We've been learning a lot about the Great Pyrenees breed in the past few months. Mainly, they define the word stubborn. Pete hears everything you say, understands it exactly and then says to himself, 'nah, I'm not doing that right now'. Often times, he responds a few minutes later, or whenever he feels like it. :D

Otters are mean. Cute but mean. As bad as alligators around here. They can snatch a small dog, pull him under the water and drown him just like a gator does. Be careful!

Thanks :D Pete doesn't have a girlfriend, but he has a boss for sure. When our 15-pound Miniature Schnauzer Dante says 'jump', Pete says 'when and how high?' When Pete rough-houses with the neighbor's dog (a 60-pound Coonhound), Dante will get right in the middle of them and push them apart. :D

Speaking of Great Pyrenees, this little five year old is looking for a new home. I alreat have three big dogs but the wife is saying "what's one more"
Help me!
As mentioned, she is a 5 year old female, chipped, spayed great with kids and great indoors. Pretty rare for a Pyrenees. They really like to patrol their property.
She is in Marietta Ca. New baby has the house a little too crowded.

Curt I get it. We adopted a young, feral Great Pyrenees about five years ago. We have a large dog yard with a 6 ft fence (jumps it with ease) and a kennel attached to the house but Cleopatra just doesn't want to be a pet. We bread her with my Golden with the hopes that would make her a home body but 7 weeks in, she tapped out. She has a job to do and she needs to free-range.
We bring her in every few months to clean up her wounds, cut out her mats and just love on her. After 3-4 months she needs to be free. One benefit is, no coyotes on the property. The peacocks love that.

^^^ That's great! :) I ran into some people from TN out on a walk the other day. They have a sheep farm and 3-4 Pyrenees - working farm dogs. They were somewhat amazed that Pete was a house dog and quite well-behaved! He very quickly was house-broken, learned not to chew up things other than his toys and, most importantly for this breed, learned that barking was not allowed in our house. It's hilarious because he still has his natural instinct to bark but does this sort of highly-muffled bark when he senses something going on outside :D

Sorry, no pictures.

I took my wife for a trail ride date yesterday, a new place we've never been before. We were met at the gate by a cattle dog, and my wife tried calling him over for pets, but he was having none of it. Then we saw another, and another, they had at least seven cattle dogs and a very fat sheltie. We got there a little early, and it was pretty remarkable to sit and wait and watch that pack of dogs work the farm and keep all the little critters away.

One of them sat up and barked, then a couple more barked, and they all headed off in the same direction, but it was just the lady that ran the place coming out of her house. It might have been pretty close to dinner time.

Might need a DNA test to know for sure, or just go with "mutt"

I was helping a friend locate a GSD and came across Athena, who's less than 13 months old. My friend decided to get a Bernedoodle, but I took Athena- I always wanted a GSD. She's small- about 50 lbs, but should fill out to 55-60. She's very sweet and shy, but I think she won't be shy for long. My standard poodle can't wait for her to play, but she's being very cautious so far (it's only been a couple hours). She'll made a good play mate for Zora.

^^^ Great looking GSD . Make sure your vacuum cleaner is up to snuff . There's a reason they are called German shedders 😃 . Our GSD mix is a shedding machine ! But a very good dog .

Wait. What?

She seems to be very alert and vigilant. And she checks in with me constantly. Like 30 times now.

Our GSD mutt is constantly taking inventory of my wife and myself . He always wants to know where we are . Go to the bathroom he follows . Go to the kitchen he follows . Go outside he laser locks on and watches until you come in . GSD's really want to be with you all the time and don't like being left behind . They are very loyal . Have fun with the new pup.

Laser focus is right. Full attention mode always- the breeder said she was his best guard dog. Follows me everywhere.

My friend wanted a non-shedding fluffy companion dog and pulled the trigger on this Bernedoodle pup. She's probably going to name her Mabel:
