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"

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!!!

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.

When I explained to her how big she is going to get she was surprised to say the least. I love her "Belle". I convinced my wife to let her sleep in our room last night. Against her better judgement, she did. This morning when I was getting ready to go to work, my wife decided to stay home.......looks like we have a new baby in the house. :)

Looking at rescueing a pyr. I have a 21/2yr nuetered male. Would like a younger female, he may adjust better to a female then to a male. Though a male may work. Have a huge fenced yard.

I are trying to find a Pyr for a pet/therapy dog/companion. (a rescue would be wonderful)My husband is in advanced stages of Parkinson's disease, and we need a companion for him and a friend for our 5 year old daughter. We lost our last Pyr, "CC", to old age and we are longing to have another Pyrenees adopt our family. We have a fenced yard, lots of room to run and we are home 24/7. We are ready for any information anyone can give us. Any age and either sex is fine...we just need a Pyr to love.

Ou family is interested in finding a Pry about 1 or 2 years old, who is house trained and socialized. We just lost our 8 year old female Pyr to bone cancer and we miss her terribly. We are an active family of four who go everwhere with our dog. Please contact us if you are aware of a Pyr in Southern Ontario that requires a home.

I didn't check if it was a male or female, but had a great temperament and was trying to get my attention. Very friendly. Please feel free to contact me at 972-725-6167.

I just found a Pyr about a month ago along a busy road. I picked her up so she would not get hit. I did not know she was a Pyr until I got home and looked it up in my dog breed book. I assume she was abandoned because no one called for her after newspaper ads, vet checks and signs went up. She gets along with my 6 year old collie/spitz male. The vet said that she is about a year or so old. Just a baby. She is very endearing....it looks like I found myself a really nice dog.

Our Pyr found us. We had never heard of the breed before. She was 6 mo old abandoned in Missouri, she found us while we were on vacation. It is quite a touching story. We loved her immediately and her behaviour was though she always knew us. We had vet there give her full checkup and brought her to our home in texas. We have had her for 2 months. she got along great with our 2 other dogs. someone left gate open and all went on field trip. the other dogs came back in couple of hours together. she has not. We have searched surrounding area. Several people saw her,it is now third day. Does any one know if she is too young to find her way back? Is tracking learned behaviour or inbred?

Hoping to find a home for a "found" Pyr we call "Theo". We know it is a pyr as the farmer down from us has two for sheep herding. We don't know its sex because it keeps tail tucked in tight. Is starting to stick around for feedings but runs off when you approach it. The beautiful gentle animal has survived an Indiana winter and we feed and water it from a specific location. I would love it but we already have 8 rescue dogs and 7 rescue cats. work at a vets just to keep them healthy. if anyone is interested please contact me at either 1(317)758-5493 or a.m. at Woodland Animal Hospital 1(317)844-2696. Theo is beautiful and deserves a better life than what has been given to him(her). Thanks for any help and for this wonderful web site.

I have a three year old named Daisy that needs rescued. She has a good temperament but she is a little sickly. She's about 85 lbs., very well fixed, house-trained, affectionate but I can no longer afford the vet bills. She does get along with other dogs as well as cats. She was orginally raised around four small children. She has been trained for "stay," "speak," and "down" commands. Because of my financial situation I cannot afford to give her the care she needs. Besides normal shots she also needs antibiotics because of ear, urinary tract, and hot spot problems. Please respond at your earliest convenience.

When I returned the call, his wife Debbie was very ill with the flu. I didn't want to disturb them until their family felt better, but since then their phone number has been erased from my answering machine!

Hi to all. I found myself a pyr pup close by and purchased him for my birthday gift to myself!!!! His name is Samson ans he was born on X-mas day. He is getting along great with my 2 1/2 yr old pyr (Fletcher) and also my 10 yr old Golden Retvr. (Aubie). I have had him for 3 weeks now, and am diligently working on house training. He does O.K. but is not there yet! It only took him three nights to get used to his crate at night, and helikes it now, he has free run of the house during the day (I do not work). He often goes to his crate for naps, with the door left open. Anyway, I LOVE my pyrs sooooooo much, I just wanted to share with someone! Happy days!

I am considering either adopting two GP or buying as puppies. Do you breed also? If not, could you recommend me to someone in the area? Do you have any rescue dogs available? I would like the opportunity of raising them from scratch and training them myself. How well do older dogs take to training? Any info you might give me would be appreciated. Thanks Don Green

After 10 1/2 years of devotion and protection, we had to put to sleep our Great Pyrenees, Marino. He leaves behind a sister, Mallory a 6 year old Great Pyrenees. She is already missing him, looking for him in his usual haunts around the house. Having them is one of the best things we have done, and even though it was painful - we gave him his wings to fly.

I have a 5 year old golden retriever male and a two year old Pyr female named Cassidy. Caleb is technically my brothers' dog and Cassidy is my baby. We moved from Tulsa about 6 moths ago and will be moving into our new house here within a few months. We own 10 horses and they have always been boarded in a stable. The place we're moving to has its own stable and 15 acres of land so we will be able to keep our horses on our own property. Now Cassidy is all Pyr, wonderful and gentle and smart and all the things Pyrs are, and is usually very good w/ other animals(strange dogs in her territory not included) but she has never been around or even seen a horse. She's pretty used to thier scent by now because whenever I came home from the stables I always tended to smell like a horse but, even then I havent been around horses for about 6 months. Does anyone have any ideas of how I could kind of gradually introduce her to the horses? I dont know how soon we will get them but probably within a few weeks of when we move. The horses are already used to dogs so we shouldnt have much of a problem with them. Its just Cassidy I need ideas for. Thanks alot!

We had to put our 9 1/2 yr old pyr to sleep last week and our hearts are still heavy. We have had several different breeds in 36 yrs of marriage but none as perfect as the pyr. They are truly the most gentle of giants! He was a house dog and after we retired had traveled in an rv with us, loving every minute of it. He was a beautiful and very loving friend. If you are considering a pyr we highly reccommend them. Obedience training is very helpful. Don't know if we can go through this again. Perhaps rescuing a pyr would be for us now.

At 100lbs he surprises me with his agility and grace. Unfortunatly, I must find a perfect home for him. I've been looking for 2 months with no luck as I won't let him go to just anyone. Please let me know if you can give a PERMANENT LOVING home to this big playful, affectionate guy. FYI his hobbies are; playing soccer with a wiggly giggly ball, teaching the cat humility, taking inventory of all his toy's before bed, meeting new friends at the dog park, diving in snow banks, cleaning his plate at every meal, and making sure he has a complete ear scratch at least once an hour.

She has also (this morning) broken through our screen in our screen room. I love her to pieces, but she is being very difficult. She was cage trained up until about 8 months. Should I place her back in her cage while we are gone? Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Please HELP!My sister has a Great Pyreness that is 5 years old. He is a great dog, but she has had him tied up for 3 of those years. It has really gotten to me and I have begged her to find a good home for him. Finally she agreed and told me I could try to find some one who has a place where he can run and give him the attention. She does'nt realize that what she has done to this dog all these years is abuse, keeping him tied up and never going out there to just love on him. My sister has five kids and does not have the time to spend with this dog, she should have never got him. The kids go out to feed him and he is so excited to see someone that he jumps all over them. The kids don't understand that he is just happy to see them so they are scared of him, they never play with him. The dog is tied up and lonely and I consider that abuse. I would take him, but I don't have a yard at all. He is full bread, but does not have papers and needs a good long bath. Please HELP The Great Pyreness.

I am the proud owner of a very beautiful Great Pyrenees named Belle (hence her name). She is now 1 year old and a joyous handful. She weighs about 80 pounds at this time, and we are expecting her to put on another 10-20 pounds in the next year. Belle is an incredibly smart girl, out-witting us most of the time! She is a wonderful, loved part of our family. This is truly a nobel and elegant breed.

Does any recall a woman by the name of Carolyn Hardy. She lived in Pa. She had over 50 Great Pyreness. I got mine from her in 91, and I must add my Yogi Bear is doing just fine. Yogi has traveled all over the country with me in my tractor. I must say that Montana and Maine were his favorite states. My pyreness is my best friend. I would never have any thing else. I love him to death.

I need advise. Our Pry. has had to remain pinned and on a long leash now for a few years. She chases cattle and was in danger of being shot by the cattle owner. We let her out to run the creeks and nearby lake shore about once a week. She has a companion dog in the pin with her and & they play & wressle alot. I walk her about 2 miles regularly in nice weather, but not much in cold & rainy weather. My daughter seems to think I should find her a home where she could run freely on a constant basis. I disagree. I think she is happy to be here with the family that raised her and takes care of her. I love my dog and want to do what's best for her. If there is anyone with knowledge regarding the happiness needs for this breed, please advise me. I want another opinion other than a family member before I find a new home where she may not be as happy.

We have a ****GREAT PYR**** and i just want to share with you the story of him . We rescued him almost a year ago when we brought him home he had lost almost all of his hair and was real nervous around people. Since then he has grown all of his hair and is the most beatiful dog you have ever seen, he is the best dog in the world with children our 2 year old daughter just lays on him and hugs him all the time the dog(Buddy) has never shown any agression at all, he is the most laid back,gentle dog in the world so if any one is thinking about getting a ****GREAT PYR**** for a house dog i would highly recomend one you will never regret it!!!!!!

No one ever looks at the large dogs so she is having a hard time finding a home. Please if you live in Texas come see her she is beatiful. She needs your help. Thank you.

Fletcher is his name and I couldn't ask for a better dog. I am in Biloxi Mississippi and have yet to find a breeder in or around my area ( within 5 hours). I would consider rescuing a pyr as well, but again haven't found any close by. CAN YOU HELP????? Thanks---

I have a 2 year old female named Nala. I got her from some people who wanted to keep one of her crossbred puppies instead of her. I wouldn't trade her for anything though. She is currently with a Pyr male so I hope to get a litter of puppies from her. She stays on our farm with my animals so she has lots of room to run and play. Pyrs are great dogs to have.

My wife and I are looking at buying or adopting a female Pyrs less than 15 mos old. We owned a Kees for 14 years until August of last year. While we feel she is not replaceable, we now feel that a Pyr would be a great addition to our family. We live on 2 acres of land outside a major city (St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. If you know of possible sources, please let us know.

I enjoyed looking at alot of the well groomed Pyr's. I am in the market to locate a second Pyr for my 3 yr. old Female (spayed). Her name is Tilly and I got her from a Huntville, Ontario rescue mission for free. I can't show her and really haven't the desire. I reside on 6 acres of farm land with a natural self sustaining pond. My friend reside just up the road on 25 acres and we freely allow Tilly and her dogs to run freely. I have noticed recently how Tilly is showing signs of needing a companion. She was raised from 6 mos old in a rescue mission with 9 other Pyr's and she misses all the other canine intervention. She travels with me everywhere in fact I even purchased a truck recently with her along for the choosing. She loves other female dogs, she is submissive, but stands her ground on our property and with me. She stands only 32" on the shoulder and weights in at usually 80 lbs. I'd never anticipate ever getting another breed although she has proven to be very friendly with all dogs, cats, rabbits, Embden geese and Arnold Siffles our past pig. I regularily have her groomed and visits to the vet. I actually feel protected with her even though she has a skittish feel for people and runs from her own bark. After 1 1/2 yrs of having her at my side. I can't imagine life witout her. Breeding, training, showing Pyr's is not my area of expertise. I can only be good at 2 things loving and spoiling her. So I know now ther is room for more love to be distributed around to another Pyr. Tilly comes from the Ottawa Valley at 6 mos old, daughter of Skye (grand Champion 98) and daughter of Willow (grand champion of vetern bitches for 98). Willow has since passed away but leaves her certain markings on Tilly. The badger like facial look with the soft set eyes and shorter snout. Jan

Just to let you readers know that the Pyr mentioned by Kristen DiMichele on 1/16 as being at the Worcester MA animal shelter has moved in with us. He is a 9 month old male named Ben. Ben was initially adopted from the shelter by a woman who previously had Lhasa Apsos. Needless to say, that didn't work out and a week later he was picked up by PFNE Rescue. Sue Priestley from Rescue matched us with Ben and he moved in with us and his new "mother" Belle, my 7 yo female, and all is well. Ben is happy and Belle is looking younger every day from all the exercise gained in her twice daily boxing matches with her adopted "son"!

It is with a broken heart that I write about my "son", Baxter. Baxter passed away in his sleep yesterday afternoon. He was 10 years old. In November he was diagnosed with cancer, cutaneous lymphosarcoma(t-cell). He was a wonderful friend and will be missed dearly. He left behind his litter-mate Georgia. We adopted Baxter when he was 4 and shortly there after the rescue service asked if we would foster another, we said yes. We took Georgia in and soon found out she had come from the same litter. She fit right in so we adopted her too. Baxter and Georgia have never been apart since. Now she is all alone like her mom and dad. We are so greatful to have had such a special member of the family. He hade us laugh, smile, cry and gave us unconditional love. He will be forever missed but always in our hearts. We love you Baxter. Love, Mom and Dad

IN REMEMBRANCE OF SNOOPY Today we had to say farewell to our beloved Senior Pyrenean, two months short of his 12th birthday. No longer will we hear his deep baritone, used by the years, at regular intervals throughout the night saying, " I'm on guard, all is well" Our devoted friend's body finally let him down, the mind as clear as a bell, but the lungs no longer able to bring enough oxygen to let him cool, the legs no longer strong enough to carry him. It was an awful decision to make, but it was made out of love, we could not let him struggle any more. Snoopy came to us as a 10 month old rescue pup with bad osteochondritis desiccans in both shoulders. Two operations later he was fit and strong. His wonderful nature made us open up our heart and home to other pyreneans in need. We have three left now and they have all been and are a great joy. Thankyou Snoopy. Danielle and Ray

A beautiful big stray dog has wandered into my life. I am sure he is at least part Great Pyrenees, possibly full-bred. I've had no luck so far in locating his owner and am very interested in keeping him. Registering him is really not an option, of course, and it doesn't really matter to me at all. I have a few pictures I'd like to share with other Pyr owners to get their opinion on his pedigree. I suspect he is about a year old, and about a hundred pounds, possibly with a bit more growing to do. I'll be taking him to the vet on Monday. I've read quite a bit on the net about the breed, and he seems to fit the profile, except that he doesn't seem to be territorial in that he has no problem with strangers, either two- or four-legged. If anyone would like to see the pictures, please email me. Thanks!

We are trying to register him with the AKC, however we recieved him from a friend of ours who had serious medical problems and could no longer take care of him. She had him for 6 months prior to giving him to us. Now, we have all his old paperwork, including his pedigree, however we can not have the privious owner sign anything, as she is no longer around.

We added an wonderful addition to our family - a Great Pyrenees - in May/1999. Unfortunatly, we lost touch with the breeder prior to obtaining the registration papers. We know that one parent came from Wisconsin & the other from New Mexico. We also know that a Grand National Champion(by the name of Dallas) was bred from the same parents. The breeder was located in Bowie, Texas. The litter was born the last week of March/1999. Need to know if somehow, we can still obtain the papers or if we are out of luck. Any info is appreciated...

Our big white clown is going to be neutered in a couple of days since he has one testicle which hasn't emerged yet...we were told it will cause cancer if it remains hidden inside him. The vet has said he could remove our pal's double dew claws at the same time since they might be a safety risk to him. They don't seem to bother him and he's never gotten them caught on anything, and i know they're a trait of the breed, but...i don't want to risk him being injured later. I don't know what to do. Any thoughts about leaving them intact or removing them? Thanks for your thoughts. Give all your gentle giants pats for me.

Our family had a Great pyrennes whom we loved and loved us back many times over. After the family had come to a point in our lives where we each needed to move, we had to give him up for adoption to another loving family. I'm sure they got the best friend they ever had. I'm now looking to find a pup to raise and become best friends with. I live by myself and quite honestly, would love to have the company of a best friend. Please refer me to a quality breeder or rescue organization if the opportunity arrises.. Thank you very much! Ron Peace

Just looking at the web site to collect information about the breed. I have been thinking about a Great Pryenees for a pet as it is time to replace the best friend I had that passed away a few years ago. Since I lost Hannah (a Doxie)it has been hard to think about replacing her until now. Now is the time but I wanted to be sure before I bought one. Any information, positive or negative, will be helpful. Thanks.

Have a 2 yr. old Pyr and an 11 yr. old golden retriever both males, my husband and son were gone for 10 days and mid trip the pyr pulled something on my daughter and I that scared us both. We were at the kitchen sink getting their food ready,we do not feed them together because they have fought in the past,the pyr crouched down and started to growl like he was protecting his food and we both backed off and I screamed NO he stopped as quickly as he started. My guestion is this was he trying to show dominance to us because the men were gone or did he think the golden was coming into the room? Two days later he growled at the golden for walking into the room for no reason that time I closed the gate to separate them looked at the pyr and said No called the golden over greeted him and let the pyr know I was boss. This dog is huge and for the most part very lovable and gentle but I wonder if a shock collar is a good thing seeing that I could not control him if he decided to attack. Both dogs are intact. Any suggestions?

I just love this site. I am a Pyr owner for the second time. I have written last june and I noticed some notes on Pyrs scratching allot. I have the same problem and i also take real good care to have her groomed regularly. She is clean and never matted, no fleas, just hot sensitive skin. Does anyone have any suggestions. It has gotten better since I give her vitamin e every day along with special treats that help the skin from getting dry and always put a little oil in her food. Just looking for some help. Again, I love the breed so much. I can't imagine being without a Pyr in my life ever. Thanks for listening

Any suggestions for us? We're looking at a beautiful Great Pyranese/collie mix puppy at our local animal shelter who's 7 wks old and male. HUGE paws and darling but the things I've read about them (ignore commands, don't train well, have dominance issues within family, very territorial) truly concern me...despite how cute they are now. We have a big male golden, 8 yrs old, and understand what a large dog needs, but would hate to adopt and then have it not work out due to temperment issues. Our kids are 7 and 11 and the youngest wouldn't weigh as much as this dog at full grown stage, which I know is just around the corner! Also..are GPyrs always white? One book we have shows snow white dogs, but another at the shelter made them look like fluffy St. Bernards with brown and white markings. The pups have collie coloring but the pyr muzzle, size and fur density..and I have to say didn't seem too interested in visiting with us. Kind of indifferent to people at this point, but maybe because they're so young? Help with any thoughts or suggestions! (or websites I can read up on) Thanks much!

He stays inside the house during the day because we don't have a fenced yard. Do you think he hates this? He doesn't seem to mind and we make sure to play with him a ton when we get home.

This is quite a site. I'm enjoying reading it. I have recently adopted a 4 year-old female Great Pyr from a private party. I love her. She is quite the girl. I have her professionally bathed and she still scratches - almost constantly. I can't find any fleas. I was told these dogs have a very sensitive skin. I feed her Iams dog food and am wondering if I should be giving her something else - other than the chicken-based food. Do you have any suggestions? I just don't want her to hurt herself by scratching so hard. I groom her all the time. Her hair is not matted or anything. Also, being a little unfamiliar with the Great Pyr, I see she has two dewclaws on her hind feet. I never saw this before. Someone told me it is a trait of the Great Pyr. I love to pieces. She is a Big "Gentle Giant" but seems to have a mind of her own many times. Thank you and everyone on your site for sharing their questions. Maybe someone can help me with mine. Bonnie Krieger

A year ago I resqued my female pyr ( Dharma ) from a dog pound. She was left to die in the desert in Rio Rancho New Mexico. She was evidently beat by a man because it took her a month before she would go near my husband. Now she is a wonderful part of our zoo and loves my husband. She is especially good with our Pygmy goats. Just want to reinerate that people should always try to adopt a pyr. Dharma was only 18months old when we resqued her so there are young pyrs out there to adopt you just need to look. They are wonderful and would suggest the breed for anyone that has fenced property and room for them to roam. We also have an Austrailian Sheppard lab cross and a Golden Retriver, they have there tifs but any family does.

I am the proud "parent" of two Pyrs, Scout(18 mos.) and Bailey(15 mos.). They are the most wonderful dogs in the world. It amazes me how after a long day at work I can look into their sweet eyes and forget about all of my problems. That phenomenon is something only a Pyr owner would know about. The long, white dog hair on all of your black clothes and the occasional slober is a small price to pay for all the JOY they bring you.

I am trying to find a Great Pyrennes breeder that is relatively close to Charlotte, NC. Do you know of any breeders that are in Atlanta, or anywhere in the Carolinas? If not, can you suggest a good breeder that may be able to sell a dog remotely / via the Internet, pictures, and phone conversations? If a trip is necessary, it can be arranged. Thanks for any information you can provide.

Does anyone have any suggestions for dealing with an elderly pyr who won't us sleep? When we are up she is fine but as soon as the house is quiet she becomes restless and demanding of attention. It has become impossible to get a night's sleep. We have tried leaving on lights and the radio without success.

Hello fellow Pyr lovers. We own a beautiful 2.5 year old male named Falcor. He is an important member of our family. Though we acquired him at 1yr. old. he had no obedience training and is hard to handle. We have already been to court once and been fined for is habitual barking. The other big problem is that no matter what we try, he refuses to stay confined to our back yard. To the extent of breaking down fences and digging under the neighbors fence to enter their yards. The people who live around us are not as big lovers of large dogs as we are and this is causing alot of tension in our neighborhood. Can anyone give us some advice on how to correct this behavior?

We have a 19 month old Pyr and a 14 month old Newfie. What a pair, both males so we have dominace problems occasionally but most of the time great friends. the best thing is both dogs love our cats. Our Pyr does like to cahse the cats but never to harm only to hassle. What wonderful depth to the personality and soul of both breeds. We're lucky to have two acres fenced in for our buddies. Here's to the big guys.

Hi. Has anyone visiting this site by any chance lost a dog in British Columbia? The one we found is quickly becoming a loved member of our household, but we do not want someone else grieving a loss if it was truly an accidental one. I will not give a description here since the rightful 'owners' :) will know that...no information-fishing expeditions, please! If you have lost your dog and are hoping for happy reunion, please email with a detailed description of the creature, along with when, how and where the parting happened, so we can figure out if the one we found is yours. In the meantime, we are giving excellent care and will continue to do so, whether this turns out to be a temporary or permanent addition to our family. Thanks in advance for information, tips, and/or encouragement.

I have a 9 month old Pyr named Polar Bear. We got him in Feb. 2000 after careful consideration. We went through the crate training phase and by the time he was 5 months old, he was completely trained-I'm lucky I was home during the day to be able to let him out often. My children, ages 4, 10 & 14 all love him to peices. We all went through the puppy biting and nipping stages (they have the sharpest puppy teeth I've ever seen) and came out of it with battle scars. He did finally learn not to nip or maybe he just stopped after his adult teeth grew in and he stopped teething. He digs a lot and barks a whole lot but I've taught him not to bark so much at night and being a house dog helps! He's has the most laid back personality; I'm wondering whether this calmness is normal for the breed. He never really played alot as a smaller puppy and seems to have a very low metabolism. He's 84 lbs now at 9 mons. old and will probably get much larger. His favorite game is to lead us around by our hand or our clothing and he likes to fetch! He's very gentle and loves to be petted by everyone in the neiborhood. We all love our Polar Bear dearly!

We purchased our first Pyr in February of this year. She is incredible, she is now 6 months old and is 60 pounds. "Callie" is the most loyal and lovable dog we have ever had. We have been avid owners of German Shephards, but have found that the Pry is our dog of choice. It was more difficult to house break her than other breeds, but now she is completely house trained. Callie is very independent, but does listen more often than not. I have never owned a dog with such a wonderful disposition and personality. We also have a shepherd and two cats who she gets along with famously. I would recommend this breed to anyone considering purchasing a dog. However, keep in mind, they are harder to train, are very independent thinkers,have lots of hair and require alot of your attention. Seriously consider a rescue if you don't have time to housebreak.

This has to be the best site I have been to! My husband, myself and our two boys own two of these beautiful giants. Our male, Rody, was bought as a pup for a guard dog for our boys. Belle, our female, was given to us at the age of 5 because her owners did not like to hear her bark and she was not aggressive enough for them. They are the best companions and protectors I could ever ask for. Both are lovely in nature and are fully a part of our family. They have a fenced yard and the run of the house, too. Both are great in the house and never get into anything. I would like to be able to rescue a pyr if I could find a place here in Tennessee. Does anyone know of a rescue place around my area? Also, if anyone would just like to talk about them just e-mail me. Sandra

Mariah just turned 9 months old. She's been with our family since she was just 6 weeks old. When we first brought Mariah home, we had a lot of concerns. She drank constantly, rarely listened to commands and was seemingly impossible to house train. Now that we've taken the time to let her grow up a bit (and boy did she grow) she has become an absolute wonderful dog. She is housebroken, listens well, rarely barks for no good reason, and is great with all the members of the family. Mariah loves to play fetch and Frisbee (which I understand is not typical of the breed) and tug of war. The only bad habit that she still has is her tendency to chew anything she get her mouth on but we are working on overcoming that. I am so glad that we did not give up on Mariah during her most trying times, we love her to death!!

I have recently rescued a 3 month old pup that would have been "knocked in the head" due to congenital blindness. He is an only dog and is very lonely, even though he has adapted well, he is alone in the backyard most of the time. I would love to find a home for him where he would have the companionship of another dog. He is purebred and beautiful, and very sweet, loves to be held. That may be difficult some day. Please contact us if you need a sweet baby like "Polar Bear". Thanks.

Reading the list, I see so many people interested in "having a litter of pups". I work in a shelter and would encourage people PLEASE do not do this because you think it would be interesting or cute to have puppies around. These are huge dogs and they are so often the ones that cannot find homes out of shelters and end up being put down. It is heartbreaking to see. Enjoy your dog, have it fixed and encourage rescue of those out there who were part of those cute litters of puppies who are now abandoned and needing new homes.

Our 11 week old "Sydney" just moved in with us 6 weeks ago and has stolen the heart of all who meet her. The Pyr breed is all but unheard of around this area of S.W. Ontario. We met our first Greart Pyranees while vacationing in Australia (thus the name Sydney) and we also fell in love with Fara as soon as we met her. We live on a 200 acre farm and "Syd" will have lots of room to wander. We are planning to build a run for her since she will be sleeping outside and will have to be confined on some days. Does anyone have an opinion as to size of the run and wether or no to cement the floor?

I have one Pyr that I rescued from the pound. Not sure he's purebred but has all the traits of one and my vet feels like he is. He is a "great roamer", lovable, caring, very loyal. He is confined in an acre yard, but if he catches a gate open, he is gone. He never goes far and always comes home. He has had a Chocolate Lab for a companion for the last year but now the Lab has returned to his owner. We are currently looking for another Pyr, either to buy or rescue. Please let me know if there is a Rescue Program or reputable breeder in/around Kentucky. Thanks!

I was astounded by the 'hits' on your website. I feel I must comment regarding the breed. I am owned by a 7 year old Pyr named Carlie. I received her as a present from a friend at seven weeks. I have been a dog breeder for 25 years (Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Yorkshire Terriers) and feel I must comment upon the amount of propective 'breeders' on this site. Please, consider before you breed, breed only the best to the best and DO NOT breed dogs (or bitches) who have not be OFAed (hips and elbows). Please screen your puppies new homes thoroughly, sell only on non-breeder contracts, and offer to take the puppy back if for some reason the new owners cannot keep it. Obviously, by the number of rescued and abandoned Pyrs on this site, many prospective owners cannot get past the cute, little white fluff ball. They buy a puppy on impulse (because it is soooooo cute) and then when it starts to grow (and they will) and shed (and they do) and bark (and man can they bark) and wander (they will), they get rid of them. These are wonderful dogs and they deserve wonderful, loving homes FOR LIFE. So please, please research the breed carefully (there are thousands of sites on the internet). Keep in mind Pyrs grow to be a magnificent 90 - 180 lbs. They have a huge, heavy coat of hair that requires regular grooming. They were bred to guard and one of their ways of doing this is to bark to let prospective intruders know they are on duty. They do tend to wander (they were bred to guard vast areas without human supervision). They are independent thinkers (same reasons as for wandering before). If, after careful, thorough research, you decide to go ahead and get a Pyr, you will have chosen one of the most loyal, wonderful, loving, devoted guardians of house and home that you could wish for.

Our family has had the pleasure of living with a dear friend, our Pyr, Traveller, for over seven years. He was a rescue dog and his exact age is not known, but approximately 10, 10 1/2. Today my husband and I must take him to the vet where he will be sent to doggie heaven. This is heartbreaking, but it is painful to watch him lose all of his body functions. We must do what is best for him, not what would make it easier on us. For those of you who will be lucky enough to continue to own these noble, stoic, tender, loving, silly wonderful animals: enjoy. They will change you for the better.

I was glad to come across this site. This is my second Pyr, I lost my first little girl (Sasha) a year ago January to Cancer. I didn't last but a month when my new little girl (Ashley) came into my life. She is 19 months old and I love her so much. You have to own a Pyr to know just how truly they are gentle giants.I would be curious to know something. Both my Pyr's did not bark or lick like most of the dogs I have had in my life growing up. The only time she barks is if she is outside and wants to come in and even then its one bark every minute or so. Is this a trait or what?

We have a 2 yr. old great pyranese. We live in Las Vegas where it is very hot. Our Pyr lives both inside of the house and out.Last week I took her to the groomers to cut some of her hair down. They ended up cutting her very short. However,they did not shave her. I'm wondering if it is ok to cut her hair? She seems happy!!

We are driving to Florida to buy another GP puppy in 3 days,can't wait.If everything works out ,hopefully we will have a litter of pups next summer.

I am the very proud owner of a 4 month old pyranese, Mariah. I couldn't be happier!! She is absolutely beautiful, has a wonderful and gentle personality and is a welcome addition to our family. This is my first experience owning a pyr and I'm curious to hear from others who own them...... Do your pry's seem to drink A LOT of water? Mariah is always drinking and consequently needs to be taken out constantly which is making house training a bit more of a chore than I had hoped it would be. Also, she really seems to have a mind of her own, doing exactly as SHE pleases only listening when it's to her advantage (ie. treat time). Thanks for any input and any tips you may have for me.

Her telephone number is 812-729-7818. She has 4 full grown Great Pyrennes. This 3rd litter had 7 puppies in it. So if you are looking for a beautiful puppy call her.

I looked for a Great Pyreness for quite awhile till I found mine she is 9 months old and very intellegent. She has an unbelivable nature that just doesn't quit, loving careing and protective over us. She plays with smaller dog very gently and of all the diffrent breeds of dogs that I have had this one is IT! Yes they take a little more time to take care of but it is worth it. My Pyr is fairly large for 9 months she weighs a little over 100 lbs. We feed her the best we can get which is lamb & rice and maybe this is why her coat and her body is solid. The vet says that he has never seen a female like her as to size and temperment. Well I'm proud of her.

My 7 month old pyr is the most wonderful dog I have ever had, my husband had thought our golden was great until we got Champagne. I got her from a wonderful breeder on Lake Ontario. Her and I had a 31/2 hour ride home on 4th of July weekend, in those hours her and I bonded like I have never done with any dog before. She does not like to let me out of her sight, and she still think's she is just a fluff ball however at 80 pounds and seven months old it's quite funny when she trys to play lap dog.She too loves to sleep in the bathtub, she loves to swim, and she has mastered roll over, and playing dead when you pretend to shot her. I can't wait to get another!

What a wonderful page! I am the proud owner of 3 of these wonderful dogs, 1 male and 2 females. I am awaiting my first 2 litters of puppies in mid January. I never thought I would be the owner of a GP let alone have puppies on the way! I have a problem with the male and one of the females. The male does not want to stay in the pasture with the sheep, he is climbing a 4ft cement wall to get to the cyote den across the road. When he climbs, the female goes with him while the other female stays with the sheep. With the females carring pups, I am very concerned. Can anyone give me some ideas? Please email any help.

In response to the last post, my Great Pyrenees lovcs to swim and to chase sticks, she is wild about water and even splashes with her own paws and then catches the water in her mouth. She wanders when off leash, she will come back when called only when she is ready to. She goes about 1/8th of a mile away and no farther.

We've had our Golden Retriever/Great Pyranese mix male for 3 weeks now. He's a lot of work, but the cutest pup ever! He's very vocal and chews constantly. Still trying to get him hooked on rawhide chews. Would like to know when the chewing (puppy teeth) will end and when I can expect house-breaking to be successful. I read where it is impossible to house-break a pup before they are 3 months old -- so far I believe it. He loves lying in the bathroom next to the cool porcelain!

I have a Pyr female, Royal, 8 years old that I regretfully must find a home for. She is a very loyal and loving pet, however, some problems have developed that we have not been able to control. She has begun seriously chasing cars, hating cats and killing chickens. I run a bed and breakfast and have many cars traveling in and out of our 35 acres. She caused an accident in which our male Pyr was seriously injured (Benjamin is okay now), has killed numerous chickens, and chases our cats every chance she gets. I love her but she has created so many problems here and I am afraid that she has become a great liability to my business. I must find her a home. If any Pyr lover can provide a cat, chicken and car free home she would make a loyal pet and friend. I have had her since she was 7 weeks old - she does not have papers. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My wife is heart-broken and emotionally worn from caring for the last Pyr, she had to be carried form place to place after her second leg was redendered unusable. I would like to purchase a puppy for my wife to surprise her for Christmas. She has been a godsend to unwanted or sick Pyr's. I would like to see her have a puppy Pyr, she deserves it. If anyone has a Pyr puppy for sale please call me at work: David Holmgren 802-447-0220 from 7:50-2:30 eastern. Please do not use my E-mail. I want to surprise her. Thanks.

Hi everyone! Cheyenne has gotten very tall and long since the last time I visited this site. I'm still having problems with her putting on weight. Underneath all that fur she looks like a greyhound. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm taking her in to get checked for worms again, last time they didn't find any. I've seen other Pyrs and there much broader. She's 13 months old and 68 lbs, but tall. She gets a lot of exercise which is probably contributing towards her light weight. Anyone have any insight into her light weight?

I have a beautiful 6 month old female Pyr and she's my baby. The couple I bought her from mentioned that thier male Pyrs were "wet mouth" and the female was a "dry mouth". This was about how much they drool. Cassidy(my G.P.) is obviously a dry mouth, but I was wondering if some Pyrs are bred to be dry mouth or if its just the males who slobber more or somthing else. If anyone could tell me about this I would really appriciate it. Thanks!

Hi, I bought a Pyr without papers and she is very colorful! She is 11 months now and has a full badger mask and brown and black ticking all over her silky, not very long coat. She has a beautiful head with tight eyelids, and does not drool. She is 27 inches at the withers and weighs over 100 lbs. I only saw one of her brothers at 8 weeks, and he had twice the coat and faded head markings in gray. She has double dew claws in back. Part of her face mask is black to the root. In surfing the web, she has the coloring of a Pyrenean Mastiff. Does anyone else have such a heavily marked Pyr? When we go out, people think she is a mix! Do they ever breed back to the Pyrenean Mastiff to regain size or color or are they just closely related? Or is she a Blaireau, whatever that is? She is striking to look at, and her personality matches what I've read, such as trash-stealing, gentleness towards other creatures and children, and barking/awake at night. Does she sound like a purebred? I need a scanner!

I, am again the proud companion of a Great Pyrenees. There I was, a mere child of three or four, and the first thing that I recall, to this day is that of the Great, huge (I was twenty four inches at the shoulders, He must have been twenty seven at the withers), Pyrenees dog, Ike. I remember Ike's death as the first of that kind of thing also. So now, I find myself in the company of another Great Pyrenees mountain dog. I want to name her Bareges. I am not quite sure how I will pronounce the name. If someone has been to Bareges,South France, Please send your phonetic spelling of the name.

Great Site! we rescued our pyr "Goliath" at 7 months and now have had him for 2yrs. when we tell people his name they say, "of course!" he lives with our two female goldens and is everybody's guardian angel. It is amazing how most people don't know the breed. If we had room I would get at least two more--the sweetest and most loyal friend and not as hyper as my goldens. If you are thinking about this breed, Pyrs are the best!!

My friend just found a lost Great Pyranese on the highway the other day, and I am watching him. We have contacted the Humane Society and put an ad in the paper but have heard nothing for a week now. If the owner doesn't come forward, I am going to keep him and wanted to learn more about the breed. He is a very well behaved and friendly dog, but he bolts every time I let him out.

I am glad I found this guestbook. I have already learned alot from reading this site. I have adopted a male pyr mix about 1 1/2 yrs old. We have had him since August and got him neutered in September. He will not stay home, which I have learned is normal for this breed. I would like some advice on what to do since I am not familiar with this breed. Does an underground fence for stubborn dogs really work? He is getting used to us and is protective of his property, which is just fine. Sam is aggressive toward other male dogs. One came over and he was very upset. My husband heard him and went outside as this kind of deep growling and hissing (which he described came out of a Stephen King novel) was alarming. Is this normal? He is very lovable otherwise. I would appreciate any advice. Thankyou

Our elderly widower has a 1 yr. ole pure white Pyr.that we are inheriting with our four and six year old children. W.D. (for white dog, loves our home and hangs out here nearly all day and sometimes most of the night. We live in a very rural area. I am training W.D. on verbal and hand commands, of which he seems quite quick to learn. I do not know much about this breed of beautiful dog, so anyone please fill me in on any special dietary needs they have, their lifestyle preference and so on. I know he is very playful and mischievious, but I need to know more to properly care for him as it appears we may soon have complete ownership with the widower's consent. THanks to all who respond.

I have had 2 Pyrs, and they are wonderful. The one I have now is 7 months old and he is the best dog. A little spoiled, but what can you expect. He is wonderful with my cat and my cat actually likes him. This is the only male I have had. He is so willing to do anything and help me out around the yard. Elvis also loves the water. He usually gets into the neighbors pond next door. If anyone would like to contact me, please do so.

I am still looking for that special home for Aspen, my six year old spayed female Great Pyr. I am really quite desperate as I need to find this home on or before the end of November. I had pre-arranged with two families to take Aspen but unfortunately circumstances changed with both families resulting in this desperate scramble. If you or someone you know could take this beautiful "girl" for four months, Aspen and I would be so happy. Be reassured that all costs of care will be covered during this short time. Looking forward to hearing from you!

We have just moved to the San Diego area and we had to leave one of our pyrs with the in-laws (pyr breeders in PA so she is quite happy), however our other pyr, Crystal, is quite lonely. This became quite evident when she saw another pyr at the beach, she was so happy to run and play with her. So I'm looking for pyr owners in the San Diego area that would like to gather at the beach or pyr clubs where Crystal can play with others of her kind. thank you

Hi, I own a 7 month old GP(or he owns me rather)named Dakota, who I have only heard bark maybe 3 times his entire life and I'm with him all day, I guess I should consider myself lucky, but wonder if that's normal, reading all the other entries about excessive barking. But my big concern is all of the cancer that is reported with the GP, is there anything that can be done to prevent or delay this. Why is Cancer so abundent in GP. They are wonderful creatures. Would like to chat with other GP owners. Angela

I have had 3 great Pyrs. We got our Latest Pyr as a Rescue dog. His name is Roy and we love him very much. He was abused by his previous owner ,but has make great strides in the two years we have had him. He is gentle with the cat and our two children. He loves to backpack with us and go camping and loves our other Dog Nugget.She is a lab\huskymix. I thought she would mourn herself to death when our last Pyr Boomer died of cancer.When we Brought Sir Roy home she became her old self again. Roy expresses the most emotions I have ever seen in a dog. From exuberance to mischief. He is a great friend to me especially. He takes great pride in riding in the car with me at night in the winter and being "guard dog" .He has also thwarted a daytime home invasion robbery at our house a few months ago during the day. He sleeps inside at night to protect our house and to keep him from barking to much.He is the second Pyr we have gotten through Rescue. He was 14 months old when we got him . If anyone is looking into a Great Pyr a Rescue dog is something to consider. There are many Pyrs who need a good home. They make great family pets and are mellow .I can't imagine life without a Pyr. He is a great protector and friend and a wonderful companion !!!

Was recently given 2 non registered male pyr pups. The vet thinks they are indeed full bred just not the best example of their breed (hair too curly, no double dew claws). They have badger markings, are cute as pie, and are currently 9 weeks old. The problem, I can't keep both!!!! So, I'm looking for a good home for Otis. Have e-mail pics I can send, there is a small adoption fee to cover the vet costs to date. You must know about Pyrs and have vet references. Located about an hour from Asheville, NC.

I have an 10 month old GP female 101 lbs, and have some questions. 1. Is she full height yet? She is about 28 inches at the shoulder. 2. She still has a full badger mask with no sign of losing it, plus alot of ticking. Is she rare? People keep asking me what she type of mix she is! 3. Her fur is not nearly as long as other GPs, are some shorter haired than others? (Her parents are working livestock guards in Arizona, but grandparents were confirmation champions.) Just to comment, she does not drool at all, she was very difficult when she was 3 to 5 months old, disciplined for growling with plastic lime. Now is perfect with children and small pets, too. One day 10 tiny papillon puppies used her for a bridge and slid down her belly, one by one. She must be locked in at night or would bark nonstop! Also, she continues to steal food when given even a moment, and for some reason thinks the garbage can is her other food bowl! Any ideas on food thievery prevention and car riding with multiple children in Rodeo appreciated (she steps on everybody - and they weigh a lot less than she does!)

Can someone help me subscribe? If I get the address set to my e-mail I can send the e-mail with subscribe, I just can't click through. Also, I'm having a bit of a problem with my 9 week old puppy. He is making strange snoring sounds, mostly when he is sleeping, or just awaking. Sometimes, it is a snore, but other times it is something else. It seems to involve his entire chest area. The vet isn't exactly sure what is going on, his heart and lungs sound fine. Blood work showed no sign of either allergy or infection. Just to be safe they have him on vitamins (for very mild anemia), benadryl, and antibiotics. He got better for a few days but seems to be having trouble again. One suggestion we were giving was a cyst or inhaled obstruction in his sinus cavities. This is my third pyr and I've never heard anything like the sounds this puppy makes. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Brandy Parks bluebonnet_72@yahoo.com

I enjoyed your site. I would like to know one thing though. Do Pyrenees have the same "drool problem" that Newfs and Saint bernards suffer from? I have owned two Newfs and we are considering getting another dog. My wife did NOT like dealing with the drool our Newfs unfortunately produced in large and consistent quantities. Someone told me that Pyrenees do not have this problem, but I am skeptical due to the resemblance of the heads. Could you please give me a rating on the relative drool factor of Pyrenees? Are they like Newfs/Saints, more like Irish Setters/ Golden Retrievers, or more like German Shepherds/Wiemaraners? Thank you, K M Barden

We have tried everything (training, shock collar, citronella collar) and nothing helps even a little bit. We can barely let him outside and this makes all of us very sad. I don't want to reprimand my beautiful pup everyday for the rest of his life. Any advice?

It's been a while since I last checked the guestbook, and I was very happy to see all the new messages up. Our Great Pyr, Goliath, is five months old and a handful. He is in a kennel, but when he is out he sure is a fiesty one. Goliath is about 50 to 60 pounds, and around 18-20 inches at the shoulder. We are working on building attentiveness in the training, and since he is out about three to four times a day, we have had results. I do have a problem, though, and would appreciate help if anyone can provide some. Goliath is gentle, but he loves to chase our free range roosters, and that, in my experience, leads to killing, and that is the last thing we need from a dog we obtained for the purpose of livestock guarding. How do you break a Pyr of chasing the chickens? Will he break himself of this in time? I have not ever been forced to resort to physical punishment with my other dogs, and I do not wish to do so with Goliath, either. I could really use some advice from someone who has encountered this type of problem in their Pyrs. Pyrs are magnificent dogs, so intelligent and inquisitive, and I have a great respect for the breed, and its sensitivities. I prefer a positive reinforcement method, if possible. Also, does anyone know what sort of training goes into the LGD? I would definitely appreciate any help on these subjects. Thanks. PS: Great site! Keep up the good work!

Today the vet told me that the lump on Josie's leg is an Elbow Hygroma. It is very common in large breed dogs and it's caused by constant trauma, usually when they lie down on a hard surface continuously. He said it isn't life threatening but there isn't much to be done and recommended providing something soft for her to lay on. Does anybody have any other comments or suggestions?

There is so much not to like about our 10 month old Pyr, Josie. Our house is always full of hair. (I've never eaten so much hair in my life.) There is nothing in the kitchen or anywhere else in the house but especially the kitchen that isn't within her reach. She gets in the garbage no matter what we put on top of it. She chews up the shrubbery, digs up the grass, and leaves large and frequent piles of poop to be picked up. She's willful, disobedient, and sassy and barks constantly. Yesterday I noticed a slight limp and found a lump on the back of her right leg. Tomorrow the vet will tell me it's nothing to worry about.

I have GP called Pico (after the highest mountain in the Pryenees) she is 13 months old, but still uses the house as a toilet no matter what I do to stop her, she does it. She also barks and chews anything when left alone even if only for 15 minutes. Anyone who can help please drop me a line at Lgray001@aol.com Thanx...Long live the Pyr.

My name is Abby Noland and I am the owner of a wonderful Pyr by the name of Zander. Right now I am attending Mesa State College in Grand Junction, CO. I am taking an English class there and we are to write a paper of our choice through the I-search technique. This technique uses interviews as a main source rather than published material. The topic I chose is the behavioral characteristics of the Great Pyrenees with respect to bears. Zander and I go up to a cabin in the summer, and I have noticed a change in his behavior lately when reports of bears in the vicinity erupted. Does anyone have any interesting points or stories of their experiences with their Pyrs behavior around bears, or any type of wild-life? I need all the stories I can get so please write back! Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated! Thank You! Abby Noland

SPECIAL THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO RESPONDED TO MY URGENT PLEA FOR MEDICAL HELP FOR MY PRECIOUS GREAT PYR PUPPY, BEAU. He is doing so much better. The vets are still not 100% sure as to what he had(s). Top on their list is hypertrophic osteodystrophy (HOD) although some of his symptoms were atypical. Suggestions received from so many wonderful people were discussed with the vet. In fact, extra caution is being taken in the giving of vaccines as his sutoimmune system seemed to be affected. Another strong possible diagnosis was "growing pains" -panosteotis (sp.?) He has on occasion had a limp on one leg one day and then on another day, the other leg. This, however, occured after he finished his rimadyl and anti-inflammatory meds. He is eating well, growing, and playing--impishly, like he used to. However, we are careful not to let him overdo and curtail his activities for fear he may injure himself. It is wonderful to smile everyday--just having him to gaze upon. Such a beautiful creature--like all Pyrs. Again, thank you all--Pyr people and dog lovers of other beautiful creatures for your kindness. I was truly overwhelmed with so many concerned people.I cannot say enough wonderful things about the PYRNET GUESTBOOK--THANK GOODNESS IT EXISTS! Suzanne--suzyb1044@aol.com

Dew was hit by what the vet thinks was a 4 wheeler. well he got a pin put in his leg and has had it since removed and is doing just fine. Has anyone had any problems with separation anxiety...this is what the vet thinks Pepsi has and why she broke out of the kennel. I'm also so happy to see that Poppy is enjoying her washtub Ruth.

Also, My GP, Cid, has a bad habit about pawing me whenever I'm not actually petting or scratching him. Is there anyway to ease him up a little? Thanks so much.Looking forward to any replies. Oh, one other thing. If there are any GP lovers out there in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, feel free to drop me a message. I'd love to share stories.

I love my 5 year old pyr dearly, and wouldn't trade him for anything. However, if anyone has a suggestion for their barking problem, I'd like to hear it. We've tried "no bark" type commands, down-stay, holding the muzzle closed, etc. and really don't want to resort to a bark collar. Neutering him 3 months ago helped our dominance problem, but not this one ! Any other ideas are welcome!

Just to let you know that the "Pyr" Saskia got from the Dog Pound in Auckland was not a Pyr nor even a crossbred one. Couldn't figure out who it would have been and the Club would have been notified. A few days later the dog escaped and Saskia has been unable to find him. We have been in touch with Saskia and she would like to have a Pyr later on. Just recently rehoused a Rescue bitch with great success thanks to the Pyrenean Mountain Dog Club in New Zealand who provided the finance required for Sam.

MEDICAL HELP--We had a perfectly normal, healthy, energetic 3 month Great Pyr until Sunday, Aug. 15, 1999 when we awoke to find a lethargic puppy uninterested in his morning feeding. Again, at lunch he exhibited no interest and up until that point we periodically got him up for short walks, afterwhich he went right back and laid down. Realizing something was seriously amiss, I took his temperature which was 105.5, rushed him to the animal emergency center. A CBC was done, indicating low white cell count and a low red cell count as well. The possibilities mentioned from the covering vet were all nightmares. Our personal vet spoke to the emergency doctor and a decision was made to provide IV with antiobiotics and monitor overnight. Cooled IV was given to aid in lowering his temperature, however that did not work so an injection was given to lower temp. We picked him up early Monday and we rushed him to our vet where a complete exam was given. He found our pup had extreme soreness in all leg joints. X-rays were taken but nothing showed. Another CBC was done, same results low white and red cell count.He was placed on IV with an anti-inflammatory drug as well as an antibiotic and showed some response during the day. He actually ate a little. Our vet strongly feels he has hypertrophic osteodystrophy (HOD)although he does not fit the complete profile. There is a chance it could be a virus, which we are praying is the case and in time he will be 100%. We brought him home Monday night. Needless to say we did not sleep well for worrying and listening to him cry when he tried to move. This a.m. (Tuesday) he does show some improvement, however slight. He is taking rimadyl (anti-inflammatory) and orbax (antibiotic), together with our constant vigil and prayers we hope we will have our beautiful Pyr back. If anyone has experienced the onset of so sudden an illness, just in a blink of an eye, with similar characterics please, please contact us. Perhaps there is something being overlooked, or most importantly maybe there is something that manifests similar symptoms. We are extremely concerned over his blood count as well and hopefully we will see a change for the better when another CBC is taken next week. May all of your Pyrs be healthy, enjoy every blissful minute with God's most beautiful, intelligent animal. suzyb1044@aol.com 8/17/99

She is healthy and has gone from 75 lbs. to 90lbs. in the 3 months that I have had her. She was found on the streets on Houston, Starving and badly abused. She is now coming out of her shell and I am loving every minute of it. Thanks to the rescue prgram, Mona and I are doing GREAT!@!@ I hope to have many many wonderful years with her!

Hello, all Great Pyrenees owners and lovers!!!! My family recently added a beautiful male Pyr to our managerie We just got Goliath from a breeder in Priest Lake, Idaho, and though he is the alpha in the litter of nine, he is still a very good dog. He will be registered with the CKC, and we are hoping that we will be able to raise him to be a guardian dog for our chickens and the goats we will be getting. We decided to add a Great Pyr to our family due to all the animals we have lost to free-roaming dogs on the mountain. I have read a lot about the Pyr, and they are strong-willed, brave, and big. Right now, Goliath is only 11 weeks, and he tips the scales at right around 30 pounds. He is white with gray spots on his back and rump, and a black splay mark on his tail. As an alpha, and this being our first Pyr, there are some challenges that I (the only girl of six kids and an ameteur dog trainer) am finding difficult to deal with. I am used to German Shepherds and Collies (We currently have a Collie and I own one Shepherd)and their willingness to please, and this Pyr is certainly different than the other dogs we have. He is smart and once he knows that OUT means turn around and walk out of the garden, kitchen, bedroom, or whatever, a hand raised in front of his face usually serves to remind him that the area is off-limits. I am having some trouble teaching him to walk on leash, but that is normal for a pup, and especially a Pyr pup. Is there anyone out there who can give suggestions on how to teach young boys to use a proper comand voice when speaking to Goliath? I am the only one, besides my mom, who can get him to listen, because the little boys aren't using the same voice and attitude that I do, and that is causing some dis- cord, because I am the default person to run to when the pup takes off with their shoes or begins to take off toward the road, and that makes it very difficult to get things done. I know that Pyrs roam, and we are working on a secure way of containing him, but a dog that big needs to respect all the people in his home, not just Mom. I can use any advice on training kids to deal with training in a more mature manner. Also, when I go to clip his nails, he fights quite a bit. I don't give in, but I need to know if the dislike of having his feet handled is just puppy thing, or if it is something that I will need to desensitize him to. Those double dew claws are not in contact with the ground, so to avoid painful problems and clipped quicks, I have to be able to clip. Any Ideas? Aside from that, our Pyr is a sweet, wonderful dog, and does drool a little. I anticipate quite a few years of wonderful companionship, and I am optimistic about the future. Pyrs are a great breed, quite literally! P.S. Great Pyrenees dig! Anyone who might be looking to get one of these Giant dogs, that has a manicured lawn, this might not be the breed for you. Our Pyr got into the garden and indulged his joy for digging in my onion bed, and needless to say, there are no onions left! (That made it necessary to teach him the OUT command:)

I just inherited a lovely and sweet 2 year old female. She is a super dog all around. My one concern though is she "paws" me to get my attention. The problem is that it's painful because she's so strong and obviously has nails. Also sometimes when she gets excited and is in a very playful mood, she will try to play by jumping up on me. My question is what is the best way to discipline a pyr without disciplining their spirit? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I lost my best friend in the whole world recently, a German Shephard named Tomahawk. It was a horrible, incurable disease and totally unexpected. I was devestated. My fiance came out on the web and did a tone of reseach before he decised that a Pry would be right for us. He came home with 'Coaltrain' without consulting me and as you can expect I wasn't happy that he did this without my knowledge. But it wasn't 24 hours before my motherly instinct kicked in, he was so completely adorable. This would have to be one special dog though for me to love him like I did my Tomahawk. This is truly one amazing breed. Coaltrain is the light of my life. He is the most gentle, loving, smart and huge thing at 60 lbs at 19 weeks old. And he has shown his protective side by 'saving me' from a pack of dogs on the TV last weekend. I had no idea they were instinctively so protective. I believe he truly 'owns' us and I enjoy every day with him. My fiance says I rush home to see him evey day after work and not him! Well what can I say, he has one me over heart and soul. Thanks for the great sight. I have learned so much.

My 4-month-old GP mix, Juma, is just wonderful ... we are crate-training her and see that the crate affects her sleeping habits ... in the crate she lays on her back to sleep and props her legs up against the cage walls ... so when she's out and about in the house and goes to sleep, she curls up next to the couch and lays on her back with her feet propped up against the couch ... too cute! Would love to talk with others who have Pyrs.

we have a 2 yr old pyr that was given to us from someone in PA. He is very sweet and we really like him but if we didn't put up that fence he would have left us several times by now. he is hot here in n.c. in the summer.he has "snapped" at my husband and child. aloof, and won't come when we call him. is all this normal?

My pyr is 4.5, beautiful, wonderful, and one of three best dog friends I am blessed to share my life with. I got her from rescue and inspite of a rough first year, we are now a permanent family. She is gentle, sensitive and protective of all of us. I love her so much. Would like to hear from other Pyr lovers.

Pico, our pyr girl, is such a joy at three-and-a-half months. Wherever we go, people stop and ask to pet her which makes Pico very happy because she really seems to like everybody, two-legged or four-legged. My husband is director of social work at a nursing home, and we are thinking of training Pico to be a therapy dog. Anyone out there with a pyr visiting nursing homes and/or hospitals? I would appreciate if you could share some of your experiences and any tips on training, etc. Thanks!

Loved your site. We adopted a GP-X F (8 wks), Casey, now 2.5 yrs and a 1.5 yr stray M cat, Teddy, from the same agency. They are the best of pals behaving as siblings rather than traditional dog & cat, except that Casey tries to hump Teddy from time to time. Casey is the gentlest dog we have ever seen, going out of her way to meet and greet stangers, kids, and other dogs see meets at the park. She is tiny for a GP weighing in at only 87 lbs. We suspect that she also has a little St. Bern as well.

Hello, I have signed the guest book before and I have a GP named Keiko. He is 4.5 years old and big and beautiful. My problem is that I also have a male neutered collie age 12.5 and the GP whenever he has the chance likes to try to get the best of the collie. They stay separated most of the day (same enclosure, but big) but Keiko has this need to try to "hump" Teddi. The big problem is that he gets Teddi down and he can't get up. I am afraid he is going to end up hurting him. Is he just showing dominance or what? Is there anything I can do to stop this. I love them both so much but sometimes it really becomes a battle. Any suggestions would help, Thanks, Jodi

Monty is now 20 months old and is a complete joy. Is there anyone else out there that has a deaf GP? I have neutered Monty because of the unknown cause of his deafness. Any information about deaf GP would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

My three-month-pld Pyr loves the water. We have a creek on our property and she is in every chance she gets, at least twice a day. That means I have to rinse her off before letting her back in the house because she gets pretty muddy, mostly her feet, legs, belly and tail. With her thick coat, it takes her a lot longer to dry than our short-hair mix. Can being wet often become a health problem? Should I try to keep her out of the water or stop worrying about her? Please share your experiences with water loving pyrs.

Hi. I was just adopted by a yong male GP. I was just finishing my ritual evening walk with my mixed Shep/Chow "Grizzly" when he bounded behind me to intercept this big white dog. The GP had appeared out of now where -- poof he was just there standing at the end of my drive -- no collar and looking very lost, lonely and dirty. Grizzly and he seemed to be ok with each other so I decided to bring him in to the back yard for the night. The next morning my husband and I gave the new guy a flea bath out on the patio and tried to cut out some of the terrible matts. The poor guy was terribly infested with fleas. Well its been three days now and we all (Grizzly & the GP, the two cats Sam & Rascales, Jim & I) are having a great time. We are thinking about naming him "Moose" or "Yukon".

I had a question about my Pyr. He is a 4 yr. old male named Issac. He is constantly having trouble with hot spots. Our vet told us that they are usually caused by a flea bit or something that irritates the skin thereby causing the dog to scratch and further the problem. Is there anything you recommend to help prevent these hot spots? If there is, please e-mail me!!! Thank you, Carrsha

Sqeaking her toys, ruling over the couch, playing with her friends, and giving innocent looks at us- even when she's guilty, MARGIE- our marked, 10 month old, female great Pyr is one of the greatest animals to ever enter our families lives. Unknowing of how exquisite the breed was, we ALL fell in love with her the moment we laid eyes on her. She brings such joy, happiness, energy, laughter, and love into our lives- that we couldn't imagine not having her around to... chew on a pig ear, drool on an arm, or simply smile when she sees us!

I came back to St. Louis for about six weeks leaving "Sassy" behind with my daughter and my other dog "Tazz" (Sassy, Tazz, my daughter and I all live together). Now my daughter tells me that Sassy's tail is hanging low and to the side, not up like it used to be. Any suggestions as to the reason? I'm hoping it's just because she misses me. I talk to her on the telephone almost every day but I'm very worried about her. Please help me! I love her so much!

My sister has a 5 month old pyranese names Penny. My brother (8) and sister (7) don't like her very much. She jumps up on them and scratches them. Also, my dog, a border collie/german shepard mix, aggressively attacks her when I so much as pet her. I really like Penny, but I don't know anything about pyranese and until Guido calms down I will have to keep my distance. Does anyone have any information or suggestions?

My father brought home a sweet and lively 5 week old Pyr from his trip to Poland. Unfortunatelly, the staff at NorthWest Airlines handled her during the flight from Amsterdam, and now she has a lame right rear leg. Nothing appears broken or dislocated, however she is unable to walk, can not bend her knee, or put any of her four pound weight on it. We would welcome any and all suggestions, but quickly - all of the vets we've seen have suggested euthanasia.

Does anyone have any helpful hints about housebreaking? I have a 7 month old Pyr pup Cheyenne. She's been doing pretty good up until lately. She won't go in front of me, but if I leave a room (she's restricted to only certain areas) she'll do a number, even after I let her out. She knows it's wrong, but she'll do it anyway. It seems like its out of spite. When she does make a mistake, how should I handle it. Show it to her and say "bad dog!" and kennel her or put her out? Someone suggested the dominance move, flip her and grab her by the neck. This might get a little difficult since she's now about 65lbs. Any suggestions would help

Hi All! I last wrote in the guest book when I was greiving the loss of Honey, my 6 yr.old GP. I now have wonderful news. I rescued 11 month Abby about a week ago. She is beyond wonderful! She has filled the hole in my heart that I had when Honey passed away. I read with interest the many inquiries about buying a pyr. All those interested in pyrs should PLEASE PLEASE consider rescue dogs. This is my second and a rescue dog loves you in such a special way! Scott and I searched from Maine to New Jersey for our new love and it was worth every mile. So many pyrs are abandoned. Please consider giving them your love, they need it more than most.Thanks to all who sent condolences. It meant so much to us. We are so blessed to have Abby in our life!

Our family owns "Charlie" a 3 year old Pyr big male. We call him "Charle Horse" somethimes. He has the sweetest nature of any creature I've encountered. He is kind and gentle with our children and "lives" for regognition, but if anyone comes to our door they know right away that we own a great white dog! His only flaw is to run away and investigate out 91 acre hayfield and woods. We have to keep a close eye on Charlie! He also sheds a lot of white hair on my forest green carpeting. The folks at Hoover like us for our frequent purchase of vacume cleaner bags. Next time I will get a Green Great Pyr!

Canadians, especially from Ontario, would love to hear from you about your Pyr. Beaumont is 8 months old, he is my second Pyr. My 5 kids love him. Leon my first died from gastric tortion. I still miss him but Beau's presence helps.

We have a 3 month old Pyr female named Kimra. She is so sweet. We are having a hard time with potty training. She will do great as long as we are really watching, but if I get busy she goes an the floor. Sometime right behind me. Just the other day I had taken her out three times on a leash to do her stuff. She never did. As soon as we came in, she went on the floor. I want her to be an indoor dog, but my new carpet is sure suffering. She also naws on us alot. We have two young girls, I don't want them to be afraid of her. Any advise on either of these problems? Thanks,Mitzi

I just picked up my 9week old AKC reg. pyr. pup a week ago -he is wonderful with the exception of he likes to mouth my 13 month old daughter and has drawn blood once - it is in a playful way - but we do not won't this to continue - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated -out of everyone that I have spoken to no one has ever had this problem - I think he see's her as another puppy because of the size. She is very intimidated by him therefore there is no aggervation to him on her part. (he is bigger than she is and she (Cheyanne) is not walking completly by herself yet so she can not get away from him fast enough. I hope it's just a "puppy stage" Please e-mail with suggestions.

My husband and I adopted a Pyr mix at 6 weeks of age. Juma is the light of our life, except when she jumps the kitchen gate and unravels an entire roll of toilet paper! She is now 9 weeks. We don't know her paternity (her purebred Pyr momma went for a "romp in the woods"), and we see no sign of Daddy anywhere in her right now ... she seems pure Pyr! As Daddy is a mystery, we are trying to gauge her pattern of growth against purebred Pyrs to guesstimate her adult size. At 9 weeks and 20 pounds, is she big, small, average for a Pyr? Will she be a "big baby"?

Sorry to write again so soon... I am also the proud owner of a 4.5 month old Great Pyr: Hudson. He has the sweetest temperment and gentlest disposition. I've never seen a puppy so careful around babies. He's only 50 lbs, though. Is that normal for his age? He's also unexpectedly mellow and really well behaved, I keep waiting for him to ruin something or be hyper or destructive (normal puppystuff) and it just isn't happening. Is it because they mature slower than smaller dogs? I'm home a lot so maybe the extra time I spend with him is paying off? He's great, I can't recommend them loudly enough. The slobber is taking some getting used to but Hudson is terrific.

Our first pyr was bought at six weeks and raised as a member of the family. At onw year he began a very agressive tendency. After a year of working with a professional trainer and several vets, we were told by Auburn Scool of Vet Science, that our beloved Pyr was genetically flawed and dangerous. We sadly put him down. In seaching for our second pyr we were most cautious in personally checking the temperment of the parents of our new puppy. Happily our "Sugar" is now two and our insisting on sweet disposition as well as top quality paid off. I would caution anyone looking to adopt a pyr that in living with any large dog, don't be fooled by just good looks!

as I was saying...:) we adopted Belle from the local shelter and she has brought nothing but good things into our home (as well as much hair!!)I drop in from time to time to check out the new sign in's but this time found it most upsetting to see so many of you that have recently lost your dogs. To those of you that this has happened to I know that this is tough but remember all the fun times that you shared together and think of all the love that you could give to another who desperatley needs it. There are so many Pyrs out there in rescue centre's that would be so grateful to have a loving home like yours to come to. They would never replace your dog that has gone but without people like you to help these dogs could miss the opportuntiy at a chance to be loved...I don't mean to preach but it breaks my heart to know that these dogs are suffering while people who love the breed are hurting too.

We got our Pyr baby girl yesterday. Pico de la Maladetta (Pico for short) is 2 months old and absolutely adorable. I was surprised how well she adjusted to all the new things in her short life: riding in a car, her new family and new home, Max, our 2-year old kelpie mix and the two resident cats. She goes outside to do her business (I take her outside every 2 hours) and she has not made a puddle once in the house although she spent most of her time inside with us today because it is so hot. What a sweetie she is!

We are looking for a rescue dog for one of our friends in NC south of Raleigh. They were recently pretty much wiped out of their breeder birds due to a dog attack. We were looking before the attack and now would like to have some good news for them. Any information would be appreciated about rescue dogs in their area. Thanks so much. Love the site.

I signed the guestbood a while ago, just after we learned our beloved GPmix, Gus, was ill with osteo sarcoma. The past 2 months or so have been so sad. On May 4th we euthanised Gus. One of the toughest decisions and acts we have ever been faced with. I did as much research as I could on the net, just before our computer bit the dust. We saw 4 different vets, and all said the same thing: FATAL DISEASE. Grim, hopeless words. We were able to keep Gus pretty comfortable, with the help of our understanding vet. But, he developed symptoms that were hard to deal with and surely uncomfortable for Gussie, tho' he never complained. I miss everything about him. Even the long, blonde hair he shed so profusely! It is awful to open the front door and not see him smiling and wagging his great plume of a tail. (Which he did even when he had to hobble to the door.) He was my pal and fearless protector. He was a star in our neighborhood, which has many beautiful, large dogs; a mastif, a briard, a newfoundland, and a bearded collie all live in a two block radius. We miss him, the neighbors miss him, our family and friends miss him. I am wondering aboaut getting another pyr or pyr mix. I wonder about rescue, and if an adult dog would bond to my husband and I. I know I can't expect an exacat replica of Gus, but I believe a new dog would have its own wonderful qualities.

I signed the guestbook earlier around Christmas time, about my pyr, Ginger aka "babyhead". I now am grieving the loss of her. This Mother's Day weekdn while visiting my parents, she climbed the fence and ran into a busy street and was hit by a car. The man who hit her was nice enough to call the number on her collar and stay with her until someone could get there.My boyfriend gave her to me as a gift, and she became my best friend helping me through countless hardships. She will be so dearly missed, I'm not quite sure what I am going to do without her. When the time is right, I would like to rescue a pyr, so if anyone could send me info. on that i would be very grateful.So to my best friend, my nap partner, my company on the road, my pillow before finals, Matthew's (3 yr old) hug buddy, my parvo survivor, and Hannah's (rottie) best friend, we will all miss you terribly and mourn our loss. Thank you for all the love you gave me in your two years on earth. You will always have a piece of my heart.I love you---your momma

WE HAD A PYR THAT DIED 2 YEARS AGO FROM CANCER, SHE WAS ABOUT 9 YEARS OLD AND IT WAS THE HARDEST THING WE EVER FACED. WE WENT FOR 6 MONTHS AND HAD TO TRY AGAIN, SO WE ADOPTED SIBLINGS, BOTH RUNTS, THEY WERE 4 1/2 MONTHS OLD AT THE TIME. ONE OF THE GIRLS HAD AN OFF BITE, SO WE AGREED TO NOT BREED HER, WE PLANNED TO SPAY THEM BOTH ANYWAY, WE ONLY WANTED THEM AS FAMILY MEMBERS, AND NOT FOR BREEDING. WE LOVE THE BREED. ANYWAY, ANGEL, WHEN SHE WAS SPAYED, HAD A THIRD HORN. ANGEL AND TARA ARE HOUSE DOGS, THEY STAY IN AND WE VACUUM A GREAT DEAL......THEY DON'T LIKE THE HEAT IN THE SUMMER OR THE COLD IN THE WINTER, THEY ARE JUST PLAIN SPOILED. ANYWAY, LAST WEEK ANGEL HAD WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A CONVULSION, BUT THE VET HAD ME BRING HER IN FOR BLOOD WORK AND SAID SHE HAS IDIOPATHIC EPILEPSY, AND HE PRESCRIBED HER 60MG OF PHENOBARBITOL 3 TIMES DAILY, HE TOLD ME SHE WOULD BE WOOZY WITH THE MEDICATION UNTIL SHE BECAME USED TO IT. NOW ANGEL IS SMALL, ONLY ABOUT 67-70 POUNDS AND AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS ON THIS SHE BECAME VERY DIZZY AND FALLS INTO THINGS, SHE ALSO SEEMS TO BE GASPING FOR BREATH, SHE IS SO HOT, SHE DRINKS ALOT OF WATER AND DROOLS AND LICKS HERSELF UNTIL SHE IS SOPPING WET, AND THIS WAS NOT THE CASE BEFORE. I KNOW THAT WE HAD BEEN TOLD PREVIOUSLY THAT PYRS HAVE A VERY LOW METABOLISM AND THEY REQUIRE VERY LITTLE ANESTHESIA WHEN UNDERGOING SURGERY, DOES THIS ALSO MEAN THAT THEY NEED MUCH LOWER DOSES OF MEDICATION? I AM AFRAID SHE HAS BEEN OVER MEDICATED AND IT WILL HURT HER, DOES ANY ONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? OUR VET IS A VERY NICE MAN, BUT HE DOESN'T WORK WITH LARGE DOGS. USUALLY CATS OR SMALL DOGS. WE APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. WE LOVE OUR GIRLS.

Me, I'm an old codger, had dogs all my life, so many breeds, until 10years ago we got Snoopy from Rescue, a magnificent male Pyr, he was 9 months old at the time. He's still around and living a good life. At his peak he weighed in at 73kgs. Since then we have bought two females, one a present for Danielle's daughter, and Meg who became part of our family. She is now five years. About fifteen months ago we got another male from the Rescue, he was also about 9/10 months at the time. We called him Sevy, part of his Spanish heritage. He bonded with the other guys like long lost brother and Snoopy as had a wonderful new lease of life, playing with Sevy and his mom and dad on a regular basis. My only regret is that I only discovered Pyrs in my latter years. They have everything that we like in a dog. Living on 10 acres outside of Durban, Natal, South Africa, it is perfect for this wonderful breed. They can run, patrol and do their thing without upsetting the neighbours when the give their low-level bark that says,"I'm on guard, Pyrenean on duty" Your web site is fantastic. Danielle discovered it over the week-end whilst I was up country Please keep up the good work and love your web-page wag-a-tail Ray and Danielle .

A friend of mine, many years ago, rescued a great pyr named Ralph. Yes, Ralph. And he looked like a ralph. When I first met Ralph, I fell in love with him. Well, my friend lived in a townhouse with no yard, so I eventually adopted him. Soon thereafter, I got a couple of rottweiler puppies. And Ralph tolerated those puppies greatly, even when he was pulling them across the floor, with them holding on to his tail. Well, about three years ago, Ralph past away. It was a rough part of my life, since Ralph was such a big part of it. Within a month, I decided that I needed a new pyr, and so I contacted the local pyr rescue group. They had several dogs available, and considering that I had rotts, they recommended a two year old named Emmitt. Like Ralph, it was love at first sight. Emmitt was very tolarate with my other dogs, and a great companion. The most amazing thing that I have discovered about pyrs is that a lot of people are somewhat intimated by them, because of their size. But they are very friendly dogs, and I have never had any problems with either one of my pyrs.

P. that rescued some people who were stranded in the snow in the mountains. i had never seen that breed but i never forgot the story. you guessed it. later when my husband and i decided to get a dog i thought of the dog in the story . i headed for the library and found a wonderful book about the breed. and it gave the name of a kennel in Winchester, Va. i contacted them and in less then four months we had a beautiful 13 lb. bundle of fur. who grew into 125 lbs. she was a wonderful friend to me and my husband and protector of our three cats. we lost her to a brain tumor when she was 8 years old . That was 10 years ago but i still miss her . i really appreciate the stories and comments on this web site. i would love sharing pyre stories.

We have a year and a half, 120 pound male pyr who still thinks he's a baby lap dog. First time with this breed and I wouldn't trade him for the world. He loves his 3 cats and other dog. Any other pyr owners in the Tampa area?

I have a 9 month old puppy who is just the best! He's Huge too. (over 100 lbs and about 30 inches at his shoulder) I just had to take him to the vet this weekend because he was limping on his back legs really bad and he looked like he was in a lot of pain and didn't want to walk. We have a really wonderful country vet who has a lot of experience with GP's and other huge breed dogs. He said that it sounds really hokey but that Toby has Growing Pains - that he's growing too fast and it's pulling on the nerves in his joints in his back legs and that it's very very painful. He gave us some good pain killers for when he needs them and told me to give him 500mg Glucosimine (it's an arthritis medicine that you can get at GNC or Walgreens) once a day for the next 3 months. He said this will help build up the cartilage in his joints and fix the problem. I don't guess it matters how big they get, but I would keep an eye out in case that happens to yours too.

I have a great Pyr and I love her to death. Cheyanne is a very sweet 8 month old puppy. She learns quickly, and seems VERY smar for her age. (She learns a lot quicker than our other 2 dogs to say the least!) But she seems as large at 8 months as most Pyr's are at 2 years! Is this something that I should be worried about? She is purebred, and her father was HUGE! But I would like to know about how big she is going to be once she gets done growing. If anyone can help I would love it! She is about 100 lbs. and 27" to the top of her shoulder. Thanx everybody. Love: Liquid_Dimonds

Thank you for all of the information. We recently adopted a pyr mix... we think. He had been dumped as a 2 week old puppy at a local shelter because of a pigment discoloration in his eyes. We didn't care that he would never be a show dog -- we fell in love at first sight!!! Do all Pyr puppies chew on everything!!! (including the wood-pile?)

He is the greatest protector of my children but yet so quiet and serene. He only barks when he needs to yet he stands a close watch at our house. Please I would love to talk to anyone who owns one. We got him from Nebraska. Thanks again.

This last Christmas I ended up giving myself an unexpected present - a Pyr puppy I named Cheyenne. I didn't know much about them but they were going to put her down and I told the owners I'd take her sight unseen. She's one beautiful animal and so mellow and content most of the time. She's just over 5 month's now she's been relatively easy to train with the exception of one thing - she loves to dig - not small holes either. Do anyone have any suggestions on how to get her to quit digging? I love this web site! If anyone has any helpful info on training a Pyr, please contact me

I have a Great Pyrennes named Sophie. She was born January 30, 1996 to parents whoguard sheep in Bainbridge, Ohio. She is a wonderful friend and loyal companion. She lives inside the house and has a 60' by 80' play pen in the back yard. She is a great guard dog but very mild and temperate when friends come over. Truly, she is a real joy and I would recommend the breed to anyone that has the space.

Thats ok with us as we live in the country and own sheep. Wea are not interested in show dogs but in a family dog good with our sheep. We do want an obedient dog so if anyone can give us any info on training "Bubba" we would appreciate it. Thank you....Chuck Hamilton

My dear and beautiful friend, Gustav, is half GP. I rescued a little, golden fluff-ball 8 years ago and he has become my best friend and guardian. Two weeks ago he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. There seems to be a tumor on his left front leg. The surgical biopsy did not show cancer cells, but did show new osteophyte growth, which our vet believes confirms the diagnosis. What to do? He is very lame and taking strong pain medicine. GP dogs have the most wonderful dispositions and fine characters. Despite their beauty, they are not unintelligent "dumb blonde" types. If I am to lose my Gussie, I want very much to get another dog with a like temperment, and of large size. Gus is 115 lbs. I guess I am blathering on, but it is a painful and emotional time for my spouse and I, as all of you dog lovers can probably identify with. Thanks for listening.

I would be thankful to hear from anyone out there who has experienced skin problems with their Pyr. I have a 16-month old male, "Bear"; I adore this dog. For almost a year now he has been back and forth to the vet with skin problems, itching, scratching, creating sores on his skin (especially his belly, underarms, tail) and has been off and on antibiotics for this. Recently started taking him to a dermatologist. Flea allergy has been eliminated, she thinks it is probably a food allergy?!? He has been on Science Diet, Lamb & Rice, for most of his life. Anybody have a problem with this? He turns up his nose at the special diets the doctor is giving me, i.e. venison/potato, duck/potato. I know they're not big eaters but I've never seen a dog like this. I want to feed him healthy food but find myself buying ground lamb and cooking it for him so he'll eat. At 16 months he is only 85 pounds, which seems underweight to me. I really need some help, I'm at my wits end, close to the end of my wallet with vets and special diets, and nothing seems to work. Worst of all , I can't stand to see my Bear suffering. Anyone who can lend assistance or experience, I will really be grateful. Thanks!

What a great site! We lost our Great Pyrenees, Missy, at the age of 11. She had gotten cancer, and she died on December 28 last year. Putting her to sleep was terrible. She gave no indication of illness until about a month before she died. I didn't see it coming, and I still feel sad about it. She was a very strong-willed, intelligent and independent dog. She really was my best buddy. They really are great dogs, despite the unbelievable shedding. I would recommend this breed to anyone who wants a great dog, and doesn't mind spending a lot of time caring for, walking, and brushing (hair as well as teeth) it. We all miss Missy. What a presence she was!

I love this site! I had a great pyrenees. I loved him so much. He was my companion and my protector of my son. The breed is truely the gentle giants. We miss him so. We lost him to cancer 4 years ago, he was 10 years old. I've seen some posts about the large amounts of hair that they shed. Yes they do!! Every year I made Remy a new bed pillow out of his hair stuffed into old blankets sewn together. He absolutely loved it. Snow was his favorite, he used to just roll and lay in it and catch snow balls in his mouth. I never thought I would think of getting another one like him, because he could never be replaced, but I just may. This site is great. Love your dogs, because they love & protect you everyday of their lives.

We just adobted a 2 year old female named Belle. She is a loving, friendly dog. She had been tied up and left outside all the time with her previous owners. I keep all my pets indoors (2 cats and a dog) most of the time. Is that okay for the Pyr as well??? I don't like the idea of keeping her outside all the time. My idea of a pet is a compainion who is with you in all that you do and can become part of the family...not just something to have guard the back yard. Any opions out there?

Beethovens update. After we changed his food his itching has mostley stopped.he is growing a beautiful coat now and looks like the pretty boy that he is supposed to be. He still is having regular conversations with the pyrs across the road. He is picking up a bad habit though ,he fineally figured out how to get on my bed and loves to lay on top of me and when i try to push him off he slaps me with those huge paws. I have a king size bed so theres plenty of room but he perferes to pin me down so i cant get away.He then gets put in his crate and sulks till I let him out and we try all over again to pin mommy down, my kids and husband think its funny. But I wouldnt trade him for nothing hes my baby.

We have 3 adult Pyrs, 2 females and a male. Sierra, the oldest female 4(yrs) just had her first litter of 5. The puppies are 8 weeks old, adorable, frisky, healthy and for sale. We also raise bison and pygmy goats. Our male Pyr is an excellent goat protector. I was amazed the other day to watch him assist in the birth of a slew of pygmy goats. He actually licked off the membrane after the goats were born and helped mom clean up the babies! All with no training from us. We love our Pyrenees.

Pyrs are wonderful! Isis is our first pyr and she is wonderful. She is 4 months old and weighs 64 lbs now. (Is this normal?). She plays soccer with her balls and has eaten the hibiscus and dittany plants.. She is very loving-likes everyone. Just took her to a Vet who said she has vaginitus/UT infection but said antibiotics would make it worse not better. Does anyone know of homeopathic remedies I could give her? Vitamin C? Things to boost her immune system? She eats well and plays with energy. I would like to meet others with pyrs -to learn from those with experience and also to compare notes with other new owners.

We have a 8 month female Pyr. She has a great personality and is a constant companion. However, last Thurs. she had to have knee surgery. Since then she seems to be very mistursting of everything I do near her. I know it's only a couple of days, but can anyone tell me if her wonderful personality will come back and if so when. Can anyone tell me how well Pyrs recover from knee surgery - her surgeon was excellent. Please email ASAP. Thank-you

Maybe you can help us. We recently adopted a Pyr whose owners had to give him up when they moved. He's a wonderful dog, and we already love him, but we can't seem to get him to play. He seems like he wants to but doesn't know how, and I don't know how to train a dog to play - it's always come naturally to my dogs. If we aren't able to play together, it would be ok, but I think he would be happier if we could. If you have any tips, they would be appreciated. thank you

We had two great pyranese dogs. Annie is a year old now, and Pyr was four and a half years. We use them to guard our sheep. We love the pyrs so much because they are so loyal and friendly. And they protect those sheep from the coyotes pretty well, too. My mom found Pyr curled up in a ball on our deck, dead yesterday. We figure he died because of a heart attack. He is going to be greatly missed, especially when we have to go out to the barn alone at night and there will be no one there to walk us to and from the barn. He was always watching out for his family and his land and his sheep. I remember one time when Pyr found a snapping turtle in the field and would not let anyone go near it. Or when instead of fighting the coyote that wandered into our field near the sheep, he circled it many times over, not letting it move. He was always running from one corner of the farm to the other-even on the hottest days of the year, making his rounds, making sure everything was all right. I even remember how he would always follow us when we did our chores, waiting for his turn to cuddle up with us in the hay. He was such a happy, loving dog. We are really going to miss him terribly. Pyr, you certainly did your job! We'll miss you lots, love your family. For sure we'll get another Pyr, hopefully very shortly. And for now, Annie will have to handle her flock alone. We know she can do it!

Enjoyed reading everyones input. We have 2 Pyr's, 5 and 2. The 5 yr. old has had several knee surgerys. I feel the advice given to us by her breeder was partly to blame. She felt we should leave food out all the time for Tess but I know now it added to her growth spurts. I'm glad feeding of the large breeds has advanced so others won't have as many orthopedic nightmares. I love this breed. Glad to see so many others share our feelings for them.

Im so glad I found your web page. Today was a trying day for myself and family. Are beutiful PYR. MAX was put down today because of hip displasia, he was TEN. Max was are first dog, and he was something! I'll always remember the first time I saw him. I was still in H.S.and I came in late one night and was really tired. My dad told me to come down stairs for a minute. So I thought I was in trouble for coming in late on a school night. But that wasnt the case. When I got down stairs,and looked to my right there he was!! He was this little ball of white fur. He was four weeks and just adorable. I couldnt believe it! When I looked at him he just started wagging his tail, and got real excited! When I picked him up for the first time he just licked my face over and over...Max right away had his own personality. He was so fun loving. Always had to have attention. He used to pull my little sister around the fields in a sled at winter time. He grew up to be such a strong dog. And he was very protective of us all, and his house! Their wasnt a ounce of bad in MAX. He loved it at night when I would watch TV because Id use him as a big pillow. MAX was always there for ya. MAX grew to be 142pounds. We're told that is big, even for a PYR. "BIG GUY", as we often referred him to will never be forgotten. When Im ready, I want to get another PYR. They make more than a great pet. They make such great companions, and are very loyal. He loved kids, and people. Not to mention PIZZA!(Haha). I could go on and on... My family, I, and all the people MAX touched will miss you lots. Love Ya "BIG GUY". C.T.S. Wis

Our Pyr is one year old now. We are having some skin problems with him . He does not have fleas but his coat seems dry . I am not sure if this is normal or not . I used to have Samoyeds with fairly soft coats. I put him back on puppy chow hopeing this will help. I also have started him on antihistimines. Seeing him scratch all the time is breaking my heart plus I have to bath him frequently because of the smell, which doesnt help. Any one with any suggestions would be appreciated.

HEALTH PROBLEMS ARE GONE! We saved a Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd from the pound. He had skin/stomach problems when we first got him. (6 months) We tried alot of dog food until we found one that didn't go right through him. (It happened to be TechniCal -Chicken based) but this didn't clear up his skin problems. After many trips to the Vet.. and $ later.. Nothing seemed to work. I happened to find a web site called "The Missing Link" a Supplement for Dogs. After 3 weeks he stopped scratching, 4-5 weeks his sores were healing and fur growning back. He's been on it ever since, with no more problems. It's easy - Keep in Frig.,(Extra in Freezer) Sprinkle on Food, That's it! I don't have to give him as much as he used to get.. He doesn't seem to need that much anymore. The few times I ran out, (over the last 3 years) He (Rex) started lossing his hair and scratching again, it didn't take me long to reorder! I order 5 lbs and it lasts about 6 months. Hope this helps... "THE MISSING LINK" - http://www.dogline.com/missing link/ or 1-805-722-3163 Lori

I have a pyr puppy and have never had this breed before.We have always had german shepherds-the last was a giant (over 105 lbs) and shed long hair constantly so size and hairyness is not an issue. I need to find out do's and don'ts on training pyr puppy. The temperment is soooo different. I need contacts with people who know pyrs so I can raise this new baby properly. My Email is currently not working (new OS 8.5?) but my ICQ# 19338185 works fine so if there is anyone who has ICQ who could message me I would appreciate it very much. Please respond! thank you.

He loves to be with the family, won't eat well unless someone is around him, loves to play fetch, came to us pretty well house trained. We are so thrilled to have him in our lives. He is helping us fill the loss of our other pyr we lost a year ago next week. He acts so much like him sometimes it's scary. Would love to hear some more stories!!

Maybe someone reading this can offer some advice. We purchased our pyr pups for our buffalo ranch to have as predator control against coyotes which are a serious problem during spring calving. Nevertheless as 4 month puppies they are the most wonderful family pet. Our family of five is just crazy about them. Over the years we've owned many different breeds and the pyrs are right up there along with the beloved golden retriever. The concern I have is the 4 month female "Bandit" has taken a liking to chase our bantam chickens out at the chicken coop. Twice now I have caught her in the act of eating a poor helpless bantam. She seems to have acquired a taste for chicken now. This is very bad since she is bred to be a protector. She received a very bad scolding when I caught her. Is there any method to stop her from this? Also where can I find information on training pyrenees for predator control?

I own a 1 year old pry male and he is wonderful. I found out though that he is allergic to cedar chips. We bought him a bed and low and behold sores started to appear on his back. after many months of seeing the vet and trying differdnt foods I had heard that another pry got some tests done and they found out that their dog was allergic to ash and cedar ships. I took the bed away and I no longer have any problems with his back! His skin is beautiful and the hair is growing back nicely. He is still young and I'm wondering when he will start to show more guarding traits. He is a house pet and believe it or not has great respect for my things that are in the house.

While we don't raise sheep anymore, we feel fortunate to have found Samson. We live in the middle of West Texas and know what great guardians these dogs are. My husbands mother rasied and showed Pyrs in California many years ago...knowing that, my husband has a soft spot in his heart for them (smile)! If anyone has any stories they would like to share or info on these wonderful creatures, please write me.

I own a Pyr, named Leni, and I am attempting to write a book on the Great Pyrenees/Pyrenees Mountain Dog. I want it to be about the reality of owning the breed, their funny little ways, such as giving a paw when they want to play etc. This is where I need you help, the chapters are loosely, as follows, choosing a Pyr, Show/Pet/Rescue, charateristics to look for, your experiences, in the choice of dog. Feeding, is there a best type of food, home made recipes. Grooming, best products to use, best way of grooming, good dogs/naughty dogs. Training, the best way you have found, their destructiveness/naughty ways, how best to cope. Health care, problems you have had, ear infections, eyes hips, elbows, the ways to treat them, complimentary/alternative medicines as well as regular vet care, also experiences of anesthetics. The dog as a livestock guardian, any info in this are.Showing, what its really like for you and your dog, in Europe/UK/North America/Anywhere else. Please send me your stories of life with you Pyr, even if you think it only vaguely fits under one of the headings. Expert/amateur let me hear your tales! If any of your info goes in my book so will you and your dog(with your permission of course!) This will hopefully be a book for owners new/old who want to share an experience of the breed, maybe it will prevent some people from getting a dog thats not right for them/encourage those that may offer this magnificent dog the best of homes! E-mail me as soon as you can.

I have owned a wonderful Pyr which I adopted from the Humane Society about 3 years ago. He weighed 70 lbs. at a year and a half and it was a struggle to get to his current 130lbs. He has been a wonderful companion and as of today, I adopted another one from the same shelter in the same situation but worse. She has been severely neglected and at age 4 is even skinnier than he was. She has a wonderful disposition though. I will be bringing her home next week and am looking for any tips on making the transition easier for both them and me. They are definitely a wonderful breed and make great companions.

He has been a wonderful companion and as of today, I adopted another one from the same shelter in the same situation but worse. She has been severely neglected and at age 4 is even skinnier than he was. She has a wonderful disposition though. I will be bringing her home next week and am looking for any tips on making the transition easier for both them and me. They are definitely a wonderful breed and make great companions.

My wife and I are thinking of buying a great pyranese. In reading the guestbook it seems that they are prone to a variety of health problems. Are there any pre-cautions we can take prior to purchasing? What is a typical asking price?

Our Pyre was born last April and he is beautiful. My son named him Mr. Kadeedlehopper from an old tale that our Aunt use to tell him. We would like to hear from other owners of the breed also! This is our first experience with the breed and it has been very good so far!

I've only begun to visit this site recently. My Pyrnees, Samson, died in November, at 11 years of age. Samson was a dog like no other. He was huge, and beautiful. 138 lbs at his prime, and he wasn't fat. Alot of people told me he was the biggest pyr they'd ever seen. He was such a huge, huge, huge part of my life. I remembered bringing him home. He was 10 lbs of fur. I remember him eating through everything. He dug through a wall, ate an antique chair, man was he a handful as a pup. But worth every cent of damage. He just had such a personality, and man, when you looked at his eyes, he always looked like a person, inside a dog's body. I could tell everything by his expression. My ex husband tried to bully him, yelling at him all the time "Samson, get over here now, Samson, get in the house, Samson, sit." That dog never listened to a WORD the man said. My ex would be furious when I'd walk outside and calmly say "Sammy, come on now". Samson would rise to his feet and slowly walk in the house. He was " the man", but, treated with respect he did whatever I asked of him. I miss him so terribly. We had our first snow recently and I cried, remembering how he loved the cold and snow. I don't know if it's common in Pyr's, but he had cancer in his mouth. I had never even seen it. I had no idea. It was really way to far gone when they found it. I just thought he was getting older and getting tired. I had no idea. He was eating normally right up until a month before he died. There were really no signs. Anyway, he was the best dog I have ever had and I just cannot even think about replacing him. I still have his "brother", a cocker spaniel. Those two were inseparable. I swear, my cocker P-nut didn't eat for 4 days when he realized Sammy wasn't coming home. He still misses him, just the mere mention of his name and P=nut goes crazy. Well. That's my story. It felt good to tell it. Bless you Samson in Pyr Heaven, and Happy New Year.

New to the web/internet, but a member of GPCA and the newly formed (hope to be affliated in the future) Enchantment Great Pyrenees Club (of New Mexico). I am just playing and looking for info -- I can't seem to get enough on Pyrs. I have a male (pet - neutered) and a female (show) and also 2 Ragdoll cats (they're great, too -- very laidback like Pyrs)and they all keep me hopping. My male has some health probs that I was looking for info on. He has been to specialists, but they just can't seem to nail it down. It's like a "gurgling" in his throat. They basically have said that it is slow motility of the esophagus, but I keep thinking that I'll find more of an exact name and or a drug to help him. He really does pretty well as he will be 6 in April, and has had 2 bloat incidents (the second resulted in his having the gastropexy surgery) and has done well since. Boy, have I learned alot! Anyway, Happy New Year and will check in again soon! Good site!

Hi there. We have a pyr., who is a member of the family, really, and I kick my butt for not taking out health insurance for him. Temujin is 31" at the shoulder, about 120 lbs, 4 years old, and protective - when on our property. He eats 2 cans of lamb-rice formula and about 8 cups of dry kibble a day (also lamb-rice)- when he feels like it. We have found that Tem reacts to anything with beef in it - so the lamb-rice diet. At present he has pulled out about 30% of his hair on his right side and has started on his left. He is seeing 2 vets at present time, one is a pyr breeder. (she has just recommended that we prepare his food from "raw" stock) He is reacting to something and his diet is suspect. He has recently developed a cist on his back - but it now appears to be shrinking. I must run now but if you want any info or better yet have some suggestions for me please contact us. Thanks and bye for now Bob and Ardythe Lawrence

I enjoyed helping birth 14 pups the first time(we kept one female(annie girl) and then the next litter ...Athena had 13 pups...her daughter Annie gave birth to 10 pups and then Athena had 7 (i think) we would take the three adults on hiking trips...back packs and all...need help getting to the top of a mountain (physically or emotionally) get a pyr!

We have had our Pyr, Bear since he was 15 weeks old and he has been the light of our lives since then. At approximately 9 months of age he was diagnosed with a subluxating patella. We had thought this was an uncommon problem in Pyrs, but since reading the guestbook, I feel more at ease knowing that we are not the only owners dealing with it. He is now 1 1/2 and still walks a little "odd". He runs, jumps as high as our heads, does a "polar bear" dance when the cat is near his toys, and somehow whenever my brother "Uncle Duke" walks him, he seems to get away every time. He loves his Grammy, his Aunt, my dad who swears he's not that dog's grandfather, and ANY child that wants to pet him. He is also deathly afraid of garbage trucks, mailboxes, and vacuum cleaners (please don't ask). He has both of us hooked on Pyrs forever.

Her leg was reconstructed about 5 years ago, but other then some arthritis she still thinks she is a big 150lbs. puppy. Young at heart. I love these dogs and am excited so many people are enjoying them. I have poundered on getting another but I think I will wait for a while. Good Luck to All The Pyreneese Lovers of the World. B.K.

Very nice site. As the (sadly) former owners of Pyrenees, we look forward to welcoming a new Pyr to our family in the future. Yaushu passed away this spring @13.5 years (old age), and Dax sadly followed her friend at the tended age of 5.5 years. We would consider adopting an adult or older pup down the road (maybe 2), depending on circumstances. We will keep this site bookmarked.

I have tried all the tricks I know but he still smells like a wet dog between his bathes.Any one have any ideas on keeping him smelling good please drop me a line. He is on flea provention so he does not have fleas.His blankets are washed weekly that are in his kennel that is in my bedroom.I also leave a window open so it is cold enough for him.

Our family include 3 Pyr's 2 Great Danes uncountable Pomeranians, an old Old English Sheepdog,a Newfoundland mix and an Aussie mix. We also have pygmy goats, a miniature horse and 3 pet bison (yes pets). We have been trying to mate our oldest female Pyr 100 lbs & almost 4 yrs old to our 3 year old, 110 lb male Pyr but she won't have anything to do with him. Sierra, the female, loves to Conga dance and snores so loud she wakes the goats.She also takes over the bed at night and loves to sit on your feet. The male is an excellent goat tender. He refuses to come in at night until all the goats have been put up for the night. He does get somewhat testy when Sierra goes in to heat. His cheeks puff in and out rapidly just before he chases any other dog away. All our Pyrenees our sweetharts and are great family members. Our other female pyr has the badger coloring and is very small (65 lbs). She's not quite ready to breed.

Hello, Two weeks ago I have "owned" me a puppy. It's 3/4 pyr and 1/4 Berner Sennendog. The motherdog was 1/2 of both and the breeder (a farmer who's totaly mad of his dogs and very very good to them) liked this misstake so mutch. I know, it's not a "real" Pyr (witch we wanted) but the dog is marvelous. Our last dog was a Pyr. He died four years ago. This puppy "Bastiaan" seems to get the size and look of a Pyr but has a red/brown back and tail. I'm very proud to have him and it doesn't matter what other people say or think about the fact that he isn't "full". The most of the people like him very much. I have read much information from this site and want to thank you therefore. It's beautifull. Greetings from Holland Gerrit

While Sophie's parents were working GPs, she vaulted into immediate semi-retirement, except for monitoring the neighborhood (which she thinks she owns), chasing squirrels, and carrying on a mild flirtation with a French Bulldog, which still baffles me. She's a beauty, and spoiled, but by far the most loving and best companion I've ever had.

Makhila is a 6 year old joy. She still gets that look in her eyes, bolts for the door, and heads down the road just infrequently enough to catch us off our guard. That lovely self-cleaning fur has destroyed the beater bar on our vacuum cleaner twice by wrapping around it and over heating the bearings.

I have 4 beautiful geat Pyrenees, they all come from the same liter, I just recently lost their mother, but I am very happy to still have a part of her. The Pyrenees are exceptional animals, when I was younger my family had St. Bernards so I was used to big furry dogs, but when I saw a Pyrenees for the first time I had to have one and I did.

Two years ago was the first time I had heard of this type of dog. I drove an hour away to see 4 week old puppies. I stood in awe when the father greeted my husband and I at the gate. Here was this gorgous white dog looking at us thru the window of our car, eye to eye! Right then I knew, I had to have one. And so I got one. His name is "Hercules". I am now interested in getting a female. The search is on!

My daughter Stacey and I are proud to be owned by a four year old, 110 lb. female GWP named Baby Sasquatch or Sassy for short. Sassy was rescued from the Humane Society when she was a six-week old puppy. She is SMART as a whip, STUBBORN as a Missouri mule, LOYAL, and affectionate (when it suits her).She likes to go "bye-bye" in the car, falls asleep in the tub at the groomer's, sits up and "begs" for doggie treats, and salivates over ice cubes and pizza. She has an industrial strength bark which she uses to bark at nothing! She snores like a freight train, loves to "cuddle" in bed with us (of course it's HER bed, not mine or my daughter's bed). She loves music and can "dance", and ADORES Walt Disney cartoons. She doesn't like "bad men" on TV � she'll bark and "yodel" until they go away or the music changes! She is ferociously protective of our five year old, 91 lb male Lab/Shepart mix named Tazz. They think they're litter mates and it's adorable to watch them keep on eye on each other and check to make sure one another are o.k. We'd love to have a house full of Pyrs (they give the best kisses), but I don't think the neighbors could handle any more "yodeling" in the dead of night! Would like to see or hear from more Pyr owners in the St. Louis area. Pyrs are special dogs and we think they're the Pyrfect pet! Elaine and Stacey Parker

This site is Pyrfectly awesome. My daughter and I are the VERY proud owners of a 4 year old, 110 lb. female GWP named Baby Sasquatch or Sassy for short. She is loyal, lovable, SMART, affectionate when it suits her, STUBBORN when it suits her, beautiful and has an industrial strength bark! She barks at nothing, snores like a freight train, and does her own little "doggie dance". She adores music, cartoons (Walt Disney's of course), loves to go "bye-bye", falls asleep in the tub at the groomer's, sits up to beg for doggie treats and literally salivates over ice cubes and pizza. She fiercely guards our 91 lb male Lab/Shepard mix named Tazz and the love of our lives. They are both well-loved to the point of actually being spoiled � but they're supposed to be if they're loved! I visit this site often and enjoy it always. Elaine & Stacey

I have a Great Pyreneese whose name is Zeus. We love him so much, he is just a big teddy bear! We adopted him from some people who were abusing him. He was 4 months at the time. We went through a LONG period where he was afraid of anything that moved. He has slowly come around after 3 years. We just love him so much, and he was worth all his problems he came with.

We are looking for a puppy a 3-5 month dog which is show quality. We live in So. Cal. but I will be travelling to Chicago in Nov. and Philadelphia in Dec. and will wait until then if I need to find the right pup. I plan on showing and/or obedience. If you or someone you know might have the right pup for me, please email me asap.

My 4.5 year old Pyr, Rio, was diagnosed with bone cancer in July. He had his leg amputated and has received three of five chemo treatments. Even with all this he only has 9-12 months to live. He is a wonderful friend and has been an excellent protector over his human flock. He is very good at his job and takes it very seriously. The amputation of his front leg has not slowed him down. He still has excellent mobility and a wonderful, fullfilling life. He hasn't skippped a beat with only three legs, Each day we have him is a blessing and a joy!!!

I have just read comments on the web site and decided to add some of mine. We have our first pyr, a purebred male, now 4 and 1/2 months old. We also have three black labs and everyone is getting along just fine. The reason we purchased Seamus is because we require a good outside guard dock for our wee flock of sheep, having had two killed by two cougars down out of the hills this past summer. Also a good supply of coyotes travelling through. Our neighbours recommended a Great Pyr and we were fortunate enough to find a breeder with puppies, not far away from us. Seamus is gradually learning to be the watch dog and it's amazing to observe what comes naturally to him. Including a penchant for chickens......he likes to gather one into his large paws and sort of gum it to almost death. At least a state of shock. No kills yet, as he gently plays and removes feathers. After having purebred dogs all my life, I have to say he is certainly a fascinating breed to watch evolve.

Hi, I live in SLC Utah. I have been involved in a non-orifit all breed rescue group for about 3 years. I saw my first Pyr at a local PetSmart (Large Pet whosale store) about 2 yrs ago. Shortly there after I had my first opportunity to rescue my first Pyr. Since then, I have rescued and successfully placed 6 Pyr's with great homes. I have kept in touch and made some great friends. Of course I myself ended up being one of those rescue homes. Mimi was left on my doorstep about 1 1/2 yrs ago. Mimi was a shy pup, but very even tempered. She has come out of her shell and is a joy to have around. She loves everyone and everything from cats, horses, chickens, kids. You name it. If it is alive she adores it and I adore her. Anyone wanting to chat (especially anyone in my area or surrounding states) please feel free to e-mail me.

I read the guestbook quite often, I love the site. I was wondering why there are so many pyrs in Texas. Are most of them working dogs or pets. Just curious. They are not a common breed here in Canada so finding people to talk to about them is very difficult. The books out there on pyrs are not helpful at all don't waste you money, you really have to talk to previous and current pyr owners to really understand the breed. Can't wait to see our puppy Khloe on Pyr Smiles.

I just wanted to expand on my first comment about this web page. I was unsure how much information I could type in here, but after reading the sign in book, I found I could talk forever. We rescued a male pyr, we named him Zues, 6 months ago. He was malnutritioned, broken paw, and very frightened. Today, you would never know that we did not raise him from a pup!!! We also have a husky/malamute mix, Bear, they are the best of friends!! They both sleep on the couch, on the bed with us and they are our only 2 kids and we love them both dearly. However, Zues just has a place in our hearts that is untouchable!!! He is the most loving and gentle giant. I would love to know more about his history but I have purchased three books on pyrs and they just do not go into detail!! Anyone who would like to talk about these magnificant animals PLEASE e-mail me, I would love to talk about them with you!!!

Saw my first pyr in 1983 and it was love at first sight. I knew then I just had to have one. Because we had our requisite 4 dogs, I had to wait until the right time (my husband says pyrs count 2 dogs instead of 1). In Aug of 1993 we were down to 2 dogs. In Sept of 93 I learned of a rescued pyr needing a home. "Maggie", who was approximately a year old, plus 2 male pyrs were abandoned in floodwater for 2 weeks before being rescued. This was one of the worst areas of the great flood of '93 near Alton, Il. Even though she was a mess when I first got her, she's a beautiful girl now. Very challenging--digging, barking at night, getting out of the yard, and having a nice "romp" through the neighborhood while I try and reign her back in, but the challenges are getting easier as she gets older. The most beautiful breed in the world. Love my pyr...

Have printed myself silly tonight; your articles have been priceless for us and our 4 yr old she-Pyr. We had had a Pyr-mix for 11 yrs, with little knowledge of who she had been, but loving her and valuing her all the same. And now we are trying to better understand this gal who has been with us happily for past year. This one is purebred, well bred and the most lovely and willing dog; but DEFINITELY a possessor of Pyrenee traits. We are trying to "do right" by this one, and your information will be put to practice immediately. Thankfully, some of it we have figured out already. :) She is perfect with our livestock in general, but we do have the female agressive problem with a younger dog of mixed breed. Both females are spayed. She likes and tolerates our Schnauzer male just fine. We are currently introducing her to chickens, and that is a challenge for the moment!

My pyr, Tucker, is 8 1/2 years old and we just went through a medical scare, primarily manifested in severe diarhea. After x-rays and numerous tests the vets couldn't find anything specific. He's back to normal now (1 week later) but I'm wondering if anyone else with an older pyr has experienced any severe gastro-intestinal problems. He's mainly an indoor dog and a very picky eater, so I don't think it was anything he got into. Any info would be appreciated.

What a super website! We are enjoying all the pictures of Pyrs and all the great information. We hope to locate a "boyfriend" for our 2 1/2 year old Pyr, "Heidi", so we can breed her at least once. We are located in northern WI and wish to locate a male in our area. Keep up the fine work and a "hairy" hello to all you Pyr owners!

To Ted & Denise Glock - Hi. Saw your message about wanting a 1-2 year old pyr. I'm in Austin, Texas & there seem to be an abundance of 1-3 year old pyrs here. I'm actually looking for a small puppy and can't seem to find one anywhere right now!! If you want, Kim Collins is the chairman of the Great Pyrenees Rescue Organization here in Austin. She has 2 5-month old puppies, both female. She also has all kinds of contacts for adult dogs. Her e-mail address is targetmarket@compuserve.com. Good luck in your search!

This is a wonderful information place.We just got a pry puppy, 3 months old. Hedi is wonderful. One thing I have picked up on is she will hop with her front paws, when she wants attention, and at night even tho I have taken her water away at nite, she wakes up just to go out, 3 to 6 times a nite. Which would be ok if it was a potty break,but just to go play. Wonder if anyone else had gone through this little stage and how do I slow this down alittle. Would love to know what sleep is like again. We take the dogs for a 2 mile walk almost every nite.Any IDEAs folks.I would love any and all help...Thanls Mickey

We have a "rescue " pyr for 9 years now. He is 10 - 11 yrs. old. He is now experiencing many symptoms of old age. His back legs are becoming weaker. He still enjoys his meals and (short) walks. Florida isn't the best place for a pyr in summer, but, he is inside in air conditioning most of the time, I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has any suggestions on how to deal with this inevitable aging process.

We have been dog and Cat owners all our married ( & unmarried!) lives. Both of our children - 9 & 3 are also animal lovers. We have recently adopted a 118lb, 2yr old Male Pyr named Tiny. The young man whom raised Tiny from a Pup was killed suddenly in an automobile accident. Tiny is SO SAD. Does ANYONE know of ANYTHING we can do to help him get over this? We are keeping his name the same and giving him LOTS of attention, BUT his appetite is just not there and he LOOKs so sad. We have had a lot of different types of Dogs in our Lives, But this Pyr appears to be the Best by far. We can only imagine what he would be like as a puppy! Anyway, great site for us to learn how to care for our new addition, BUT if anyone can share any information about his mental status, we would appreciate it. Thanks

A friend gave us a 3 month old female py 11 months ago. I was against having her because we already had 2 small dogs (pomeranians). Knowing how big py's get I didn't think this was a good idea. "Abby" is now 14 months old and the pom's are her best friends. I don't know what we would do without this most lovable baby. We have always had small dogs and never had an interest in the large breeds, but we have already decided that when the small dogs have passed on that we will definately get another py. They are the smartest, most gentle and lovable dogs that we have ever known. Their eyes will tell you everything!

I bought my first Pyr nearly two years ago and it's been a pleasure to be a proud owner of one of these beautiful and loving Pyr's. She is now a St. John's Ambulance theropy dog in Hamilton Ontario Canada. People look forward to her visits. She is so lovable. Everywhere we go, we have so many people stop and ask questions about the Pyr breed. Of course she likes to be petted and would rollover so they can rub her belly. I can't wait until I have a few more to own and love. The greatest dog I have every own.

She is one of the sweetest pets I've ever owned but I'm afraid I've been at kind of a loss on how best to take care of her (my other dogs require very little grooming just lots of love) Your site was very informative. Anyone else with any tips on grooming, feeding or anything else I should know about a Pyr an email would be greatly appreciated.

Her pictures or talking about Queen still bring tears to our eyes. We are still mourning her and it is hard. We plan to get another pup in a few months. We live in Colorado, does anyone know of any reputable breeders in the area ?

I rescued "Shep" my 5-yr old, 95 male Pyr. A transient cabin renter near our North TX weekend property gave him to me over 2 yrs ago. Shep is a perfect companion and settled well into his surburban life, with daily walks on leash and frequent squirrel and rabbit chases! Since I care for my wife who has chronic progessive MS, Shep helps me by staying close to her wheelchair at meals to snatch the occasional crumb which may fall!! He is always gentle, and never in her way--loves all home visitors we invite and is friendly to everyone passing on the walks and parkway trails, especially children. I included this wonderful website as a "Top 10" favorite in my personal HomePage.

Our Pyrennes named Max is just 5 months old. I have a lot of questions. Max hardly ever barks, only at cats which he also likes to chew on. Is his lack of barking because he is a puppy? We want him to be a pet and a guard dog on our farm. We have a terrible time of getting him to eat. He loves table food because the owners we got him from feed the pups table scraps, but only eats his dog food (IAMS) when he is desperate. He seems awlful skinny to me, but maybe its because he is growning. He now weighs 58 pounds. Is this normal for his age(5months)? HE also chews on himself. He does not have fleas since we treat him with Advantage. He has chewed a lot of his hair off of his stomach and under his legs. Is this normal? Any advice would be helpful! Thanks, Faydra Christensen salvage@dtgnet.com

NEED HELP.... I have a 7 month, 90 lbs, spayed female pyr. I have had her for since she was 14 weeks old. I still can not get her to go out side all the time. She asks, but If I don't get to her right a way, she goes to the bathroom all over blankets, rugs, and wood floors. I love her, and I would Never spank her. How do I get her to stop?

We were the lucky parents of a Great Pyre for 11 years. We got him from a shelter at 8 months of age and had him for 11 years. When he left the wife said NO MOre dogs. So we went for two years without. Now we have a Westie. What a change. We miss Klondike and have a tribute to him on Doogies web page at www.flash.net/~idovdo.

He is as gentle with the newborn kittens as with the livestock, visitors, and other dogs. He comes from working stock. We love him dearly . Maybe we are just lucky not to have some of the behavioral problems others have. We'd love to compare notes.

Great site, very informative, love the pictures!! It's refreshing to hear that it is not just my 18 month old female, Samantha, is not the only Pyr who digs, barks, and usually doesn't listen unless it fits her agenda! Looking forward to chatting with other Pyr lovers as there are not too terribly many in my hometown who have Pyrs as pets, most are stock guards (too bad for their owners) and don't get the quality of love and attention that they should. Therefore goofy tales of digging up flower bulbs and upsetting new neighbors by barking at nothing isn't quite as appreciated here as it is with all of your wonderful members. Keep up the great work!! We'll definately be back.

I enjoyed the comments on living with Pyr's. I got my first; a male named "Harry" 17 months ago. I got my second; his sister "Sally" a year later. I think Pyr's are like potato chips, you can't have just one!

Hi everyone - Great website. I have just received my first Pyr. She is so sensitive and loving - a great dog. She is extremely smart also. Her name is Kiska and she's all white, of course. The only problem I have with her is she does not seem to recognize the "come" command. She just simply will not come. Other than that, she is extremely loving and smart. Is this a trait (I had heard it was) and if it is, how do you teach a Pyr pup to come on command rather than when they want to? Keep up the good work. Love your website.

My boyfriend and I just recently adopted two Great Pyranees sisters, Belle and Zuni. They were 18 months when adopted from an animal shelter. They had been abandoned by their previous owners who could not keep them because they lived in a covenant community. They had had their vocal chords cut because of this. Anyway, we adopted them and were all living happily with our other two German Shepards and nine cats until we found out Zuni had cancer. The diagnosis was not good, but she underwent emergency surgery and is now recovering with her sister happily, with periodic chemotherapy treatments. Hopefully she is safe now and it will not return. Belle would be lost without her sister because they are litter mates and have never been apart for more than a day or two. My boyfriend and I have always loved Great Pyranees. These are the first we have ever owned, but we have had nothing but wonderful experiences so far, and we hope they will live with us happily and healthy for a good long time.

We are considering buying a pyr. Are they a playful type of dog? Would they be a good dog for a family with two children 8 & 10, who enjoy spending time with their dog? We lost our Golden, "Dusty" at 12 yrs of age this summer of a heart attack. We were introduced to the Great Pyrenees at a local dog show on the week-end and were very impressed withis beautiful dog.

I just found this site. I found a Pyr in April that was wandering in traffic. He weighed 64 lbs, had heartworms and a severe ear infection. I could not find his owner. His name is Bob, he is 96 lbs, and heartworm free. But, he keeps getting out of our 6 foot fenced yard. The yard is 150 ft x 72 ft, so he is not cramped and we have two other dogs that keep him company. He has access to a dog door, so he can go outside when he wants to. Any ideas?

Hi All, My kennel name is "DEVOIR" French (of course) Meaning: Homework and to owe. I feel that we all owe so much to this remarkable breed and you can't do it any justice if you don't do alot of home-work. Not to mention the financial exspense in owning several Pyrs.

I have had two Pyrs for eight years and two weeks ago I had to put one down. My other Pyr is refusing to stay by herself in the evenings. She is destroying doors and windows to get out. I must note she is also deaf and has been from birth. I realize she is going through separation anxiety, but I would love any advise on how to help her. Thanks
