Finding Loving Homes for Our Lovable Dogs
A Great Pyrenees the Right Dog for You
If you want a dog who...
- Is very large and rugged, resembling a majestic white bear
- Will be protective of your property and livestock if properly trained to do so
- Can be found with a strong protective temperament, or a more easygoing mellow temperament
- Tends to be serious and steady, rather than playful and silly
- Is quiet indoors and content with moderate exercise
A Great Pyrenees may be right for you.
A Great Pyrenees may not be the Right Dog for You
If you don't want to deal with...
- A very large dog who takes up a lot of space in your house and car
- A heavy dog who wants to sit on your feet, lie on your lap, and lean his weight against your leg
- A dog that can be aggressive or fearful if not properly socialized as a puppy
- A strong-willed dog who requires a confident owner
- Providing at least four foot, secure fencing and supervision to prevent wandering
- Deep booming barks whenever he/she hears a sound, especially at night
- Heavy shedding
A Great Pyrenees may not be right for you.
