The Great Pyrenees has also been called the Pyrenean Mountain Dog and Chien de Montagne des Pyrenees. The Great Pyrenees excels at protecting livestock, especially sheep that are grazing or hanging out in the pasture. It tends to sit around in a comfortable spot and then jump and let out a steady succession of loud, deep, bellowing barks to alert the shepherd to the threat. The dog will then dart to the threatened area and defend its livestock and territorial hegemony. Hesitant to attack and quick to intimidate, this dog is a safe bet when protecting your livestock. Intruders will probably not be maimed or assaulted by this dog although you'll want to talk to see if the breeder know if the dog's parents and relatives are known as biters or just guards in particular. The Great Pyrenees is a solid white, slightly puffy and fluffy breed that's guaranteed to spark a smile in first-time observers. The Great Pyrenees is a dog that goes back thousands of years to the stark, mountainous regions of France and Spain. The Basque shepherds to guard their flocks from wild predators and connivers and thieves used them for centuries. They were used by the French Royal Court and allied and axis powers during World War II. These beautiful dogs carried and hauled artillery and supplies over rough mountain paths. They're suited to the mountains. Hot, humid, or arid weather produces skin allergies in this topically vulnerable dog. Great Pyrenees is easily distinguished by their myriad physical traits such as its amazing resemblance to a bear. That's right. It looks just like a brown bear. One will often be puzzled at the first glance until they realize what it reminds them of. Their coat is not always white. Their thick, weather-resistant, water-repellent coat can come in gray, fawn, or yellow. They're 27 to 32 inches at the withers in males, and they're 25 to 29 inches at the withers for females. Some can reach 40 inches. The tallest dog ever is 42 inches, and so Great Pyrenees is huge! They can weigh up to 100 pounds, the males that is. Females are lightweights at 85 pounds or more. The Great Pyrenees is courageous, cautious, and devoted. It's reserved around visitors, whether they're human or animal visitors. It's wary of new things because it's a guard dog by nature. They're very difficult to train, but they really just need minor behavioral adjustments. Luckily, they're feline-friendly so that's a lot of fun. Since they're guardians of the flock, and also quite large, they need plenty of exercise, and indoor life is just not an option. They need human attention and the comforts of the home, but a lack of exercise will stimy them considerably. Great Pyrenees intimidates people with their stature and loud bark.
