BTW: No one should ever take in a breed without studying up on what is required to take care of it effectively. I have done this prior to every dog I’ve owned, including this one.( as a matter of fact, it was actually a requirement to my adopting her by her former “ mom”.
These LDGs Are 1000 year old breeds they look at you like a dumb puppy. They know what to do with hundreds of years of experience. I had 2 and when they got out they would drop coyotes on my porch like cordwood. When the pack was gone they came home.
I pray the dog is safe.
Girl, you are not kidding. I have two AS pups 8 and 9 months old. They are a full time job!
I don't know a thing about Pyrenees but the dog in the pic is gorgeous.❤
I'm in Morgan County and we have wandering Pyrs constantly! The last one was on my road and it took us 3 days to catch him. Lord knows how long and far he'd been wandering, he was a mess. They're smart as a whip and wont go near a trap. Three days to gain trust and then snagged him with a leash which he did not appreciate, but after some much needed medical care he headed North through rescue and is living the good life. You are spot on with your advice! Thank you for trying to help that baby and getting the word out❤
I trained my Bernese Mountain Dog Shepherd mix to be my medical alert dog. She started at 10 weeks and was a great learner. I never had any problems of disobedience. She has been on many flights, took a train, a Greyhound bus, city bus, never any problems in the hospital with me, stayed in recovery, was with me during x-rays, mammograms. I couldn't be more proud of her. She saved me six times and once from being a robbery victim. Yes she is a big dog for some of the things we've been through. She's retired now so just for curiosity I had a DNA test done since she originally came from a animal shelter and to my amazement she's not a Bernese shepherd mix although she looks like one 100 percent. She is a Great Pyrenees Shepherd mix. Now her whole life she has had our acre of land fenced in on a dead end road with 3 other Great Pyrenees that were our neighbors. I never thought she acted like one of them. The more I hear about them I am amazed. The 3 on my road fit the description. She is a moody dog and guarded our outside cats, and my foster raccoons squirrels, deer and possum from the coyote along with me when I was in the flower bed. Only once had she got out of the fenced area and that was because I passed out and she jumped the fence to get help from a neighbor. Clearly the best dog I have had. I still laugh when thinking she is a Pyrenees mix and not a Bernese mix.
We’re looking into LGD. I’m having some hesitations about the GP.
Hangry is a real thing lol I feel ya
Ya can't cage em. They'll bolt on ya
I have two and they have minds of their own and good god they are stubborn
I thank God that mine have minds of their own. Saved my life more than once
Thank you!
We have owned several Anatolian crosses, a full blooded Anatolian Shepherd, and currently a Great Pyrenees. They were failed lgd's and they take constant training and must have a job. They can out think most owners because they have hundreds of years of breeding to be thinkers and prevent something happening to their charges. We have a huge yard and lunge lines set up because the neighborhood only allows 4 for fences. Many neighbors walking the paths behind our house have gotten very attached and always say hi to our dogs, who eagerly say hi back.
They are so different from other breeds, you really have to be on your toes all the time.
Oh boy you are spot on!! I've had 4 different Great Pyrenees and they do have a mind of their own! The one I have now that I purchased as a puppy when I moved to East TN from CA has been the most challenging one EVER…He literally thinks he is the BOSS and I'm to obey him! I've always had mine on my ranches with total fencing 5 acres and also cross fenced – yes they can jump – this one I have jumped over my inner backyard chain fence I'd put up for my little Shih Tzu and Pomeranian. Ruined the fence too – the only thing I've found that works on him if I don't want him in the house (he seems to always want inside) is to tell him I need to Clean his Ears! I grab the ear cleanser and actually now don't even need that – just to say "Ok then I'm going to clean your ears!" and he runs the other way! HAHAHA!
our neighbor had one it would bark all night, I like him cause he kept the coyotes away, I could imagine other people probabley thought he was a pest, one night that bark was not heard , later I Found out from my neighbor that that dog was hit and killed on the highway, I still miss that dog.
This was important to know for the future. Thank you.
They are bred to do a job.like being in the military- training is all of it. Respect the animal, train for the job, respect yourself.failure is not an option.thanks, dear.
i have a Maremma who just turned 1. am presently lookin for a 3 to 5 acre in W VA or Tenn to retire to (mid fifties). i homestead as much as i can in long island ny. i'm gettn that itch in my brain that i'm meant to be elswhere like yesyerday lol.
I got two Pyrenees for free. They had been in with goats. I had a pen… they jumped it. Had a garage my big boi ate a hole through the wall when he got closed in. Yet, they never left the property to roam. They sat on the front porch. And only left it if someone got to close because they were protective of me and the babies. Rarely, barked unless necessary. My ex didn't like them because they shed all over the porch. It became my son's job to sweep it. They preferred me to him like all our other dogs did. Giving them up was the right hard thing to do… should is have keep them instead, cuz he moved me farther from my friends and family, then left.
Macon Co. Another Pyrenees has disappeared. They believe she was stolen.
Our Rotties are work dogs. We love them but they are not our pets. They have a job to do and they do it very well.
Ugh! Thank you for this! I had a neighbor that took one in due to the owner not having been able to properly train him. Less than a year old. The wife wanted it because it reminded her of the Coca-Cola polar bears. Of course they had no idea and no job for him! He kept getting out and coming to my place and chasing my pregnant goats. I would take it back constantly and begged them to please keep him home. It got to the point where I told them if he came over again I would have to shoot him because he injured my pregnant herd mama. They brought a printout over trying to tell me that he was breed to herd and wouldn’t hurt my animals. I tried to explain that he had not been trained and that my animals saw him as a predator! They just didn’t get it! He continued getting loose but after my chasing him off, I couldn’t really shoot him cause it wasn’t his fault, he stopped coming over. He would run the perimeter of our land. I saved him from getting hit several times as well. I wish people would do their homework before getting any animal!
I have that sign! I knew we were kindred spirits!
