same for them. Please stop and think what you are doing!!!!!!!

I forgot negative reason 13. Pyrs drool, not all the time, usually when they're excited, something smells interesting, or there's food present and always when you have company.

We already had two Goldens, a Husky and a "what is that?", so adding a fifth dog, and making it a Pyr, seemed like a perfectly sensible thing to do. William B. is three months old and a real pistol. Hailey Mary, our Husky, has adopted him as her own and they adore each other. We're having a little trouble with him whining in his crate and a lot of trouble with housebreaking. He just doesn't seem to get it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

So you're thinking about bringing a great pyrenees into your life. We have a 3yr old female pyr and 10 granchildren. We made it a point to socialize her as much as possible from the beginning with people and animals, individually and in crowds. She has been jumped on when she was laying down (without giving out even a grunt), poked in the eyes, hair pulled, wrestled, tail pulled, used as a pillow, you name it and she has endured it. She has never growled, bared her teeth, or shown any sort of anger. When she was younger, she would sometimes jump and knock them down but she learned that it was unacceptable. She is a great companion and a loving member of the entire family. There are also some strong negatives that must be considered that are seldom mentioned on this web site and they are the reasons that there are so many pyrs abandoned and given up. 1. They have a lot of hair and they shed profusely. You will be picking hair off your tongue constantly, you can give up wearing dark clothes, and you can plan on vacuuming twice a day. 2. They bark constantly. They bark at everything and nothing at all. She even barks laying down. The neighbors don't enjoy it. 3. They dig. 4. They will chew up bushes, small trees, etc. 5. They will escape every chance they get, ignore you when you try to call them back, and try to elude you when you chase after them. By the way, she has learned to open the gate. 6. They are big and strong. My daughter and wife have both been pulled off their feet and dragged. I weigh 230 pounds and she can pull me. 7. They are willful. They were bred to perform instinctively by themselves without human supervision. They come when you call only if it suits them and at their own pace. 8. Their hair attracts all sorts of things. They are constantly bringing in grass, twigs, leaves, etc. 9. They love to play in mud and snow. She doesn't enjoy bathing so you can plan on getting wet yourself. 10. When she lays down, she takes up most of the space in the room. Because she always has to be by someone, we are constantly tripping over her. 11. You can imagine the time spent in the back yard with a bucket and a scoop. 12. They are large enough and smart enough to reach almost any spot in the kitchen. Last month she ate a dozen frozen eggrolls that were left unattended on the counter. (She has even opened drawers.) Those are most of the bad things. They are a high maintenance dog, but for most of us pyr owners the time and effort is worth it.

My brother died very recently and has a 2 yr. old pure white Great Pyranees male named, "Smokey". He has all his shots up to date, papers, is neutered, and been well cared for. Friendly disposition, very gentle with kids, and makes a racket when intruders approach, although, he hasn't eaten anyone yet ( as far as we can tell ). If there's any genuine offers for a good home, I'll be more than willing to listen. The dog resides just north of San Antonio in the Hill Country. Thanks, Mike Beaton mijojo@swbell.net

Hi, Just wanted to say that my husband and I love your site! Last March we "rescued" an 11 yr old Great Pyrenees from some friends who could no longer give her the attention she needed. It's one year later, almost to the day, and we now have 2 more. I've since quit my job to attend professional grooming school. I graduated March 15th and am in the process of buying a grooming business. They've really changed mine and my husbands lives. We couldn't imagine it without them. I hope to be able to send you a picture of them soon, once I get the capability to scan or aquire a digital camera. Keep up the good work! Sincerely, Don and Kim Maahs Mount Horeb, WI

My mother passed away November 27, 2001 and left behind a beautiful hobby farm in the Kaslo, British Columbia Canada. She also left behind two of her most beloved beasts (as she like to call them) Yukan (4 year old male) and Nuna (2 year old female) - two Great Pyrenees that guard the farm and the sheep and were her closest companions. They are both wonderful dogs and we love them very much. My sister and I are in a dilemma. Our Mom's last wish was that the dogs live out a happy life on the farm. We want to keep the farm, and the routine of the farm but neither my sister nor I can move there. It is an 11 acre farm with sheep (only 4 at the moment), chickens, ducks, dogs and cats. Since Mom passed away, we found a family friend to take care of the farm - and give the animals lots of love, but he will be moving in the spring. We need to find someone who loves animals - Great Pyrenees -and loves to farm. We would consider a housesitting arrangement in exchange for caring for the farm. My sister and I live in Vancouver, British Columbia and have also considered moving the dogs here, but I don't think it would work. Both dogs have never known anything but the farm and protecting the farm is their job - I don't know how they would fair in the city - even with a back yard. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHERE WE MIGHT ADVERTISE TO FIND SOMEONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN HOBBY FARMING AND TAKING CARE OF THESE TWO AMAZING ANIMALS....? OR DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR US CONSIDERING THE BREEK AND OTHER OPTIONS OF HOW WE MIGHT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM...? Thank you in advance for any suggestions!!!

We would like to give for adaption our Great Pyrenees female dog. She is 5 years old, all white, gorgeous and from great ancestors: her father is Estom du Comte de Fois (the french male champion for many years) and her mother is classified "recommended" from the famous breeder Nadine Laffitte (du Neouvielle). We used to live in a 11 acres ranch in Arizona but we just moved to a high density neighborhood in California. Like any Great Pyrenees, she barks quite often and our neighbors complain. She also needs space to run. She is a great companion and guard dog and would be suited for people who own land. We are looking for a good familly for her. Thanks.

Our Pyr found us while we were visiting Branson, Mo. We realize now she is a "runner". That is the term a Pyr rescue center gave to Pyr's who roam. Her favorite thing is to go for rides. She has a 1/4 acre to play in and 3 other dogs. She knows how to lift the latch of the gate, so we had to chain it. When she has gotten the out the other dogs go also. However, she goes in her own direction. The others come home, after short visit in the neighborhood. Any suggestions? When we have found her she is so happy to see us, the big doggy smile and makes mad dash for the truck. Ft worth.

Hi! I love Great Pyrs. On February 19, 2002, a few weeks ago, we had to put our 106 lb male, Moose, to sleep due to a terrible disease. I am so sad, no on could understand how hard it has been for me. Im only 16, but I cared for Moose myself and did EVERYTHING with him. Its been so hard losing my best friend because now I feel so lonely and empty. I know I will get better after time, but it just all came as huge shock because Moose would only be 3 on May 24. It just doesnt seem real. I wanted to let yall know how much I love Pyrs and how lucky yall are. Goodluck!!! Email me if you'd like to talk. Thanks so much, Katy Also, when is the best time to get another dog, and if you know of any wonderful Pyr breeders near South Carolina that you trust, let me know and Id like to visit their website if they have one. Also, Moose was famous where I live, he was in the paper after he passed becase so many people knew him and he receieved tons of flowers, cards, emails, and phone calls from friends, family, neighbors, and even people we dont know!! He was certainly a speicial buddy!

I just wanted to drop you a note thanking you for the wonderful pictures of the Pry. I adopted a mixed breed dog of half Border Collie and half Great Pyr. She is a wonderful dog and takes most of her traits from the Pyr. Imagine if you will a Pyr with a black Border Collie bandit mask and that is my dog. It is fascinating to read about the breed because so many of the traits of the Pyr show in her. Again, Thank you for all of the valuable information and wonderful photos.

Okay, My family owns two male,who are brothers, great pyreness right now. They are about two years old. We did have one when I was a little younger but he passed on not too long ago of cancer. Right now one of my "puppies" has a skin prob that we can't get rid of no matter how many times we give him a bath. We know it may be a certain skin disease but we aren't too positive... I was wondering if any one had any ideas on how we could treat this prob w/out spending too much money. Also any ideas on how to keep our lil runaway from running off or escaping. Right now we have to keep him tied up during the day and let him in our backyard at night. We really don't like to do this but we have to, so any suggestions we would be greatful!!

I am a devoted Pyr lover, I have owned 7 of these wonderful dogs over the years. Max was my first and dearest he went everywhere with me. I had to give them up do to a divorce which broke my heart worse than giving up the husband. now I live in a apt. in town and can not have any pets! to make a long story short, I would like to know how to go about helping a poor pyr living in town is bad enough for a pyr, but this poor beautiful dog is living on a chain! He is close to where I live. I feel so sorry for him. No dog belongs on a chain let alone a Pyr. I gave my dogs up to my ex simply because I could not give them a decent home to have room to run and work.I hate seeing this poor animal on a chain can anyone help him? If there is a agency or group who this can be reported to please let me know. signed heart broke pyr lover.

I would like to own a Great Pyranees. I have been offered a 10 week old, but have a full house with 2 little pomeranians, 1 large outside dog (half St. Bernard/Siberian Husky)that is fine when puppies are given to him. My poms have survived. I have a 4 yr old and a baby on the way...Anyone think the Pyr is a bad idea? I'd like to know and why. All I have heard is good, and nothing beyond what I already deal with my babies already as far a grooming and room to roam. The poms and Niko get along great. But PLEASE tell me now if I am not making the right decision. I can't get rid of puppies. So once the new fur ball is here, he'll stay.

I love your website. This was the first place I came to several years ago when I was considering buying a Pyr pup and looking for information about them. Cassidy is now almost 3 years old and a great source of joy in my life. In a few months I will be building a stable in the feild next to my house, and bringing my twelve horses here. They have always been boarded somewhere else and Cassidy has never seen them. However, very soon she will be living with them. Does anyone have some advice as to how I could introduce my animals to each other? I don't want the transition to be overly stressful on the horses or Cassidy. Her temperment is wonderful and I can't see foresee any major problems, but I would love some ideas on how to make it a smooth introduction. Currently, I have an electric fence for Cassidy, which works very well and borders the feild I will be building on on one side. Thank you very much.

Our dog is not full blooded Pyrenees. She is half american sheperd and half Pyrenees both full blooded. The father was the Pyrenees. I was wondering if you can tell just how much she will take after her father as far as the Pyrenees goes. She is a very pretty dog who looks kind of like a Saint Bernard to everyone at first glance and she has one brown eye and one blue eye. I dont know anything about american sheperds except that they are medium sized dogs which is what her mother was.

My wife and I have have a 4 year old female named Ronnie. She is the 'baby' of the family and is the most expressive dog I've ever owned. Ronnie believes she is a 120 lb lap dog and is truly a member of the family. When we first got her we were stationed in the desert of W. Texas with open spaces, and now in N. Virginia, with great results. She has adjusted very well now that she is used to squirrels. Cannot say enough about these noble beasts. Calm, relaxed demeanor combined with upbeat, playful puppylike behavior all in one. Only thing to make them better would be a non-shed variety, but we'll live.

My wife and I have been the proud parents of a beautiful female Pyr named Starr. Starr possesses all of the good qualities of a Pyr and some of the bad ones. However, our duaghter is getting long in the tooth and we would like to get another Pyr for her to imprint on before leaving us. She's 8 1/2 years old and would love to have her own puppy. Here's the rub. She is pure white (except for a champagne water mark), 27" at the shoulders and 120 lbs. We know this large so we are looking for breeders of huge Pyrs. Can anyone help us out? Thanks,

Hello, My name is Tonia and we have had a Great Pyrennes dog for several months now. His name is Whitey and he is about 10 months old. We have recently been having problems with him chasing our goats. I think he is just playing with them , since he is still young, but if anyone has in information on what I can do to stop him from pestering the animals, I would really appreciate some help. We are really attached to him and we don't want to get rid of him. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tonia

Hi, I have adopted two pyranees beginning in July of 2001. I have been having problems with itching on my arms. This may be due to the dogs. The itching and rash has been going on for some time now. Do you know of anyone else that has had this problem with the Pyranees or long haired dogs? If so, is there any way to remedy this situation if in fact it is an allergic reaction to the dogs? It seems in the winter months it is getting worse probably due to the dryness in the house. I am using lotion and amlactin on a daily basis to relieve the itching but at times it is almost unbearable. If anyone has any suggestions or advice, please let me know. Feel free to email me Thanks Don

We have built her a dog house that she will not go into. She seems afraid of it. I have climbed in and set with treats to entise her in. She will creap in and take treat and out she goes like she is fraid. Panda is a joy to have but she is so timid. I need an email pal who can help me make this dog the best she is. We know nothing of this breed and came across her by chance. We have 70 acres but she wants to run off. She is alot smarter than she wants to appear. lol. She is stubborn but lovable. What gives. lol W

Hello....I'm looking for some health advice for a close friend. Her Pyr is 81/2 yrs old, N/M, only health problem he's had is low thyroid, til this past Monday. He woke up w/large swelling on R side of his face, about where the last molar would be. Thinking it was an abcess or possible ear problem, she took him to the vet. She was told it was probably bone cancer. We never even thought about cancer! This was also not her regular vet...so Wed., the pyr went to see the regular vet for x-rays and biopsy. We were then told she thought it was a salivary glad infection...by now the swelling had increased three-fold and gone up around the pyrs' eye, closing it. The vet removed a ton of purlent material via needle aspiration, put him on antibiotics and sent him home. Today, the next day, the swelling is back just as bad as yesterday, he can't see out of that eye again and unfortunately, the regular vet isn't in today. We have an appt. tomorrow again but does anyone have any knowledge or information on this? It just seems that an infection of the gland vs. osteosarcoma is a huge difference in diagnosis and in the meantime, the poor dog is no better! Thank you in advance for your concern....The best friend of a Pyr.

This summer I lost all of my chickens (even after they had been locked up!), 2 ducks and several cats to coyotes and fox. With much research, we are now the proud owners of the DOTTIE DOG. She is 10 months (we got her at around 10 weeks) and after she turned 5 monts, we have not lost anything. This includes not losing Dottie, as we are fully fenced, including a gate at the drive. This is VERY important for GP's. They run. I noticed that someone asked about thier GP collecting sticks. We also have the Dottie collection. She collects all kinds of things and puts them in a special place in the back yard. She is very smart, sweet and confident. The GP's seem to be like no other breed we have had and we love them!

I work for a doctor and he had them and I asked if I could have one and he didn't really tell me anything about them, so that is why I am online right now and I came across this site. If you could help in some kind of way I would really appreciate any info I could get. I live in Louisiana and so for all have been seeing is people that own great pyrs live mostly in Northern areas. Do you think that by me living in southern Louisiana is going to make any difference in the care for my new 5 week old puppy? Someone Please help. Thanks M.lee

It is a great story (written in english) with pictures. http://www.adbsys.no/nphk/1994_Pasvik_Side01.asp We love our 3 year old. She's like no other dog we have ever owned.

I've been looking for a male pyr.1 or older.It's been 3 mths. now and I keep getting dead end's. I own a pretty large house and am very active outside and would love to have one of these large dog's as a companion.BUT,I dont have a fence so I'm getting turned away.If he's gonna have a good home and constant love what does it matter that he's NOT stuck outside with a fence.Is'nt my companionship and constant activity enough?Is there someone out there who can appreciate the love and happiness that i have to give to one of these gentle giant's? Looking for my giant,jennifer

I have a registered 1 year old Great Pyrennes neutered male that needs a loving home "Maximus" is a healthy 85# snow white dog with a real heart for people. He was raised with sheep but does not seem to want to stay home with my flock.(He was given to me because I have a farm with sheep) He needs more people attention than I can give him. He is very loving and housebroke. Putting him on a chain is his plight right now and this is no life for this beautiful dog. He deserves better. Please e-mail me if you can provide a loving home for him Asap! My husband just wants me to euthanize him but I can't do that.

We have resently purchased a three month old Great Pyrenee puppy, male. We named him Sir Bently. He is the most lovable and affectionate dog, he came to us almost fully house brokened. He has the most intense green eyes(human like), you can see the intellegence in them. We also own a 11 year old male Malumute and Lab named Highway, the years with Highway have been great, I would have to write a novel on him, but he is very intellegent, human like. Highway is a little jealous of Sir Bently, you could say his nose is bent out of shape; however; Sir Bently adores Highway!

Needed: One or two Great Pyres to complete our home. We previousely owned 3 wonderful dogs, one 10 yrs old and the other two, 1 yr old. They were dog-napped on Thanksgiving 2000, and we sorely miss them. I know we'll never get them back, but we really want to find a couple more puppies to replace the void. We live in Montana and can't seem to find any in our state to adopt or buy. Please help us find a Pyre or two. Not needed for working dogs, but we have the space for them to satisfy their natural instincts. We love the breed dearly. Our first dog, Moose was adopted at 3 yrs old by us and we have been Pyre lovers ever since.

Have had Gandalf for a litte over a month now. He's 10 months old, bought from Tanimara Great Pyrenees in southern Missouri--http://www.fortunecity.com/greenfield/twyford/461/dogs.html He's really a great dog. I'd met someone a few years back that owned a pyr which sparked my interest in the breed. When my roommate, Michele, decided that we should have a dog, a pyr was my first choice. It's been quite a transition for him, (Gandalf) as he was an outside dog until he came with us, but he's adjusting extremely well. He's smart as a tack, and probably the sweetest natured dog I've ever owned. As a first-time pyr owner, I am suprised every day with how clever this dog is. When we first brought Gandalf home, we had the idea that we were going to kennel train him. As he'd never been caged before, he didn't take to the kennel very well, so we gave up trying and are returning the cage. He has yet to have an accident in the house anyway, and he seems to like his own spot in the corner where the cage was. The worst thing he's done, which was primarily our fault, while I was at work and my roommate needed some sleep, we put Gandalf in my bedroom to keep him out of trouble (or so we thought.) Gandalf broke out of my room by taking the window apart. It's a 6 pane window which he meticulously removed the two left panes by pulling the cross-piece, breaking the 2 panes of glass, and made a hole in the screen by tearing bite sized chunks until it was big enough for him to fit. Michele, my roommate, woke to the neighbor ringing the doorbell. Imagine how suprised she was to see Gandalf at the front door. He didn't run off, he just went to check out the neighbors dogs. I believe this is a good example of just how clever he is. He was obviously strong enough to just jump through the window and screen, but instead systematically took the window apart as I described. Amazingly enough, he was completely uninjured from the experience. Anyway, we love Gandalf very much despite the relatively short time we've owned him and he wins us over more every day. Please feel free to email me comments or advise. Thanks, Todd Franklin

Care of a pyr is to be expected. If she is nipping and what not get her to school. A good trainer can get it so she is easier to take care of. I have a 4 year old female, I have had since she was 12 weeks old. I also have 3 small kids. Every Sunday I pass my kids off on my husband and go for a walk and brush at the local park. I wanted something to do and I love to brush a dog. I am normally gone for an hour and she always looks great. People always stop by and say what wonderful dog.

This is ever so cool!! I own a gorgeous soon to be 2 year old lil girl whose AKC registered name is Polly's Bocain, which in Gaelic means Polly's ghost! A tad bit vain mind you but I wouldn't have it any other way. I simply adore this dog with all my heart. If we lived in a one room shack she would still be the dog for me. I have two sons with both physical and emotional disabilities. Bo literally showers them with her gentle warmth. This is the dog of my dreams and I plan on breeding her next year. If anyone has info on where I can locate a companion for her, I would be most interested. I want a lovely chap who will be her equal. She is everything to me and if she is to share my affection I wish it to be with her male counterpart. A sweet soft beautiful boy of a Pyr! I love this site and will continue to support it whole heartedly! Cheers! Mrs. Polly K Brady 106 Walnut Court Noblesville, IN 46060 (317) 776-2434

I have a 4 year old great pyrenees dwarf. She is about the size of a cocker spaniel. We got her when she was 9 months and she has not grown since. I know it is very rare to get a dwarf but i was wondering if anyone else has one and we could compare. She has alot of abnormalities but she is such a loving dog I wouldnt trade her for anything.

The first time I'd ever met a pry was about five years ago at a school for training near L.A. Our class had rescued him and we had him as sort of a companian night watchman. Well, I was hooked! I spent as much time possible grooming and playing with him. Since then I have reseach everything there is on these increbible animals and have visited any number of sites. I am married now and only rent a duplex. Although my husband is now hooked on prys, we want to offer the dogs that we bring into our lives the best home possible. This means we are waiting until we own our own home to get dogs. However I still look at sites at least weekling. I confess I'm obsessed. I am dedicated to waiting until I have the apporpriate resources for my pyr, but even then I know of no reputable places to look nearby. Everthing is out of state and some rescues require you to live in their area. I don't mind traveling when the time comes but, call me crazy I want a healthy dog and am not sure where to look. Especially since I can not get one right away. I would be happy to have a pry from actual livestock guarding lines. Again, it's the body and hip health I'm looking for. I know that many ranchers in Utah use Pyrs for LGDs but I have had no luck in finding a way to contact any of these folks. Nor do I know if any one would be willing to talk to me given it will be at least a year be for I can look for a home. HELP! and thank you all for taking care of the wonderful dogs you have.

My mother purchased a female pyrenese puppy from a local breeder who raises the dogs and goats. She brought the puppy her name and named her Precious. Precious quickly became a joy to all of us. She was so sweet and it was a joy to watch her grow and learn new things. Precious and my five year old son, Jordan, became buddies. Jordan would sit on the floor and pretend he was a puppy Precious would clean his ears on hug him by laying her head over his shoulder and just leaning on him. Every day after school Jordan asked to go see Precious. My mom loved the dog as much as my son she would dote over the puppy brushing her fur, filing her toe nails and brushing her teeth. One Saturday morning i got a call from my mom she was crying she said come quick and don't bring the boys. She had been in a car accident when she was younger and that week her back had been hurting so bad she could barely walk. I thought perhaps she was stuck in the bath tub. So I ran my boys next door to the neighbors and headed for my moms house about a mile away. As i rounded the corner to her country home I saw a sight that I will never forget. My mom was sitting bye the rode holding Precious in her lap. Precious's snow white fur was no longer white. The dog and my mother were both covered in blood. "I can't move her by myself," my mom said through her sobs. A lady from the bank called me this morning my mom said do you have abig white puppy the lady asked I said yes and the lady said well I hit it this morning on my way to work. My mom had been sitting there for an hour or more. We moved Precious and she was buried on a hill side over looking the trees. When I told Jordan about what happend he was totally devastated. He couldn't eat or sleep and he cried. His grief was enormous for the loving friend he had made. Then one day about a week later he says to me, "mommy I think grandma Becky hurts like I do and I want to take my movie All Dogs go to Heaven for her to watch. So Jordan and grandma watched the movie together. When it ended Jordan told my mom Charlie was a good dog and he got to come back. Precious was a good dog and so I am going to pray that God will send her back. I really thought this kid was in for a big disappointment. God doesn't send dogs back to life. However God does answer prayer a lesson I would learn two weeks later. I was sitting in my office when I got up and went to the kitchen to get something. I walked into the kitchen the radio was on and a trading post show was on the radio. I walked in just in time to hear a lady saying I have a six month old Great Pyrenese puppy to give away my neighbors moved off and left her. I looked down a pen and piece of paper were sitting on the table. I wrote the ladies number down and called her right away. We went to see the puppy the next day. Her name was Sugar. Of course we had to take her home. That was two years ago. We bred Sugar last year she had a litter of ten pups. Two of them my mom kept. So even though I know that God didn't send Precious back He did answer a five year old boys prayers with a pup named Sugar.

i am concerned about my pyr. and i dont know very much about them. i just got her and she wont eat very much. we are suspicious that she may have been mistreated by a previous owner because when we first got her she would cower when approched.we got her this past sunday 10-7-01,and by today 10-09-01, she is running to us when we come home and she isnt so scared of us as before. we noticed she would cower when we went to see her at the other owners house and we brought her home and have been showering her with love.we had a male about three years ago and we let someone else have him and we have regretted it every since and were very happy to find her.i dont know anything about her health background and im concerned since she isnt eating very well.could this be because she isnt use to her surroundings or the fact that at the other owners home she was fed table food and here she is fed puppy food since she is 11months old, and if that be the case, how do i get her to eat the puppy food?also, is it normal to see a little red around the inside corner of her eyes? any information you could give me would be appreciated.thank you,teresa wilbourn

I have a 2 1/2 year old Pyr female. We are no longer able to keep her in our suburban home due to her Pyr instincts for barking and running away. She ran this morning, got hit by a car while she was running in traffic on a very busy street(thank god she was not injured) and she got 1 1/2 miles away before some kind soul put her in his backyard and called us from the id tag. We feel she needs more space to roam, and we can't provide it for her. She is completely housebroken, good with kids, and very particular about who she likes and doesn't. She is non-aggresive, but barks alot at people she doesn't like. She is good with cats and other dogs, even females. She knows basic commands(sit, stay, down,come and leave it), but if she's running away, forget any commands, she just runs. If interested, please e-mail me at lyn.smith@worldnet.att.net

I have had pyers. for almost 7 years now, they are a joy to have around. My first was Jake, he is 6 years old now, then I got him 2 "lady friends"--Jenna and Bear. I have worked with alot of different dog breeds, but the pyers. are by far the smartest breed I've ever worked with. All of my dogs are livestock guardians...they stay with the goats, and I haven't lost a goat to man nor beast since I introduced these wonderful dogs into the heards. I love going into the fields with them, and I'm sure that they love seeing me commng, it is always a "battle" to see who gets the most attention. I would highly recommend these dogs to anyone who is lookng for a companion....you will never regret your decision to let a gentle giant adopt you

Your page is wonderful! You have the best great pyr. site on the web! I owned a beautiful male pyrenees for 4 years, not for show, but to protect my livestock. I have never had another breed of dog fit perfectly what I needed a dog to be; A loyal and wonderful companion, not to mention his beauty, his intelligence, and his overall love. [My best friend needed to use him to breed her female, but I was going to be out of town, so I let her keep him for the stud service...while I was away, he walked out an open gate and was ran over by a truck :( ] Your site portrays exactly what I consider the great pyrenees breed. So many people have no idea what a "Great Pyrenees" is, but with websites like this around, hopefully people will begin to realize why people like us speak so highly of them. I used your website to educate my husband on this breed. I was alreadly convinced of their "awesomeness", but now he is too. I am getting a new pyr puppy for my birthday. Haha, thanks to your site, really. Thanks for such a wonderful site, and the accurate information.

I just found your site and love it. I would like to contact someone who has been successful using an electronic boundary fence with their Pyr. Elvira (one year old) is my first Pyr and she breaks through the boundary often, whereas my two Spinones have never challenged it. We have even tried having extra prongs put on her collar and as a last resort have added our Spinones collars, as well. Elvira's ruff is shaved every few weeks. The wired area is about eight acres, in all, and very well flagged. If we fenced in an area for her it would be considerably smaller, but that might be our last resort. I recently heard of "boundary halters". I need some input. There must be some well trained Prys out there.

We have a great pyr that is almost two years old. She is an excellent dog except for one thing. We cannot get her to quit urinating on the carpet in the living room. We have had it replaced once and professionally cleaned at least half a dozen times. Does anyone have any suggestions, or ideas that have worked for them. She gets plenty of outside time, tons of love and attention. We are at our wits end. HELP!

I have a 1 1/2 year old pyr that I am looking for a good home. George is a neutered male, who lately is having some temperment problems. He is very over protective, and would have to go to a person able to correct such behavior. He is fine with my children, however, I do not trust him arould heir friends. Would like to find someone who can work with him rather than put him down. George is highly intelligent and takes corrections usually well in matter other than this territory issue. Open to any suggetions. My kids love him dearly.

We have been owned by our adopted two year old Pyr, Angus for over a year. He was terribly abused and has a great fear of men, except for my husband, who he adores. He also loves the children. We have one problem, if anyone can offer any advice. He won't do stairs. We all sleep on the second floor, and by mroning, he has urinated over the over. Seperation anxiety? That is what I believe, but don't know how to help him. Any suggestions would be great. I refuse to keep him out all night. Thanks

If anyone has any advice, please let me know. I did buy a large crate that he stays in some during the day. But I would love to let him roam, without worrying that he has eaten more furniture. Help!

OUR GREAT PYR IS 10 YEARS OLD. 2YEARS AGO HE STARTED URINATING PURE BLOOD. AFTER EXTENSIVE TESTS BY OUR VET, HE WAS PUT ON STEROIDS THAT CLEARED UP THE PROBLEM. OUR VET NEVER COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. ON JULY 8TH IT STARTED AGAIN. AT TIMES HE IS SO WEAK, HE CAN HARDLY STAND, DOES NOT WANT TO EAT, GO FOR HIS RIDES, OR EVEN EAT A TREAT. HE WAS PUT ON ANOTHER STEROID, DID NOT WORK, WAS PUT ON A HIGHER DOSE, AND NOW HIS URINE IS CLEAR AS LONG AS HE STAYS ON THE STEROID. THIS MEDICINE WILL HURT HIM IN OTHER WAYS IF HE HAS TO STAY ON IT THE REST OF HIS LIFE. HAS ANYONE OUT THERE HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS, IF SO WHAT WAS THE DIAGNOSIS BY THE VET. OUR VET CANT FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND HE IS A VERY GOOD VET. PLEASE HELP US.

Emmie is a 9 month old Great Pyrneese. She has won our hearts in the few days that we have had her and is even winning over Crosby our 2 � year old male pyr. She is on a trial run with us from a breeder in Cornville, Maine. She is 99% healthy�everything but her front right leg is in great health. She has what is to be believed as osteochronditis. Our vet said that if we keep this dog she will have to lead a laid back life so not to hurt her leg further. For a 9 month old puppy it will be hard to do. If she goes back to the breeder she may be placed again or put down. She already suffers from seperation anxiety from her brother being placed and from herself being placed and returned. Apparently she chewed through a chain link fence�The breeder didn�t think that we would choose her, but with our male, we wanted a puppy young enough to learn from him and not be bull headed over him and his already established territory. We had the opportunity to take a 3 year old female and believed that Crosby wouldn�t have taken to that very well, with her being older and already the Queen. Things are working out great with Emmie We have had no problems with her chewing at all. If you keep her entertained and occupied she doesn�t have time to chew. The pyr breed is amazing. Emmie has taken to me like I am hers and no one elses. It would break my heart to let her go. (so that is why I�m keeping her) I want to see her have a good pyr life and with us I believe that she can. If you have any suggestions on how to make a lame dog comfortable or any stories or experience with osteochronditis or related illness please e-mail me at koskey18@hotmail.com Thank you.

My husband and I have a 1 1/2 year old Great Pyrenees named Annabelle. This is a wonderful breed and we just love her dearly! However, the past 2 weeks she has been waking up around 3:00am. She remains awake, playful, and barking for anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes. This seriously disrupts our sleep (and any guests we may have) and we want to find a way to break this habit. She does get walks during the day and spends time in the backyard "guarding" the house. She sleeps in our room, without her crate. If anyone has any suggestions, or experience with this type of behavior, please email me at jenwitnauer@yahoo.com. Thanks!!

Hello...I'm the pround owner of a beautiful 3 yr. old, male G.P. His name is Austin and my husband brought him home when he was around 7 months old. The previous owners could not keep him for reasons unknown. He has become a loved member of our family. We are relocating from Illinois to Florida and are concerned that he will not adapt. We presently live in a rural area with aceage and are moving to a subdivision. I worry that he will not like being confined and the change in climate (he loves the snow and cold). It's great to know other G.P.'s live happily in FL.

Greetings & Salutations! Almost two months ago, we decided that our new home needed a dog. Having grown up with small breeds (Yorkies, Pekingese, and Maltese), I knew 2 things going into our search for "the perfect dog": I wanted a small breed, and I did not want a male!!! On a Friday afternoon, my son and I stopped at our local Humane Society to take a look at their dogs. There were tons of them going crazy and showing off their stuff. A couple caught my eye, but they weren't exactly what I was looking for; but something kept drawing me infront of a certain cage--Bear's cage. He was beautiful, and calm (A plus with a 1 1/2 yr. old boy). When I inquired what breed he was they told me that he was a Great Pyr. That night I told my husband all about him, and we did pretty extensive research about the breed on-line, the most helpful of which was this site. (I think we were sold on the breed even before we ever touched Bear). We went back the next day to "meet" Bear. We took him home on Monday (Humane Society waiting period) He has been a loving, and most welcome addition to our family. I can't thank this site enough for the wonderful information it provides, because of it we decided to complete our home with an amazing companion!

It is @ 6 months old, male, all white. He is absolutely beautiful and the sweetest dog. We have not been able to find the owner. If we become attached, we may keep him. If you're interested, please e-mail me.

I'm surprised to read so many new entries from people who believed the great pyrenese to be hearding dogs! They are ancient breeds intended to be flock and family guard dogs,at this they excel however I have yet to hear of a "hearding" pyr. Both my pyrs,neither being trained for specific work will protect my four children from anything they believe to be a danger(including resident chipmunks) when the need arises. The kids can scatter in four different directions and the dogs will simply keep a vigilent eye from a distance. I hope people adopting pyrs for work purposes will do there research and purchase there dogs from working stock only.

Great site. We have 3 adopted pyr's in our family. Snow is the oldest at 6 yrs.and the queen bee of the flock. Monty is Mama's boy and we estimate his age to be around 3 yrs. We adopted him from a pyr rescue group and he was in pretty sad shape when we got him weighing in at 60 pds. It has taken a year but he has fattened up nicely and his coat is fab. Our newest member is blizzard a sweet little female that is pyr/burmese mountain dog mix. She has only been with us a few weeks but she has already made a room in our heart. We live on 10 acres so they have plenty of room to stretch. Love the breed and would encourage anyone to research the breed before adopt/buying one of these wonderful souls.

I took him to the vet the other day and she tested him for various things including fleas, mites, allergies and mange, but could not find anything wrong. Has anyone had any similar problems? Einstein and I would appreciate any advice you could offer. Thanks much!

I came across your website while looking up some info for my son. Two days ago in our local paper, the Humane Society had a picture of a puppy - Great Pyr & looks like Husky mixed. Anyway, he fell in love with him and adopted him. He is 3 months old and looks just like the great white dog with just some gray on him. He weighs 34 pounds right now and is just HUGE! Our son is 23 and wanted a buddy to go fishing with, go to the lake and swim, go for rides out in the country (we live in a rural area), in general, just a Buddy, and that is what his name is - Bud. In just the 2 days he has been around, he has won our love and hearts. I know your website is for purebred dogs, but I just wanted to let you know that there are mixed that look so much like purebreds, and will make such great companions at the Humane Society. We are learning about the breed off of your website and he knows he has made the right choice. My husband and I have an 11 year old Rottie, and when we are left without her, my husband has always said, no more dogs...but now that he has met "Bud," I think his mind is changing. Not to replace our Maggie, but to have such a wonderful animal with such an interesting history. We have horses, and cats also, and Bud has made friends with all of them. Our son has found his "first" true love. Thank you for letting me tell you this little story, and may there always be websites that are as interesting, as well as educational available. Sincerely, Cindy Hendrix also known as Bud's NaNa. :o)

Hi! I left a message here a few days ago about finding the stray pyr. matted and all. Well, the owners called last night, and came and picked him up today. This would usually be a good thing, but the lady was older, which is fine, but she walked with a cane, and could not handle the dog. Her leash for the boy was about as thick as my finger. Apparently, she got him from a friend who lived in the city and could not keep him. This was 3 weeks ago, and he has ran away 3 times since! I told her to neuter him, but I dont think she will. I just wanted to say Thank you to everyone who replied to my questions, and that I no longer need advise for now. I am quite upset that he was going somewhere where I feel he is not going to be understood, or cared for properly. She told me that if things didnt work out that she would call me, so we shall see how it works out! If this boy doesnt work out, I am now a great pry. fan, and one day Ill get one. So, maybe Ill talk to ya'll again one day. Thanks again. Tonya

We are the proud owners of Zeus, or should I say he owns us. He is 12 weeks old now and rules the house. I told the wife that I wanted a "manly" dog as I am the only male in a house with a wife and 3 teenaged daughters. He loves to bark, play bite, dig, and rough house when not sleeping. The wife tells me I am crazy for getting him, but I turn around and she has him cuddled up in her arms loving on him like you would a child. He is definately a heartbreaker with the far away eyes and as smart as a whip. Our house sets on a half acre lot, but something tells me I will be purchasing the empty lot next to me really soon to give him room to roam.

Hi! I picked up a male Great Pyranese on the side of the road on Monday, the 7/23/01. He is not neutered, and a little matted. I was thinking about keeping him, although wasnt sure about what they like to do during the day. I will be in school, and my husband works during the day. We would have a couple acres for him to roam, once we get the fence put up. Dont they get bored and destructive during the day? Of course we would take him for walks, and bring him inside the house often. Our other dog is an indoor-outdoor dog. He is very friendly, and if we decide not to keep him, is there anyone in the Austin area who might want to rescue this beautiful dog? Please give me some pointers about these wonderful creatures! Thanks.

I have tried for 6 months keeping him w/me and the kids..but he's beginning to eat furniture. He's completely house broken and has NEVER chewed anything before now...he's just frustrated. I don't have the right set up for my dog anymore and I'm absolutely heart broken. I need to find him a good home. Anyone out there in the Dallas/Fort Worth area that can help me????

Somebody had dumped a big white dog at my in-laws house out in the country. They said it was to big to keep.Guess who has a Great Pyrenees now?, and it's not my in-laws.Her name is Gypsey, and she's loving her new home and family.Although we sometimes fight over who gets the couch!

Hi all! I love this sight. I rescued my beautiful pyr Abbey about two years ago. Abbey is a great dog, as a matter of fact, she passed the canine good citizen test about a month ago. Although she has not been herself lately. Abbey has developed the unusual habit of hiding undeath our bed almost twenty four/seven. She does not seem to have much interest in her usual activities like playing fetch and roughhousing. The only time she comes out is to go for her walks and to eat. We have resorted to banning her from our room.We are concerned that she is depressed or sick. Also, she has also developed a habit of intense howling at ambulances, firetrucks, etc. We don't mind the howling, but this is my second pyr and neither of these things has happened before. Do other pyr owner's have the same issues? Abbey just turned three and we were thinking that it might be her age. Any advice on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I recently had the opportunity to own a Pyr. I was at the local ASPCA donating horse feed to 27 starved horses. I was not there to look at or adopt a dog. However, I could not help but see a beautiful 3 year old Pyr named Bennie. He would not stop staring at me. I fell in love immediately and couldn't wait to bring my 10 year old yellow lab (Thor) to meet him. Much to my disappointment, Thor could not see the beauty that I saw in Bennie. Bennie, although much larger than Thor, even submitted to Thor. Nevertheless, Thor would have no part of him. I was very disappointed, but I kept calling the ASPCA to find out whether or not Bennie had found a home. I was very happy to hear that many, many people were interested in him and that they found a well-suited home for him. Although saddened that I am that I could not have him, I am so happy that he found a home with someone else. My vet suggested a puppy would be better suited for Thor. I was very disappointed that I was unable to find a Great Pyr puppy. I gave in to a beautiful German Shephard puppy named Moon Meadow. Although I did not adopt her, I bought her over all of the other pups because when she was born her mother laid on and broke off her tail. Thinking she would not find a good home because of this, I had to have her. Thor loves her as much as I do. She has given new meaning to his life, and he now acts as though he is 2 years old instead of 10. I really wanted a Pyr, but sometimes things work out for the best. I have always though that Pyrs are the most beautiful dogs in the world, but my two, to me, are now the most beautiful to me!

I do have to admit her digging has subsided with age. She is the best dog I have ever owned. Looking forward to celebrating many more birthdays with as my kids call her "Dad's big white moose dog."

A few days ago we bought our first pyr puppy (8 week female) from a petstore, they are hard to get around here. I took her to our vet right away that day and had a complete physical with x-rays. She had a bit of kennel cough and some minor things that were corrected but the x-ray bothered the vet. She said that it's too early to tell but possible hip dysplagia. I could have taken her back to the store but I was already in love with her. Does anyone know of the 'pelvic tilt' operation or have experience in it's success rates? She is a beautiful girl and I would not hesitate to spend what is required to help her. Thank you much! Kathy in Nebraska

We recently adopted a 3 yr old male Pyr and just love him!We're glad to see the comment about not shaving his coat. We're very careful with him in the summer and only take him for long walks in the morning and night and give him lots of water when he's in the heat. People act like we're mistreating him by not shaving him but we think a well-maintained coat and being careful in the summer is the best answer! Thanks!

I'm no professional,but I think alot of pyr lovers are going to jump on this question! From all the info I've received in my seven years as a pyr owner DON'T SHAVE !! My breeder,vet, and all the books I've seen have said that a well groomed pyr is it's best defence against all weather,cold,rain and even heat.Pyr's skin are also very vunerable to the sun,so if he's primarily an outdoor dog I'd be conserned about sunburn not to mention skin cancer.That's all I can offer you,hope it helped.

SHAVE OR NOT TO SHAVE? We live with 2 Pyrs. One stays outside to guard the goats & one comes in at night to keep us company. They are about 3 years old. I have a question regarding pyr care, a groomer in the area asked why I did not shave the pyrenees in the summer & said they would be more comfortable if I did. I alway believed that a long haired dog was better off brushed, bathed & natural. I don't know if this groomer is experienced with what's best for a pyrenees. I wanted to get some other informed opinions. Is an outside pyrenees (living in South Carolina) cooler & more comfortable shaved in the summer? I don't mind the brushing & care as things are - what's best for the dog? July 2001

Have not had but one predator attack since we got our guard dog. We have a sweet year-old who was 9 months old when we adopted her and she does not know about guarding, but she is a joy to have. Expensive? Yes! Worth it? Yes!

Hi,very happy to hear you did your research about the high cost of owning a large (giant) dog. I'm sure as a pyr lover yourself you can understand where I'm coming from when I worry about the wellfare of such a magnificent breed! We've all heared the many stories of healthy pyr's being abandoned,or euthanized just for being pyrs!!! Good luck finding the perfect dog,I'm sure you'll do great.

I had already done a lot of research before posting the letter about high prices of pyrenees. I've owned several dogs from the APA. I can't afford a very expesive dog. I was hoping to get some response from people who have recieved dogs from rescue shelter such as the one I found in Chicago. Thank you ladies, but I have done my homework and don't intend on a dog simply because I fall in love with the puppy face. I understand the responsibilities of owning a large dog.

In reference to the letter regarding the high price of the pyr. I hope that anyone considering owning a new pyr will base their decision on more then the pyr's irresistable good looks and loving personality! Our family owns two pyr's bought from a reputable breeder, we are a one income family and by no means wealthy! Our decision to adopt our giant "babies" was not one we took lightly.The guarantee of a healthy,sound great pyranees is well worth the price. There are lots of great pyrs waiting for rescue for minimum adoption fee,but please consider the expences you'll be faced with once you bring your pyr home.Giant breeds can mean giant bills,vet costs,grooming supplies,and every day accessories like collars,leashes,kennels are alot more expensive then for smaller breeds. In my opinion there is no other breed like the pyr,there the best!! Please do your research,a pyr should be your best friend not a big mistake!

In reply to the letter regarding the high price of pyrs, if you are seriously considering owning a pyr you should take a hard look at the expenses you will face once you own a pyr!! Our family owns two great pyrenees, purchased from a reputable breeder.We are not wealthy,however when adopting a breed such as a pyr, the guarantee of health,soundness and temperment are worth every penny! Pyrs are often available through rescue, but remember giant breeds mean giant bills!! Large dog pens,grooming tools,feeding,and vet bills are only a few things you'll be faced with. Everyone knows a pyr is irrisistable,but the decision to own should not be taken lightly.

It seems to me she is getting quite close to maximum standard and still has lots of growing time. Her sister belongs to my nephew and is the same size. Dad was huge but these babies look to be almost Mom's size now. Any comments?

Hi,I'm the proud owner of two male (neutered)pyrs,Kaiwa 7 and Ticco 4 . I went through with Kaiwa,what I hear alot of Pyr owners going through with there dogs continuoous barking!! Although this is a traight of the Pyr, for city dog owners it's areal challenge especially if like me getting rid of a cherished member of the family is not an option! After trying obedience classes,citronella bark collars and behavior modification I opted to have Kaiwa surgically debarked. This decision was not taken lightly and I cried and worried for weeks before making the trip to a well known vet. Since the operation 6 years ago everyone is happy. Kaiwa is able to do what he loves best BARKING and seems totaly unaware that no one else hears him!!Recovery was kwik and well worth it.Ticco was purchased 4years ago after we bought our new home in the country we love to hear his loud call telling us all is well.They will both be a treasured part of our familly till the end. If anyone knows of a pyr needing rescue in the NB area in a good country home with lots of love to share please e-mail us at coreyb@nb.sympatico.ca

We rescued Edward Bear last month in Ontario; a very big male (130 lbs) who had been thrown from a truck by a sheppard who was'nt impressed with his gardian skills... his coat was horribly mated and ravaged with severe mange, he had been starved and had several other problems caused by neglect; when found, he was nursed back to health by a wonderful vet in Ontario and is now looking spectacular... he has found our family of six people and one border collie who simply adore him more every day and will make sure he's loved for ever more; he's been getting his confidence back nicely and wags his tail to greet every one of us; he's looking very happy and eager to do things with us, including going on car trips! he's getting used to the novelty of the city and of its noises and is now 'tolerating' his collar and leash when walking on city streets; now we have two dogs 'petrified' of thunder storms and fireworks(hiding together under the dining room table)and are most grateful for this latest member of our family!

I have my first foster parent duty of a 3 yr old female. She is spayed, fully vetted and professionally groomed. I am currently testing her on goats and will know if she is compatable with livestock soon. If you know of anyone that is interested in adopting this wonderfully attentive and loving female named "Brandi", please let me know. Thanks for all of your emails for finding a new home for the Nashville Gr8 Pyr (Gabe) stray on the interstate. P.S. There is an adoption fee of $80 to pay for all vet costs. Tammy Skinner, NE Georgia

I am considering adopting a Great Pyrenees from a local shelter and was wondering if someone would mind giving me some information about the breed? 1. We own about a 1/2 acre and nearly half of that is fenced in...is that enough 'roaming room' for a Great Pyr? (We would of course play with it, walk it, also). 2. Are you (or is anyone at your home) with your great Pyr FT? We are a family of four with a Border Collie but both my husband and I work outside of the home, would a Pyr be unhappy with us out of the house during the day? 3. Is your Pyr primarily indoors or outdoors? 4. Do you have children? We have a one year old and a four year old. Our Border Collie is fantastic with them. The 1 year old learned to walk with the help of the Border and they roll all over the floor together. Any information you can give me would be great. I think they are beautiful dogs but want to get plenty of information before I move forward with an adoption. Our dogs are very much pets and are not used for formal work (herding, guarding, etc). The only work we expect out of them is good behavior, hours of playtime daily, many games of fetch, hide-n-seek, dress-up and whatever new games our kids come up with. Many thanks.

There is a male pyr at the Indianapolis Humane Society who will be up for adoption, tommorrow or Monday. Also, I know of a stray male pyr, age unknown, who needs a home - currently living in a horse stall in a barn, southside of Indianapolis. Please contact me at janemrose@hotmail if you are interested in either of these dogs.

Hello. I adopted a six 6 old pyrenease female.She is the most lovable creature on the planet!!!:) She is not a protective dog - loves everybody (two and four legged ....),does only bark if she WANTS to go outide ,but is mainly an inside dog. (Everybody loves their AC in Texas)She is so lovable and easy going.I love this giant and so does his owner, my soon to be 9 year old son.No wonder we named her "Schatzi"

This is a great site! I am constantly coming back to see any updates. The Pyr is my favorite breed, and we used to have one (Cirrus) I hope to judge the breed at competitions in the future. The pyr smiles page is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!

We rescued Boscoe last year at 8 months old. He is now 18 months old, and we don't know what we would do with out him in our family. At first he was difficult,but even with his Pyrennes stubborness, he is starting to listen and behavior has improved 100%.He is a great big spoiled baby!!!

Great Site! Our Shyla was a rescue at 3 yrs old and shes been with us for 3 more. Never had a dog so loving and loyal - does love to roam and bark at the 6:00 pm whistle everyday but love her in spite of the bad habits. Would love to find out about a good cut for them in the summer.

I'm currently fostering a 1.5 year old male, Sammy Bear, who's looking for a home. He's primarily a house dog, very smart and friendly. He's well socialized, fixed and has all his shots through Aug 2001. I have a 2.5 year old female Pyr and a cat and they get along very well. He's always lived with other animals. I'm in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

Hi. We're about to adopt a 2 year old female Pyr. She's leaving her job at a sheep farm because she doesn't stay with the sheep, and is too friendly. Friendly's good. Not hanging around may be a challenge. Will a 2 year old (never been worked with) learn? Any advice on bathing? Brushes to buy? She's looking a little scraggly -- I was let down when I saw her. I had plans to take her hiking and to have her hanging around to protect the kids a bit from creatures (ie bears etc.) that visit our yard on occasion. I'm not looking forward to having her penned up. Need a perk up -- I'm not sure, but the kids are in love with her already.

I have been contacted by someone that lives in the Nashville TN area that found a male Pyr on the side of the interstate. The rescuers say the Pyr is not quite a year old and wants to find the guy a new home ASAP. They are picking up the Pyr today (Monday 6/4) from the vet. Please email me with your ideas as to someone that can adopt the young fella. I am trying to find someone in the general area the rescuers are (Nashville, TN).

Great information on the world's most beautiful breed! The Illustrated Standard is a wonderful addition. I'm the owner of a single Pyr, the apple of my eye, my "Danny"...he's probably the most titled Pyr in Latin America. Besides his beauty, I can't stop talking about his intelligence and sweet disposition. Hope all of you can come to our web site to meet "Danny"!

He is the most protective, yet most loving dog that I have owned. I am looking for an Pyr rescue in centeral Ontario, Canada. Have you heard of Friends of the great Pyr. I have heard of them but can't find them anywhere. Are they still around? You have made my miserable day enjoyable by reading some of posts. Thank you so much. If anyone knows where to find a rescue in Ontario Canada, please feel free to email me. Thanks again suefaller@hotmail.com

My sister has a 4-5 year old male that she has to give up because she is moving to a place that does not allow large pets. Her only other alternative is the Humane Society and she doesn't want to do that unless she absolutely has to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
