for being such calm doggos, if any threat came into their range, they're on it. they're the best guardians you can have.

I adopted one from a shelter that had been abused. She was scared of men and people wearing hats. She didnt have anything to do with us for the first two years until one day i caught her sleeping in a corner so i snuck up on her with some grilled chicken and gave it to her when she woke up. Ever since then she trusted me. She would just randomly seek me out to ram her head into my legs and try to knock me over. She would bark are every single noise she heard. She was getting dementia so she would jjst stare off with the saddest eyes😢 i miss that dog everyday, i pray for god to give you your neck rubs and chicken❤ i love you lady

My dad passed in december, and I adopted his pyrenees puppy who came to me at 65lbs and 6 months old. He's gonna be fucking huge. He is the quintessential pyrenees. Just a big goofy boy. PS. His name is Cayne, because he was meant to be my father's mobility support dog :)

Dude some get way bigger than the 100 pounds stated here. My male was 75 pounds at 6 months. He's 7 months now but we haven't weighed him. No GP male should ever be less than 100. 120 to 140 is a more realistic weight imo. Some get way bigger
I have two Pyrenees. If I don't feed them when they think they should be fed, one of the starts punching me and/or of the stove. That same one also turns into 100 pounds of "I don't wanna" if someone's trying to get her to do something she doesn't want to do. Just lays down and refuses to get up. lmao. They're such loyal and loving dogs.

Our Great Pyrenees has *literally* taught our pit bull the effectiveness of the Pyr paw. When we first bought him home he never once lifted a paw towards any of us. Now, after watching her for 3-4 months, the Pyr paw comes out whenever he wants cuddles. He even holds on if we haven't cuddled him long enough.

They are the most emotionally sensitive dogs I’ve ever owned or even encountered. If you betray your pyre it will never let it go. They are big on holding a grudge and it doesn’t take much to break one’s heart. They are a lot of work but very much worth it. Great companions and loyal to the end.
Hahaha can definitely relate to the stubborn one, our Great Pyrenees weighs 206 pounds and stands over 6ft tall when he stands up on his back legs. so when he doesn’t want to moved he plops down on his side because he knows we ain’t moving all that😂😂

As someone with a Great Pyrenees, I can verify this is true, especially the bark, shed, and paw things- Zeus will paw at you when he wants food, pets, anything, bark at anything (especially the TV) and whenever I brush him the yard turns to a snowstorm! He is very playful, especially with his older (yet smaller) sister- he trained her to use her paws a lot 😅

I have a Pyrenees/ Anatolian Shepard that was abused and beaten when she would go into the house as a pup. I got her at 8 months old almost 6 years ago and she too this day is terrified of slick wood or any other surface she can't get traction on. Watching her work problems out, testing various floors and build confidence over the years has been amazing. I didn't know anything about her breeds and I lost a few things like seatbelts and door trim, dry wall etc. but I learned quick 😅 Over the last couple of years my health has deteriorated due to nerve damage in my chest and arm. When it gets bad and I fall she will push my Lab mutt and my Corgi Collie aside just to be close. She will either put her paw on my arm like they do and flex or lean against me until I'm on my feet. She won't leave my side until I pat her hip twice after getting on my feet. Self taught, she's just a big sweetheart. I can say "help me up" and she'll stand vigilant and wait as long as I need.
