The Great Pyrenees is a large, majestic breed of dog known for its striking white coat and calm, gentle temperament. Originally from the Pyrenees Mountains in Europe, these dogs were traditionally used as livestock guardians, helping to protect sheep and other animals from predators. They are intelligent, devoted, and fiercely loyal to their families, and are known for their calm and patient nature.

Great Pyrenees are generally good with children and other pets, but can be reserved with strangers. They may be slow to mature and can be stubborn at times, but with consistent, patient training and socialization, they can be well-behaved and obedient. They are generally easy to groom, with a thick, double coat that requires regular brushing to prevent matting. They are also known to shed heavily, especially during shedding season.

Great Pyrenees are generally healthy and long-lived, with a lifespan of 10-12 years. They can be prone to hip dysplasia and other joint issues, as well as certain eye conditions, so it’s important to work with a reputable breeder and keep up with regular vet check-ups. With proper care and training, the Great Pyrenees can make a loving and loyal companion for the right family.

Great Pyrenees are recognized by major kennel clubs, including the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC).
