I HAVE HAD THE UNIQUE PLEASURE OF OWNING TWO OF THESE MAGNIFICENT CREATURES. I LOVED ONE FOR 16 YEARS BEFORE GOD CALLED HER TO HEAVEN AND I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT THE BREED SO, MY HUSBAND AND I SEARCHED FOR ANOTHER. WE FINALLY FOUND HER 3 STATES AWAY AND ON THE MOVE. SHE IS THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES AND EACH DAY BRINGS A NEW SET OF SUPRISES.

I just loved your pictures. Seeing pictures of Pyrs working is wonderful to me!! Doing what they were bred to do. My Maggie is a, basically, couch potato. She spends most of the winter outside laying around...OR running around barking at the snow flakes, leaves, squirrels, etc. Summers in the air conditioning!! But she is my friend and protector. Thank you for a GREAT site!!!

I have a three year old Pyr named Maggie who is the love of my life! I would love to have another Pyr, but Maggie LOVES being an only child, and she is the boss. These are great dogs - very proud, independent, and selective.

I have a 15 week old Pyr that I can honestly say is my third child! I have never loved a dog like I have this one. I knew nothing about the breed until I got her (Her name is Bethany). Since getting her I have read literally ever book on Great Pyrenees as well as every internet site. I want to learn as much as possible so I will be the best owner!!!!! I am amazed at the gentleness and devotion Bethany has to my family and me already. She is intelligent also. She already knows how to "sit", to "catch", and to "come". She knows what "quiet" means and what "outside" means. She especially knows what "suppertime" means. I am keeping her inside now and hope to continue to keep her inside at all times. Is this fair to her or should I allow her to be an outside dog? We do live in the country and have installed an underground electric fence for her safety, but I still want her to be inside where I can love on her all I want. This breed is absolutely the best! Everything I read makes me want to have even another puppy but I better wait until Bethany gets a little older and my husband gets a little more used to the idea of an inside dog!!!!! This breed of dog is definitely not for everyone because they can be very stubborn. Bethany needs consistent training and I can't let up on her at all on what I expect her to do. I hope when she is older I won't have to be so "on guard" all the time to make sure she is following my rules. I love her anyway. I'm so glad I have her!

What a wonderful page, loved reading all of the stories about people who also love this wonderful breed. I have a 7 year old female Pyr named Millie who has always been the absolute sweetest most even tempered dog I have ever seen. She has gone to school every year [7] with my daughter for show and tell. It never fails that the children yell LOOK AT THAT WHITE BEAR! But they always hug her neck then ask does she bite? Millie loved running and playing tag with the kids years ago but now is just happy being our resident speed bump. She still loves to bark, its her way of saying Im on duty. If you have neighbors near by dont get a Pyr. they bark alot and I know of no way to break them its in there breeding. We live in central Ca. so summers can be very hot, Millie spends her days inside sleeping under the swamp cooler. Millie does have a moist dermatitus the vet gave her med. for it but to no avail, the only thing Ive found that helps is a trim in the summer and bathes in Neutrogenia T-gel shampoo, this can be expensive since Millie weighes in at a whopping 135lbs. Millie loves all animals and has even found baby birds on the ground and nuzzled it with her nose to show me, I bought Millie a Pygmy goat, she loved her but the goat got very mean to Millie so I seperated the two. I also have 2 Australian Cattle Dogs and they try to herd Millie but shes always very forgiving.I will always have a Pyr in my house they are the best breed ever, so I can tolerate the drool covered pants and hairy white furniture as part of the package.

We have 4 adult great pyrenees and are raising a pup for Mike's mother. We have such a passion for them. They are like our children. We love them each and every one. Gunny was our first and he is now 2 years old, just started him in "puppy" classes--people are very impressed this huge dog can roll over!! Barbie is an older female I rescued from the animal hospital I work at. The others, Sid and Lindee, just "fell into our hands". Weisser will soon go to live with Mike's mom as soon as he is crate trained--whatta job. They are all a great enjoyment. We would be so lost without them.

We have a 8 week old Pyr. named "Chrissy's Baron's Belasaurs Kilo". He is cute, energetic, and looks like a white version of chubaka. His nickname is Kilo, and we call him this because (1) you cannot help but be addicted to him, (2) He is so heavy, and (3) He is solid white. He is the greates dog. If you don't have one, you need to get one.

We have a 2yr. old pyr named Merlin. He loves to protect his family from the shadows and crickets at night, and is very noisey about it, but if we let him in the house at night he's quiet and sedate. I guess he figures as long as those things that threaten his family stay outside, its O.K. to take a little nap sometimes.

I have 2 Great Pyrenees and they are the most lovable and spoiled dogs in the world. We got Pepsi Macu', our female, when she was 7 weeks old and she is spoiled rotten. She knows when and how to get what she wants out of me. We got Samson BO', our male, when he was 3 yrs old. He is so much more reserved than Pepsi. he's definitely a gentle giant. Although they have only been together for 3 months, they are inseparable. If we have to leave Samson home for some reason and take Pepsi, Samson cries until we get back. I couldn't have asked for 2 better dogs!

I have a wonderful, now 2yr old female Pyr named Lilly! She was born on my birthday so there was no parting us at our first meeting. Besides, the kids didn't want to drive 2 hrs.+ at night one way and not bring home a puppy! Despite husband nearly loosing his mind over the BARKING, we have kept her and partially solved the problem by putting her in a nice large kennel in the garage when husband is sleeping. She is of course utterly devoted and committed to protecting me.....even from myself if need be (she comes to rescue me when I pinch my finger and say "Ow!" in the basement)! She does seem to reflect my inner identity. A friend once said that Lilly seemed to her to be my "familiar" as cats have been portrayed in movies to their owners. So I guess you can tell I'm a devoted Pyrenee Owner. I would love to breed but worry about the financial commitment as far as what it costs to actually raise a puppy to adoption age. There is also the question of whether there are potential homes for these new puppies. Also, how many per litter are usually born? (We are also a 4H family and have sheep and other assorted animals. We are not irresponsible in our breeding practices.)

I have a 3 year old male Great Pyr named "Samson". He is dearly loved. Since our move to Oregon he is having trouble with alot of itching. It's driving him crazy - it isn't fleas - & the Vet has him on Prednisone, which gives him an enormous appetite. I don't want him always hungry & I don't want him miserable with scratching. Has anyone else had experience like this?

Onze hond is 3/4 pyreneer en 1/4 Berner Sennen. Is nu vijf maand oud, 38 kg en 66 cm. Ondanks zijn grootte en lompheid (een echte pyreneer in doen en laten) denken wij er sterk over om er nog een echte pyr bij te nemen. We hebben in het verleden Leonbergers gehad, niets verkeerds daarover, maar dit slaat alles. Deze hond is voor ons "op maat gesneden". Fantastisch zoals deze zich aanpast zonder z'n eigenwijsheid te verliezen. Nu al zo lief, trouw en niet vervelend aanhankelijk. We lachen ons krom om de lompe maar zeer humoristische "streken". Zeuren doet hij nooit, niet om eten, niet om uitgelaten te worden, enz. Laat in het volste vertrouwen op z'n baas de boel maar op zich afkomen. Soms denken we echt een kind in huis te hebben. Nog nooit zo van een hond genoten, en ook nooit geweten dat je dit gedrag en deze totale liefde voor ons gezin van een hond kon verwachten. Deze slaat de Leonbergers met kop en schouders, hoe fijn die ook waren. Een goed ras, met mooie sites op internet voor informatie. Ondanks dat wij onze Bastiaan voor geen goud weer willen missen, toch spijt dat we niet voor een hele echte hebben gekozen, omdat we graag lid van "de club" waren geweest, maar wie weet........

I've had "Frescio" for 4 years now after rescuing him from the pound(he was 9 mo's). Until then I never knew what a "Pry" was. He's been a great dog and fit right into our family along with his "little brother", our White German Shepard, Damion.

I have not a clue what a great pyrenees dog was, but I am reading a novel in which there is one, who has a great personality, plus a litter of puppies. My interest was piqued so had to get on the web and find out about these lovely dogs. I am glad to have the chance to be introduced to this breed, and would love to get to know one someday.

I have been lover of Great pyr's all my life. My aunt was a breeder and I owned a big boy named cruncher when I was young. Since then I have owned labs and Goldens which are great breeds but I always wanted another pyr. I moved out west a few years ago and when I felt the time was right i decided to go for it. I went to humane society one day and to my ammazement there was a 7 month old Pyr there. I fell in love with him immediatly and got him. As it turned out he was not treated very well and had some serious behavior problems. Apparently he was tied to a tree for the majority of his life. He is a very sweet dog and he is not aggresive but he is very destructive loves to dig and has pretty much desroyed the yard and part of the house. I have taken him to training and even had a professional trainer come out and work with him(which was a mistake. All he did was knee him so hard that he could barely walk for two days. I almost killed the guy) Read numerous books and nothing is working. It is getting very frustrating and the last thing I would ever want to do is get rid of him. However I do have to travel occasionally for my job and I have to put him in a kennel when I do travel because my roommate can't handle him. I love him very much and he is a sweet dog but I need help because it is costing me an arm and a leg(sometimes literally, because he likes to chew and when I correct him he thinks its play time and goes beserk) Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I own a male Great Pyrenees, his name is Samuel Adams Beeder, he is 10 months old. I didn't know anything about Great Pyrenees when I purchased him. I am looking for a female, Sam wants puppies as much as we do. We want to name her Maggie. In Nebraska Great Pyrenees are hard to find. I got Sammie from a lady traveling to Oklahoma from California to sell a litter. The puppies got too hot to make the rest of the trip so they were sold here in Nebraska. I am so lucky to have come across Sam, it was love at first sight. Sam needs a girlfriend. Please help. Desperately seeking Maggie, Katina (Nebraska)

We have a great pyr our daughter Amy found tied to a desk at a pet store. She was tied to a desk because they didn't have space large enough for her. She was 2 years old at the time. She is now 15+. Her name is Bear (short for polar bear). She's dearly loved and spoiled rotten. Amy got hooked on the breed and now has two pyrs of her own - a 2+ year old male (Stosh) and an 8 month old female (Stella). They're spoiled even more!

I have a 2 yr old male. He seems to be the playful good natured type. I liked the opinion on the temperment on the breed, but, I do think that it was very generalized. All the Pyrs that I have met have been playful as well as being good watchdogs, and very good around children. I know that mine readily accepts attention from any children. He, however, will not go anywhere near a strange adult.

He is also back with his mother Daisy, which makes me happy to have them reunited. We are excited about getting a new female puppy this weekend (Feb 13, 1999) and have decided to name her Daisy in honor of Juneau's mother. I love this breed and my 4 children love them as well.

I had the opportunity to look through copies of the Western Horseman Magazine from the early seventies. In the back of the magazine there was a pyr ad from a california breeder for a Thunderosa Kennels. I was wondering if anyone knows about them or has dogs that trace back to them-check your pyrs pedegree. The picture showed a fairly classic pyr and since they were sold as working dogs they should have been in pretty good shape hipwise.

Great page. We share our home with a 16 week old Pyr named Cheyenne. I'm going to have to send my wife to training school because she is having a "dominance" skirmish with Cheyenne! What a lovable mutt...especially when she hits the snow and starts somersaulting in joy. I worry a bit about her strange habit of sticking her face in the snow at a full gallop, as I wonder if she might hit a buried twig. So far we have had no problems with aggression or roaming. (We have 16 acres of field and forest.) I'm looking forward to many years of satisfaction and love with our Pyr.

I am so happy to find this page. I have just lost my Pyr "sasha" to cancer this past January 12th. I got her at 3 months and she was the light of my life. I know I want another one. Their is no breed like her. My sasha never barked, never licked but just loved you to death with her beautiful eyes and disposition. She loved everyone and everything. What a joy she brought to me...What a loss to my heart she leaves me with. I just can't say enough about the Pyr...Everyone is trying to talk me out of this type of dog. It is so hard to explain to someone what it is like to own one. I have had other breeds in my life and I loved them also, but,She just tore at my heart strings...I would love to hear from you and thanks for listening...

I have been interested in this breed for a long time. Because I have moved around quite a bit I have felt that it was selfish to own a new puppy and not have the time to spend with him/her. However, I am finally living a more stable life and am looking to own a Great Pyrenees soon. When I was looking initially, I was living out west where I found it to be quite easy to locate breeders. However now that I have moved to the South I am finding it more difficult. DO you have any suggestions or names for me to get in touch with. I would appreciate any information that you could get me. Thank you. P.S. How do Great Pyrenees typically "make it" during the summer months in the South? Any words of advice or hints. THANKS Molly Payne

I am looking for a show quality male, raised with stock, good with people, to start work with me as a mediation assistant. My bitch, Ch. Carillon's Lascivious Conduct, currently works in the child protection mediation environment. I'm looking for a dog with lots of Quibbletown, Rivergrove, or Soleil, or Basquaerie with some Karolaska. This dog will have a varied life of mountain climbing hopefully combined with service work in a courthouse setting. Any kennels with quality stock, steady disposition, inquisitiveness, and confidence would be of interest to me. Size is not nearly so important as soundness of body and mind, athletic ability, and an inquiring mind. It takes a particular Pyr to meet this differing requirements. Thanks for any heads up to good kennels.

we have a 13 mos. old pyr puppy named Kane who almost died at about 3 mos. from parveau...he is about 75-80 lbs. now though and pretty wild. He is really loveable and friendly with everybody, sometimes too much so....he has a very stong personality but is very loveable and we really love him.

I saw my first Great Pyrenees at an AKC dog show in Indiana. It was love at first sight for me. I was with a friend, Barb, and I said "one of these days I will have one of those dogs". I called several pyr breeders to inquire about behavior, traits, etc. I wanted one so badly! I told each person I spoke with that I lived in a residential area that had many small children, (and dogs running loose even with a leash law), and that I used an invisible fence for my 2 golden retrievers and they all said with those circumstances "no way"! Since then, I moved to Virginia and now have 12 acres (fenced)and a pyr! I am so glad I listened to the people who know these dogs. Now I see why it would have been the "wrong place and the wrong time". Barb has her own pet sitting business, and one day she called to tell me she was caring for a pyr whose owner, Sharon, could no longer keep him (she lived in a condo, he was getting big fast, and she worked full-time). I got Munchie when he was 9 months old, not neutered, and 90 lbs. It took a tremendous amount of love for this wonderful dog to give him away so he would have a better environment. I'll always admire and be thankful to Sharon for that, and to Barb who remembered what I had said. Munchie is almost 3, has been neutered, and weighs 150 lbs. He shows no signs of aggressiveness with us (my husband and 11 yr old daughter, our other 2 dogs-a golden and a border collie-, 2 horses, and 3 siamese cats!) I must say there were a few rough spots while adjusting to the cats, but lucky for them, Munchie has never been very fast! And he did chew the arms off of 2 adirondack chairs on my front porch, but oh well. He is now the epitome of a "gentle giant" and we adore him. He makes strangers aware of his presence though, and the deer grazing in our pastures drive him crazy! But he does his job and he does it well. Munchie is a beautiful, very affectionate, intelligent, good natured pyr. I'm so happy he found us.

I have two Pyrs, Cheyenne and Wolfie. Both were given to me - Cheyenne in December 1996(my son swears to this day that Santa brought his "snowdog"!), and Wolfie in September 1998. I cannot imagine life without them, they mean worlds to me. What is really neat about this situation is the fact that, after doing some research and root tracing, I found out that they are actually littermates!! Sounds like an episode of Oprah - "Littermates reunited after three years apart....." !!! After the initial growling and posing, and one or two minor altercations, we all settled in together remarkably well. Cheyenne is the shy one, while Wolf is the lumbering "Gentle Giant" welcome wagon. My friend's 3-year-old daughter is terrified of dogs, but for some reason "Wolfie" doesn't count in that. She waits until he lays down, then curls up in between his front and back legs, leans back on his ribs, and uses him as an easy chair to watch T.V. AND HE LOVES IT!!!! The dogs should run a daycare. When she comes in now, he instantly goes into the living room and lays down in front of the T.V. It is hysterical!!! And I am proud to report that in all the time we have been together I have had not one single item in this house destroyed and not one, single, solitary "accident"(Although I swear they have met me at the door with their legs crossed on days when they had to stay in 10-12 hours!!!) I enjoy their company immensely, and for anyone reading this who does not yet have a Pyr, let me tell you as a single working mother - at the end of a long day when nothing in the world has gone right, a great big white paw or two and some honest, soulful brown eyes looking right into you can make things much, much better. If you don't have a Pyr, get one. And if you don't have room for one - MOVE. I have been fortunate to get two great ones, and I will never have anything else.

Ik heb zelf een Pyreneer gehad, en heb werkelijk met haar gelachen en gehuild. Heb cursussen gedaan, zelfs behendigheid, waar ze heel erg goed in was, echter alleen op de trainingsavonden en niet op wedstrijden :-) en dat typeert een pyreneer vindt ik. Het is een geweldige kameraad, maar beslist geen hond voor iedereen. Tip voor mensen die een Pyreneer in de tuin willen houden: niet alleen de omheining moet hoog genoeg zijn, maar het moet ook een stuk ondergronds. Ik spreek uit ervaring omdat ik op een dag thuis kwam en een gigantisch zwart gat in de tuin vond. Gelukkig was ze wel weer uit zichzelf teruggekomen. Ik heb momenteel 2 Landseren, maar ben toch nog steeds gek op een Pyreneer. Mijn Baruch (betekent gezegend....of zij dat was of ik, ik weet het niet :-)was geweldig !!

We love our pyrenees, we have a male and a female. They make terrific guard dogs for our sheep and are very protective of our two girls, no one will ever do anything to them while those dogs are there.

Hi, we have a 10 month old Pyr (Harley). I wish I would have read more about the breed. I didn't realize they were "roamers" and had to be kept on a leash or fenced area. We have also experienced several times that he violently attackes our smaller (40 lbs) mixed breed over trivial things (dead frog, rock, etc.) I'm afraid one of these times he is going to kill Albert. He pins him down and attacks his neck. We're also afraid he will do this when your 2 1/2 year old daughter may be around. Harley is food crazy. He gets 7 cups of large breed dog food a day and is constantly looking for more to eat. We have to separate the 2 when they eat because he'll scarf his down and attack the other dog for his as well. I have read a lot about aggressive behavior being a problem, should we put him down? My daughter can pet him and we can all put our hands in his bowl whene he's eating his dog food, but give him a bone (basted) and we can't get anywhere near him. My husband has rolled him over and yelled at him several times, but he's 100+ now and I can't handle him or get him off our other dog when this happens. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Harley is very gentle and friendly - so confusing! Please e-mail me at cafagerland@mmm.com Thank you so much.

We recently lost Our companion of 10 years - Cisco a 160 pound gentle giant. We had to put him down after finding that he had cancer of the long bones in his legs. I understand that this is a problem with this breed. We now have two incredible pyrs - Ozzie and Sugar Bear 10 months old and 20 months old.

Loved the web-site. Great to see other PMD owners visiting the site. I own 4 Pyreneans, 3 bitches & 1 dog aging from 20 months to 5 years. Have never looked back since buying our first 12 years ago. Occasionally breed and show all around the UK and hoping to persuade my husband to let me have another litter next year so I can keep another baby. Once you own one - it's hard to stop.

We have laughed at and told stories about the antics of a Pyr who lives in a small area next to his Mommie and Daddy's house with several goats, sheep and chickens for several years. Finally, we could stand it no longer and found Angie. We have had her for over 2 years now, and she runs the show. Enjoyed your site.

Love our Pyr a six year old male named Orso Bianco (White Bear in Italian). He lives with a black lab mix (Lupo) and a crazy cat (Bruja). Orso is a big hit with everyone who meets him, they're intrigued by his size and demeanor.

I've truly enjoyed reading the stories of others who share the love of the Pyrenees breed. I got my first Pyr at age 3 1/2 and he was my very best friend and true childhood companion. I still cherish a picture my mother took of us taking our afternoon nap sharing the same pillow. "Smokey" died when I was fifteen. Although he is still greatly missed and fondly remembered, I have another Pyr companion in my life now who has only comfirmed my love of this breed. "Mason" just celebrated his first birthday. He is truly a gentle giant. He is so affectionate and at times jealous and finds a way to wiggle his 90 lbs. plus body between my husband and I at night in bed.
