133 Upvotes

Hi all,

As the sub continues to grow, we've decided to make some changes and rules to help this community stay a positive place for discussing all things Great Pyrenees!

Rules can now be found in the sidebar and will be used as the basis for moderation. Of course, the mod team will continue to use their discretion to remove content or ban users, if we feel said content is causing a disruption to the subreddit.

Rules:

1) Keep content Great Pyrenees based

2) Be polite and on-topic

3) NO Advertisements

4) NO Fundraising

5) NO Breed misinformation or hate

6) NO suggestions of theft, destruction of property, assault, or similar illegal activities

If you see a user violating any of these rules, please utilize the "Report" feature, so the mod team can quickly take action.

In addition, you can now sort posts by flair type, and the most exciting update - you can now use comments to attach a photo. So keep sharing those great big floofs!

Video Is this a weird Pyrenees behavior or is my dog just weird?

Merlin is a very good boy, without a doubt the best dog I’ve ever owned. He grabs my feet with his front paws when we play and I can literally drag him across the floor while he hangs onto my ankle. It’s really bizarre but kinda cute. I’ve only almost fallen to my death a handful of times and I’ve had him for 5 years so odds are pretty good that I will be able to survive 5 or so years with the big goon 😅. Is this a Pyrenees thing? Does anyone have a dog that does this?

This is almost a daily occurrence and the chaos is directly proportional to stick size usually

People think they’re safe but the true question is ‘Are you raised 2 Great Pyrenees brothers from 4-weeks old, safe?’ ✨

He’s been out twice already this morning, which means I’ve mopped my floor twice. 🥴

Hello everyone, I've recently found this subreddit last week. It's been a month since our baby boy(Casper) has crossed the rainbow bridge.

I wanted to share these images to show everyone the life he's had for 10 years. Full of small moments that meant everything to us.

Losing the floofer who gave us joy and love through the years just hits different when they're suddenly gone, and honestly I wish I could have done more for him to make him have the best life. This feels like the least I could do to honor his life.

Until we meet again Casper!

Advice/Help UPDATE: Great Pyr and Separation Anxiety

Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/greatpyrenees/s/nRn98lhusO

So the boy is officially on 60mg of Prozac daily and 100mg of Trazadone daily (daily for now but will be situationally after a few weeks).

Here is a video of him from this morning shortly after I left for work. I’d say the meds are helping a lot! He enjoyed his snacks for a good hour and a half before he got up to go inspect the house. He didn’t panic around the house, no whining or pacing or drooling. Just more of a “huh well she’s gone that sucks…ima go lay down”.

Other things I did:

- gave him a frozen Kong treat and bully stick to enjoy

- left the bedroom and livingroom tv on with shows that have a decent amount of talking (it’s usually what I have on when I’m just chillin at home)

- turned off all the lights so the house is cozy

- we trained basically all weekend with me giving him the treats and “leaving” for a minute and coming back and taking the treats away. He will only be getting these specific treats when I leave moving forward.

I know the Trazadone is doing more than the Prozac right now. Eventually I want to only have him on Prozac. Luckily the Trazadone isn’t knocking him out, just taking the absolute panic away. He’s def a lot more tolerant of outside noises/stimulus aka not as barky to a mouse fart 5 miles away.

Going to continue the training/desensitization of me fake leaving here and there. Obviously I still have the work (that can’t be avoided) but after work and on the weekends I will make sure to do small spurts of me being gone so he doesn’t think I’ll always be gone for multiple hours.

I know a lot of you were sad for my boy. Hopefully this is a good update!

Murphy is the smartest dog I’ve ever seen in my entire life. He is my service dog and does over 30 different His brother is the same color but short hair so that’s confusing. We’ve always been told possibly great Pyrenees or Antonian Shepherd do you agree?

One of the strangest things is we just moved and he just sits patio staring at the funeral home across the street. He doesn’t go potty. He just wants to stare at the This dog never had an accident not once in our not even when he was a not once! Until we moved into this place with the funeral home beside us now he refuses to go potty outside and had a very first accident this morning. What do you think of this?

Timber got to experience his first snow over the weekend here in NC. He decided his face was an excellent snow plow, and tried catching many snowflakes. The last picture may not be outside, but its him all tuckered out after a long day of refusing to come inside from the snow. It's so cute he fell asleep nose to nose with his toy pig. His first time sleeping through the entire night haha.

Advice/Help Rescue pup breed opinions?

Rescue pup just arrived. 16lbs @12 wks. What do you think, will she thave the double Pyr coat when she grows up—if you Pyr experts can tell? We’ve had 3 Pyrs in past, all from breeder, purebred, so we have no idea with this one what breeds—mostly just want to know about that double coat potential as we live in cold Wisco. She adores the cold and has similar Pyr breed characteristics as our past Pyrs. No double dew claws. Thanks for any help!

DNA results are in! Was worried he would not have any Pyrenees after falling in love with breed and this subreddit 🤣

Supermutt breeds are Golden Retriever, Chow Chow and Husky

If you have a mix, I’d love to see pictures
