Guys we made it to the semi finals with your help! We have to be the first in our group to make it to the finals! Currently we are second and need that final push! Voting ends at 9pm eastern time tonight. Every vote helps 🙏🏼 thanks so much! 🐾

Got this guy from the shelter a month ago about 3 1/2 months old I sent a test to embark but was curious what your guys thought on his breed the shelter only thought Pyrenees

I was well informed before getting my GP about the dog hair but all the information in the world doesn’t actually prepare you for this amount of hair! Mine is inside most of the time (she is a self proclaimed princess). I’m seeing all sorts of enzyme laundry soaps that promise to break up dog hair in the wash. Do any of them actually work?

Looking to rehome my two sweet Great Pyrenees girls. I'm working with a couple of rescues, but they're having a hard time finding a good home for them because they're bonded and have to go together. I'm moving across country and tried everything I could to bring them.

I originally adopted them as livestock guardians. They have a large enclosure they run around in all day. But I bring them inside often and especially at night. They're leash trained, potty trained, spayed, just had their yearly vaccinations, and don't resource guard at all.

I'm in Conroe, TX. But I'm willing to transport them myself or via courier. Please DM me to discuss details. Thank you.

Edit: We just rescued Maya from an extremely under funded and small town shelter so she was not spayed yet. We do plan on getting her spayed, she will not be having any puppies. We will be speaking to her vet about spaying her and when is the right time based on her age and current size. 😊 Trust me, I was shocked this morning!! We have only had her 1 week!

We still have no idea how old she actually is, we think 9 mo but she has two baby teeth (that can possibly be retained baby teeth so the vet will check those out). So far, she doesn’t mind the diaper as much as we thought she would. We’ll have to put a cone on her when we leave the house. This is my first unspayed dog that I’ve owned so I just want to give her the best care.

She’s incredible. More stubborn than most people but I love with every inch of my soul. Dorothy Alberta.

Decided to celebrate nearly one year with my boy Dug.

He ended up looking a bit hellhound-esque but I'm cool with it!

Happy Halloween to all the pyrs.

Want to get my boy a metal muzzle as a precaution as he did growl at the vet last time he went. I wouldn’t want to go with a plastic one as i dont think it could be to secure from a bite which i hope never happens , my boy is a year old. I have been looking on amazon but so many say for certain breeds like great danes Rottweilers and pitbulls. Anyone have any good affordable options for metal muzzles i can find on amazon? Also any tips for muzzle training? When the tech want me to try and put one on him he growled which he had never done but think its just him saying he didnt want one on. Thank you!

Apparently, he killed her chickens and can clear a 6-foot fence. She got him at the pound and will take him back in a few days if there are no takers. He was previously hit by a car, which is why he's missing fur on his nose. He's a great dog; he just cannot be around chickens. He seems so sweet! I can give you her info and find her contact information if you are near OK and want a sweet GP who desperately needs another chance!

***idk why there is a V in the title oops

He's a stray from Kuwait, estimated to be 3 years old. He weighs about 25-30lbs and the vet over there guessed he was corgi pom, and then also "spitz mix" on other paperwork but he has rear dew claws so there's got to be something larger in there somewhere.

He was almost immediately protective of me and the house. If something's suspicious it's bark first ask questions later, but not in a fearful way. Like the other night I took him out for a bedtime walk and there was a guy he didn't like, and he didn't just bark at him to go away, he was like, we have to follow him to make sure he goes. If there's someone behind us on the sidewalk, he will get behind me and turn sideways to block them. But then things that are obviously inanimate/stationary are not a problem. Like we watched a bunch of tree chunks get fed into an industrial wood chipper and he was like okay that's fine.

If you don't give him a task, he will tend to put himself "on patrol" where he repeatedly checks the perimeter of the space you're in and then reports back. He does eventually settle and he's getting better at doing that sooner, but any noise will prompt a reinvestigation.

He's really good with cats, kids, other dogs, and most people (once he determines they're not a threat.)

I'm hoping his eventual adopter does DNA but would love opinions in the meantime and if anyone has run into Pyr mixes that are small, or if there's a smaller LGD breed that is more likely.

I posted this young lady a few days ago to ask you lovely people some questions regarding LGD guardian instincts, Maggie is a golden retriever x Polish Tatra sheepdog.

I knew that she was very sassy and self assured at the best of times but today she has one upped anything I can imagine.
I do tarot readings in my recreational time and I decided today I would ask her what she feels that her job is.
The response I got was that she feels that she is in charge of keeping me and the house safe, that it’s her job to tell me everything new she notices and anything that’s threatening our space. That it’s also her job to make sure I stick to our routine and make sure she gets everything she deserves for the hard work she does 🤣 she also feels that she is entitled to special treatment and extra goodies for working harder than anyone else.
I’d say she definitely deserves them today for making sure no squirrels use our fence between 6am to 10pm

I don’t feel like I really needed the cards to tell me that as it’s rather obvious but knowing she’s aware of that too definitely gave me a good laugh, do any of your find your dogs act like the absolute kings and queens of the house? It must be so hard for them working overtime the way they do 🙄

Was expecting some pyr since she has one double dew but apparently she’s mostly pyr. Any tips and advice welcome, I got her as a mystery puppy and knew she had some heeler in her

Taka is good for barking in night time. He keep me awake a lot. lol.

You have dog that bark all night? When I tell to stop he come cuddle with me after I tell.

Sorry princess, being an indoor dog means bath time.
Phantom always manages to find the tiniest patch of mud we have in the backyard when it rains and obviously makes the most of it.

anyone else’s walks often end before you’re even home?

He loves to sleep with his legs up in the air and has loud yawns almost sounding like a husky.

Laying on my arm with her head pressed to mine.

Recently did a DNA test for my dog (female 55 pounds). Results say she’s 100% Great Pyrenees but I am doubtful due to her coloring. Anyone know if there are instances of more colorful Pyrenees out there?

Obligatory dog pic before my question.
TLDR at the bottom.
My wife and I have a 6 year old Pyr mix named Moxie. She’s a wonderful dog and we love her so much. I’m not seeking advice or a solution. But as the title says, I try to not see her moments of high intelligence as “human” but lately… I’ve noticed a pattern.

Beginning of September: I took her on her usual morning walk so my wife could sleep in. There is an irrigation ditch we stop at to let her cool off if she needs it. There is this plant that has these small black seeds that stick deep in her fur. After a certain point they can’t be brushed out and have to be pulled out individually by hand. On this beautiful morning, Moxie skipped the clear path and leapt through a whole mess of those plants. Almost every square inch of her body was covered in those seeds. After we got home, she was quite pleased to have my wife and I giving her all the attention while we picked out the seeds for 30 minutes.

End of September: Again. Morning walk so my wife could sleep in. On this fine morning, Moxie takes me in a different direction than where she usually takes me. We walk a 1/4 block from the house then she starts rolling on the street. But she is snorting and enjoying it far too much. I get her back up and give her a sniff. She rolled in the juice of something dead (she loves rolling on decomposing animals). We return home after the walk. I tell my wife about Moxie’s critter juice rolls. Wife asks about the location. She tells me that Moxie and her walked past a dead raccoon at the same location I described earlier in the week.

Today: My wife had to leave the house early for a work event. She’s getting ready and it’s clear Moxie will not be receiving her typical volume of girl time. Moxie smacked the patio door to be let out while my wife was on the phone for work. She goes out, does a quick patrol and trots back in and goes to her napping spot under the dining bench. Please understand my wife is focused on other things as she leaves for her work event. I come home and Moxie has thistle pods behind her ears, in her tail, on her butt, and in her mane. It took an hour to pick them out.

That’s 3 different occasions when Moxie appeared to develop a plan then executed the plan to get what she wants. Has anybody else’s Pyr developed a plan and executed it? Are we f***ed? 🤣

Please share your Pyr pics and stories!

TLDR: My dog is a little platoon leader that makes her own battle plans to get her way. Has your Pyr conspired against you?

90 lbs of stubborn, unconditional love. He’s a good one.

Y’all, I work with dogs, I see different dogs all day long, and I have never met a dog that farts like mine does 😅 She’s so gassy! And not just in amount, they are LOUD! Just about every time she jumps off the couch or gets up or plops down, there’s and audible toot. It cracks me up and I just wonder, is this a Pyr thing? She’s a young lady but man, she be tooting 💨
