I finally got pictures of my 3 new family members! Sheba/momma, Hondo/white male, Cara/red female. It's so funny how the puppies turned out! Cara is built and has the coat of her momma (Pyr), but the coloring of her daddy (a red Anatolian). Hondo has the coloring of momma but the coat and...

I'm so sorry for your loss. Coming to this decision is always the most difficult, but the most loving thing an owner has to do. Chewy was so lucky to have been a part of your family.

Thank you for your input. I'm so glad your sister told you about your dog! I can't stand to see any dog chained. You gave her a wonderful life!

We are most likely keeping both puppies. My friend who wants the female lives in the suburbs and has no experience with LGDs or a dog as big as these may get. Her sons who live at home are against getting the puppy, and while someone will be home most of the time and they have a fenced yard, I...

I did end up getting a second puppy.....yes, from the same farm. I couldn't stop thinking about her......BUT I am considering letting her go to someone I know personally where she would have a wonderful life as a pet. I mainly took her because 1) The farmer let me have 2 for $100 less than if...

Just curious to know.....? how many of you have more than two lgds on your property? How do they behave together or are they separated? Seriously considering going back and getting another puppy from the farmer I got my 5 year old female and one of her male puppies from......

I brought my LGDs home yesterday morning and am so THRILLED with them! Momma is a beautiful 5 year old Great Pyrenees, Sheba. I named her pup (a male) Hondo. They are such amazing dogs! Hondo's father is an Anatolian----I was afraid to get out of the car at the owner's home, but he's just a...

Thank you all! #1 it is!

I understand where you're coming from.....but I ultimately decided AGAINST 2 puppies (siblings or not) and am getting a fully trained 5 year old female Pyrenees and one of her pups.

Oops.....just saw how old this post is....

I could, but I believe in spaying/neutering. I don't need the surrounding male dogs being drawn to my property either....we live in an area where many people think it's ok to let their dogs be unconfined and unsupervised.....because we're out in the country.. Plus, it coukd draw male coyotes. I...

I'm almost always against breeding. BUT I do recognize tge need for certain breeds to continue.....only in the case of dogs still used as working/service dogs. If she is truly a great representative of what a working LGD should be, then I think you should breed her......IF you are totally...

Hi! Some of you have seen my posts about searching for a pair of LGDs and that I am going to meet a 5 year old female and her pups this weekend. The momma is free and I'd be taking her and one of the male puppies. I obviously need to get momma spayed (at LEAST before the puppy is 6 mos or...

Thank you! I can't wait to meet them on Saturday!!

I am EXTREMELY excited about happening upon this adult Pyrenees needing a home! Being active in dog rescue my entire life, I have always balked at buying a puppy from a breeder. I was feeling a little guilty about buying purebreed pyr puppies.....although I do fully understand that there are...

Came to ANOTHER decision today! We decided the second set of pups is just too far to travel. What if they aren't really what we expected? It would be an 8 hour round trip. I know that might not be a big deal to some, but that's a long time in a vehicle for me. There has also been a spot of...

Well, I did not get those 2 pyr pups....I think someone else bought them this weekend (they already had made arrangements to look at them). It's fine, because the person selling them told me they were both female. I have been reading as much as possible on LGDs (mainly about Pyrenees) and it...

I just found these 2 Pyrennes puppies for sale very close to me! They are 3 1/2 months old, out of working stock. Here is part of the ad: "They have been raised outside as guardians for our small farm. Exposed to chickens, goats, ducks, ponies, small children, and loud vehicles." If they are...

THANK YOU!! I have pot belly pigs, Nigerian Dwarf goats, a miniature horse and soon a former pony ride pony. We also have 45 chickens, but are building them a new coop closer to the house with 2 runs (one 10'x10', available at all times and a 30'x32' available for most days (the only times they...

Does anyone use unconventional breeds for guarding livestock or mixed breeds? What age is too old to start training a dog as an LGD? Also, does anyone have house dogs and LGDs? We have 7 house dogs, none of them are LGD breeds, all rescues. I considered training one of them, but don't think...
