Great Pyrenees are the most gentle Gaints. White, Large, and Friendly these dogs have been around for centuries. I have one of my own and I thought before hand that Pyrenees were dumb dogs. Pyrenees Are well know for there will to do work and protective of there family. Exellent with childern, they watch and can sense danger, thus determining the trustworthiness of humnas or other animals. They are very good with Carting, Sledding, Weight Pulling, and BackPacking. They usually get from 130lbs-165lbs and 29in-34in. They like to spend time with their family and love work. Take my advise these dogs are protective and very intelligent.-SnowWolf

These Are Just a few Pyrs!
Great Pyrenees are rather large massive creature. As tho there size is large there heart is larger. They might have an extrodenary size they are very docile. They won't eat from your hand in fear of biting it while taking the treat. They have a very small appitite. Pyrenees are one of THE oldest breeds alive.
Livestock Guardians
The temperament of the Great Pyrenees is ideally suited to the work of LGD's. They do not have a "rush to judgement" when
danger threatens. To do their work they do not have to be "aggressive" but they do have to be stable and self-confident.
Temperament is as important to the LGD as it is to the city dweller. Great Pyrenees needs to be confident in their relations to
man and to predator. If they are stable they will not see everything as a threat but will assess the situation and devise an
appropriate plan for protection. If they are frightened of humans, they tend to run inside the herd and back away. The owners
must run them into sheep pens or tranquilize them in order for shots or medical aid to be given. The Pyr that is confident in his
ability to deal with man and beast can be approached and handled and given medical treatment when needed. We have taken
kennel dogs, family pets, show dogs, and rescue pyrs and placed them in working situations. With very few exceptions they all
take on their new responsibilities in a short period of time. Age does not seem to be a factor. There is a Great Pyrenees in
Texas at the present time who during the week is a LGD and on weekends a show dog. He is equally comfortable in either
place. Their calm disposition seems to be a settling factor for their fearful charges.
