Great Pyrenees and Great Pyrenees pictures
The Great Pyrenees is a very large animal with a solid muscular body;
it gives the distinct impression of elegance and unsurpassed beauty
combined with great overall size and majesty. It has a weather resistant
coat that will allow it to withstand intense cold temperatures.
This breed needs close human companionship, attention and lots of
space. The Great Pyrenees will not do well with apartment dwellers.
This breed is pleasant, gentle, loyal and extremely intelligent.
The Great Pyrenees is very loyal and devoted to its family even
if self-sacrifice is required. It is gentle, serious, calm, and
well mannered. It is courageous, and obedient. This dog is very
affectionate with those it loves. It does best with children when
it is raised with them from puppyhood. It has an independent, somewhat
stubborn nature, and may try to dominate a less secure owner. It
may be slightly difficult to train; it needs a consistent, patient
owner. The Great Pyrenees is good with non-canine animals, and usually
loves cats. Socialization at an early age is important. Males can
be aggressive with other animals. This dog does not reach maturity
until it is about 2 years old. Some are not good off the leash and
may wander away. This breed tends to bark a lot and some tend to
drool and slobber. It needs plenty of exercise to stay in shape.
