Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit comments - comment history - watch comments ยท refresh this page) The Pyr was not intended to be left alone. It does best when socialized with either a flock or its family. Our Pyr lived eleven years plus, and was probably the best family dog one could have. Ours was a sweetheart, with great presence. A Pyr only slobbers when highly agitated, and can easily stay with any dog over any distance, at least when young. A couple of other things. Pyrs are not tail-wagers, and will rarely wag their tails in greeting. Rather, they will wag their tails when frustrated. Also, Pyrs are not lickers, in general. I would recommend a Pyreness to any family, provided the dog's master is brighter than the dog. As an added bonus, you need not lock your doors if you have a Pyrenees. The dog will deny entry to anyone other than his people, and the Pyr gives a very serious threat display to any man or beast.Gedcruise 01:01, 3 March 2007 (UTC) |

You're an idiot. My Great Pyrenees is the best dog I've ever had. 71.19.6.20 16:34, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Maybe if you payed a bit of attention to what your pyrenees is doing it wouldn't get sprayed. They are not bred to run, they are bred to guard livestock. They conserve energy to fight off bears, wolve, and other predators. Pyrs are very smart and are WONDERFUL dogs! They are wonderful with children and are very loving and gentle. You should have done a bit of research before getting a dog breed that is more intelligent than you!
Great Pyrenees, as with other dogs, will do exactly what they are bred and trained for. Pyrenean Mountain Dogs were bred to guard the livelyhood and families of the mountain shepards. This did not require a lot of running. However it did require intelligence and a certain amount of independence. Such as recognizing threats and taking whatever action was necessary to neutralize the threat, whether by force or by intercession. I have found my Pyr will most often just get between the protectees (goats usually, sometimes grandkids) and whatever is percieved to be a possible threat. No threats or growling or even confrontation, just gets between them and lies down, situation neutralized. Most intelligent dog I have ever owned(11).
