About the Great Pyrenees
Frequently described as “majestic,” Pyrs are big, immensely strong mountain dogs standing as high as 32 inches at the shoulder and often tipping the scales at more than 100 pounds. These steadfast guardians usually exhibit a Zen-like calm, but they can quickly spring into action and move with grace and speed to meet a threat. The lush weatherproof coat is all white, or white with markings of beautiful shades of gray, tan, reddish-brown, or badger.
The Great Pyrenees dog conveys the distinct impression of elegance and unsurpassed beauty combined with great overall size and majesty. He has a white or principally white coat that may contain markings of badger, gray, or varying shades of tan. He possesses a keen intelligence and a kindly, while regal, expression. Exhibiting a unique elegance of bearing and movement, his soundness and coordination show unmistakably the purpose for which he has been bred, the strenuous work of guarding the flocks in all kinds of weather on the steep mountain slopes of the Pyrenees.

Are you thinking of homesteading, farming or raising a family? Pyrenees are the #1 choice of livestock guardians for families with children because of their nurturing nature. You need a pair of Livestock Guardian dogs if you have good sized acreage and need 24/7 protection. Pairs are the best for predator control, such as bears, mountain lions, coyotes, foxes, raccoons, etc. They have an unspoken agreement as to who is on duty and when backup is needed they all jump in for the action! Loosing your livestock can be tragic! LGDs are an essential tool! They will keep working and loving you back for life! They are the perfect farm & country family pet!
