The Pyrenean Mountain dog aka Great Pyrenees is one of the world's most powerful, large flock guardian who originates from the Pyrenean Mountains in France. He blends seamlessly into his white flock, a surprise for any bear or wolf trying to snatch an easy meal. The puppies are huge and a giant breed, so careful raising is needed to protect their bones and joints, but also to SOCIALISE them as an unsocialised Pyrenean Mountain dog quickly becomes aloof and aggressive. Today Anneka meets top breeder Sandie of Kricarno in the UK and a beautiful litter of baby Great Pyrenees.

My pyr is 13! She's perfectly healthy except that she inherited the same spinal degenerative disease that your previous dog had (rip). We're helping her walk with a harness and enriching her last year as much as we can. I love her so much.
Oh no! I’m so sorry
Had the same thing with my male great Pyrenees. We would use a beach towel to hold him up to go to the bathroom, that towel helped tremendously but I am sure what you have is even better. It’s just so hard when they have something like that going on yet completely fine and acting normal with their minds, you know? Mine started with It when he was 12. I feel terrible that you are going through this, they are such giant loverbugs, I will pray for your baby girl that her pain is very low to nonexistent and just know we are thinking about you and sending a huge hug.
@@mommashawna707 yes exactly! The mind is all there, she doesn't even look old yet! It's very hard. Thanks for the kind words and advice
@@dominicfaucher4956 is she in much pain? I ask because mine really wasn’t in pain he just lost the use of his back legs, I mean he could walk some but he would fall quite often. My Chance, ended up having a heart attack and passing away. His Pomeranian or should I say her great Pyrenees because she ruled the roost all 9 pounds of her and he was 113 pounds. She would just lay where he passed away & this went on for a couple months, I’ve never had another dog morn so hard for another dog but he raised her from a puppy on and he was so good at it I mean so so good at it. They say Pomeranians are a little big dogs and that’s exactly what she was. She was my first ever small dog in my entire family so it was a new thing for all of us but she would hang on his neck hair and he would just walk around with a little tiny Pomeranian hanging from him that’s just when she was a puppy though. They loved each other so much.
„Perfectly healthy! Except this little thing, that is an inherited degenerative disease!“ I’m sorry, what? That is the absolute opposite of perfectly healthy…
I'm a proud mama to 2 of these fluffer nutters. They are the absolutely sweetest house dogs and are affectionate to their favorite humans. They are clean and easy to housebreak but are also notorious for being difficult to train and really only respond well to positive reinforcement. Despite their chunky bodies, they are excellent jumpers and can scale a high fence to go on walkabout if they get bored.. For this reason so many are sent off to rescue organizations or shelters. Please please please if you have the patience and consistency to offer one of these intelligent dogs a home, start with your local rescue organization first. So many need homes.
Me and my wife actually adopted a 3 year old female Pyrenees who was found starved half-dead out in the desert. I have raised Great Danes and Mastiffs but the Pyr is a very unique and wonderful dog. They are stubborn, but for confident and experienced dog owner they are so rewarding!
I have a 50% great pyr and had no idea until dna. Everyone thought a lab shepherd mix! She's amazing and sweet and so good with other animals, especially soft with little ones. I'm watching all I can to help find ways to keep her happy and meet her needs. She is an amazing jumper! Her other 50%is Rottweiler so I'm learning there too. She's just the best girl everyone loves her.
Last October i had to do the last act of kindness for my great Pyrenees. Im so lucky to have 11 wonderful years with him. He was the best guardian i ever had. He was once in a lifetime dog. I would just sit for hours & watch him. Every time he was outside. He was always on guard. So many times he would take off running after a coyote or a fox. He was the best.
I'm so sorry. I dread that day. My GP is only 3 right now, so I hope I have many more years with him. Mine also has a thing for coyotes...hate. They stay far away from him. He's 140lbs compared to their 30lbs or so. I live in central Az so they are around, just not around my house. They are a wonderful breed.
Ugh ugh ugh. So hard and never gets easier. It's been 7 years now since I had to do that with my working line Giant Schnauzer, Motomo. Still haven't gotten another dog since and didn't even want to consider it. That is until recently in the past 1.5 years I've been thinking about it. I miss all the comes with owning a dog , very much. As much as I love the Giant Schnauzer, I won't be getting another. It will be impossible for him or her to fill his paws. So, a different breed this time. I got him from a planned breeding, waited a little over a year for him. I believe this go round, when I finally do, will first try and rescue .
@@dtcdtc8328 I switched breeds also. Before my Great Pyrenees, all I had owned were American Akitas. After I had to put Khan down, I didn't have a dog for over 15 yrs. I still cry about him all the time. He is seen in my avatar photo.
I’ve owned 2 !! Had a female live to be 14. My male is a HUGE baby who is around 5. Glad to see videos on these. Just know they do bark a lot when getting one. That’s their deterrent. Wonderful breed !!
Yes I heard them! 😄
@@Animal-Watch 😊
Arguably not only the premier flock guardian breed but the most beautiful as well.
I’ll never live without a Great Pyrenees. My cousin had a male, I fell in love with the breed and have a precious girl of my own.
They are beautiful and very protective! Our next door neighbors have mean dogs that are aggressive to us. One day someone else's Pyrenees, we didn't know, came to visit. I was trying to figure out where he cae from but of course was petting him. He needed water because he was so hot. This dog was so loving and even protected me even though he didn't know me. He protected me against mean dogs! I'd love a Pyrenees ❤❤❤
I've had a few over the years and absolutely love the breed. Pyrenees are probably not for the first time dog owner, but if you've had success raising a dog before then you totally should consider one. I don't think they are hard to train and socialize, but neither are they easy.
Just a bit noisy otherwise I’d have one. Wolfdogs are so quiet and peaceful 😇
I can say the same in my fetishes if not in my fetish the Bull terrier, because to say you should absolutely consider one is considered that the others are only worth a flick, for an amateur of the race it is hypocritical for the other breeds, so either you are an amateur, or not
Our Great Pyr puppy girl was an absolute joy as a puppy.
so much power and cuteness at the same time❤
Is anyone old enough to remember - Belle & Sebastian which was a 1965 French TV children's serial featuring the adventures of a six-year-old orphan boy and his friend Belle, a Pyrenean Mountain dog, who lived in the French Alps with the villagers.
I came across one guarding his flock whilst trekking in the Tatras; their effectivity cannot be overstated. I grabbed a quick pic (a stunning forest setting) & calmly chose an alternate route. Thanks Anneka for bringing us such great content
Our Great Pyr girl was THE most adorable puppy! She was a complete joy to have and now, she is almost 3. She is a good girl most of the time.
My male pyr is 6 yrs old, gentle as a lamb with us, but a great guard dog, very protective of us, by the way he weighs 146 pounds and we exercise him every day. great dog!
Thank you THANK YOU for sharing the cutest breed on earth‘s puppies! My female was absolutely stunning because she was pure white with no markings. ( she was a tall girl too, 32 inches at the shoulder, The same height as my mom‘s Newfoundland years ago. Our male was just a lot more muscular and weighed more than her) You just can’t help falling in love with them. I lost my mom a couple months ago and my daughter moved across the country a week later so I have been going through it and seeing some beloved great Pyrenees just does my heart good. I am so sorry to hear about the divorce, they can be really rough but at least we have our dogs to lean on because they will love us unconditionally till the day we die. I have been hearing just recently about three different great Pyrenees two of which bit children which I still am in awe over. You know mine are not working dogs so I know there is a difference but mine were so good with my kids when they were younger, they were just incredible and had I not heard about these kids getting bit I would highly recommend a great Pyrenees for smaller kids just because they are so durable. We also just had a working Great Pyrenees in the US that was protecting his flock and 11 coyotes came in as a pack he ended up killing eight of them but the farmer had to go find him afraid he would be dead and he was almost there but he ended up getting him to the animal hospital and living through it. He was marked as a hero among the other farmers and they all ended up donating for his medical care because it was over $20,000. Anyways as always your videos put a smile on my face but this certain one truly touched my heart.
If they bit children it was probably a nip. Of course that can do damage. But it’s not the same as an attack which could kill a small child. They will nip though if pushed.
My Pyrenees is so lovable and a great protector for me. He is a house dog who wont stay outside if I am not their. I highly highly recommend ! :)
They are truly amazing
@@Animal-Watch Yes. :)
No better giant to love than a Great Pyrenees ❣️If you start out right you will have a friend for ever!
I live in west Texas and several country homes around here have a Pyrenees on the property. I’ve literally never met a mean one. They watch out for coyotes but usually just give a warning bark to people while they wag their tales.
I rescued a 3-month old Pyr who is close to 3-years old now. Serena is quite small for her breed - around seventy pounds. However I had a DNA test done and she is 100% Pyrenees. Although relatively small, she is extremely powerful and can bend the links of a chain link fence with her jaws. She is plenty big enough for a household pet/guardian dog in my semi rural area. She is an excellent guardian dog for my acre of Southern California property and she really loves kids. She knows who is allowed on my property and will warn strangers off. She loves my gardener and my pool guy. The gardener brings his three daughters (2 years to 9 years) to play with my Pyr. She absolutely loves the kids and will romp with the older girl but, is very gentle with the youngest. Not a breed for everyone but, I absolutely love this beautiful girl.Bonus is that I no longer have coyotes sniffing around my fence line looking to make a meal of my small rescue dogs. She will accept a new rescue dog into the family with no problems. I took her to snake avoidance school and she will not get near a snake but, will stand off and bark warning us that there is a snake nearby. That way, I can dispatch the dangerous snakes and relocate the good snakes. So far, I have dispatched three rattle snakes and relocated several gopher and California king snakes. She is exceptionally fast but, will not jump on people. Her way of getting attention is to back up to you - so she can get her back scratched. At first, my wife was not keen on the Pyr but, she has won the affection of my wife with her calm and serene personality.
My female Pyr Ziggy is 1.5 years old and is very small for a Great Pyrenees although purebred as well… What do you think it is because of? Runt/smaller parents/something else? I really wish I knew why! haha anyways hope you have lots of great fun with Serena! Be sure to let her know my girl Ziggy says hello!!
I don't know why Serena is so small. OTOH she is a great dog and is perfect for an indoor-outdoor pet. She says thanks for the hello - hello back!@@Paulie_Walnuts89
What a splendid encounter! This is wonderful to see ❤
Love that you collaborate with Better Help. So important
I have a pyr/caucasian shepherd mix rescue as my first dog, def struggling with recall, but all the rest of his obedience training is actually pretty smooth! We have recently passed the bar exam for his AKC CGC title!
Unbelievably beautiful. Magnificent thank you
Beautiful dogs Anneka,thanks for sharing another amazing video😃🙌🏻🌹🌼🌹🐾🐾🐾
You are welcome 🙏
Beautiful cover photo, clever dog blending with the sheep
Thanks. That was really good. Some people here are keeping them as pets and it do always work out. I know two where I walk my dogs. They are very calm and friendly and very intelligent. Many don’t realise how dumb downed most domestic dogs kept as pets are. These mastiffs are smart. Thankfully they are smart enough to know what presents a threat and what doesn’t. Because they are a fearless animal and they can use their own initiative.
I was walking my Springer when a Pyrenean decided he wanted to mate with her, hadn't realised she'd come in season, I took hold of the dog's collar, and he climbed up me, by the time the owner reached us I was face to face with this bear of a dog. Luckily, it wasn't aggressive, and I think the owner was ore frightened of the situation than I was. Beautiful dogs.
I love mine. She is amazing beautiful, sweet, and a great watch dog. Mine has a bit of Anatolian shepherd, a good combination. Our big girl is so gentle.
All just Gorgeous !!❤
I absolutely love both of mine. No other dog like them.
WOW!! Beautiful cover photo, clever dog blending with the sheep
Wonderful video thank you ❤️
Omg, cuties!!! I have always wanted to have one of the Pyrenees. I wish one day you'd come to Bali, Indonesia to learn and educate people about the Kintamani dog that looks like a small version of wolfdog.
Adorable looking Pyrenean mountain dogs
The animations had me rolling 😂 LOVE love your videos! Keep up the great work :)
Thanks to my excellent editor Ellen. Many thanks xx
Really good series.
The puppies are cute, Adorable and precious fur babies. 🤗🤗🐶🐶
Beautiful dogs.
Adorable dog
Wonderful video! I have Great Pyrenees, as we call them here in the States, and socialization is so important! I've seen unsocialized Pyrs, and it is really sad. People think they need to be unsocialized to be good working LGDs, and its not true! My Pyrs are friendly to people my husband and I bring around, but are still terrific guard dogs that do fantastic guarding our poultry. Like Sandie said, you don't want an aggressive adult Pyrenees! They are so large and powerful, if they're uncontrollable, it really can be dangerous. They are so amazing, my favorite breed!
Beautiful
The main problem with Pyrenees is if you take them any where people are, you will spend your whole day letting everyone meet them, especially when their puppies. Miss you Sir Edmund Everest, " Eviee"
fantastic!
Easy KZhead video... it arrived few times in my life to cross Patou, in the wild, and even I speak dog, II was like oooops, how we say in France, but your video is very kind an clear ! Merci..
I'm on my first GP after having nothing but American Akitas over the last 35 yrs. Kumo is now 2 and a half yrs old and is a wonderful dog. He not an Akita but still an amazing dog. My Akita, Kahn, passed several years ago and I hadn't gotten another dog. My sons decided it had been long enough and found a working sheep farm in Illinois about an hour from us. They took me to pick a pup and Kumo was the only one that came to me and sat in front of me and stared at me. Made my choice easy ! We picked him up 3 weeks later. We're in Az now and he doesn't seem to mind the heat. He's an inside dog except for walks and going out. He barks if a fly farts 3 blocks down but I'm getting used to it. He can be seen in my avatar photo.
Hi, thanks for your story. How was the Akita?. We thought of getting a baby Akita but we are not sure if he/she will get along with the two cats we have who are very friendly...... So, it's between the Akita or the GP....or maybe a lab....We are still trying to decide......I live in a private community close to wilderness but I do have neighbors to the left and right.....and dont want to have barking issues........
A GP WILL bark quite a bit. Sometimes it's to ward off a predator or intruder and sometimes to let other dogs know they're there. I have 3 cats and he doesn't mess with them. As for American Akitas, both of mine were tight with my cats. The one in my avatar pic, Khan, would let our Siamese eat from his bowl. Simon would walk up to Khan while he was eating, tap Khan on the nose, and proceed to eat what he wanted while Khan sat back and watched. Akitas will bark ONLY when needed. If they bark, you should go look. If you have an intruder, an Akita will stalk them like a cat. Labs are great dogs, but most are too friendly to have as a guard dog or protect against predators. I'd go for an American Akita. Choose a good breeder though. Backyard breeders are cheaper but they don't usually breed for good traits. Also, be sure to take the pup everywhere you go to socialize them. We put in hundreds of hours into Khan and Kuma both. We could take them anywhere without them going off on other dogs or chasing another pet or animal. My wife was then a GM of a large animal shelter. Khan would go with even into the cattery. Some of the cats took a while to get used to him...lol. He could walk into the dog area with all of the dogs barking and do the Akita grumble and they'd all go silent. Very cool to see. Anyway, I wish you well on whatever dog you choose. I have to add this...my Pyr still goes off on neighbors that frequently visit in our home. He's known them for 2 yrs ! I've had solicitors run from the door after knocking...not a bad thing though. NEVER let ANYONE run up and hug or try to pet them. They are super protective of their family.
This is wonderful video mam👍👍👏👏👏❤️😍
We currently have 3 of these wonderful pups. :)
I've never been more envious of another persons job. I don't know how you don't explode with excess warm fuzzies.
OMG I envy you for your job!
I LOVE MY JOB! Thankyou x
Nice puppies....the little dogs are cute too!
Soo Cute pups
My absolute fave !!! Sorry to make it about me. They are so gorgeous and amazing... But so is your wolf. My second fave is German Shepherds especially blue ones.
we love these dogs we have 3 of thlem and they get alone with all the small dogs at the house, my peekpoo and my brother longharied dachshunds
They have exceptional character
Pyrenees are the most protective dogs ever and love little critters. Mine used to bring my neighbors kittens home.
Ok so who remembers Belle and Sebastian (not the band, the TV series, although the former is obviously called after the latter)? Away back then I pestered the life out my mum and dad to get us a Pyrenean Mountain Dog and they eventually got a light-coloured Golden Retriever. I wasn't fooled but we had Golden Retrievers for the next 30 years or so, all because of that. Belle was played by a dog called Flanker, btw, which is quite possibly the most appropriate name for a sheepdog ever.
Adopted 4 young-adult Pyrs from various people who had adopted got them as adorable puppies and then returned them when !! surprise/duhh !! "they grew SO large, barked all the time and were uncontrollable". We all lived together in the high mountains on a large acreage ... cherished them until they died of old age: 11,12, 13 ... BEST years of my life. YES, They can bark effortlessly for hours and WILL drool like crazy ... like CRAZY. They're really smart, can be really stubborn and like to run (when THEY feel like it), sometimes for miles on their own ... and can be very destructive both inside and outside of the house, esp. if their drive to work at something is frustrated. BUT They will definitely earn your deep love and respect and laughter will abound. Honor them by not getting one if you don't have the space (like several acres, at a minimum) and determined patience/dedication for their entire lives ... and oh ya, they can be crazy expensive to properly care for.
My Great Pyrenees Murphy is 156 pounds!!! ❤
Love the puppies! Can you do a video on the mixed breed, Pomsky?
Do they tell you about how they dig wallows to stay cool on hot days. Mine dug a basement to his dog house.
I looovvvveee my fluffy girl. She loves her goats and chickens.
pretty dog
Can they do well with goldenvretrievers?
If somebody wants a similar but smaller dog, the Maremma would be a good choice.
Really nice french Spanish dogs . Regarding the puppies I heard a Cane Corso breeder, most likely it's the same for the mayority of big breeds, saying that you must be very careful with puppies that they are very delicate in a way and you should avoid stairs, jumping, long walking, sleepery surfaces, hard surfaces,...and that most of the structural issues like dysplasia have their origins in this first year of live. I love this breed so i watch loads of videos on the web, most of them from the USA, and you very soon understand why they have so many structural problems. On top of the back yard breeding pandemic affecting the country.
That is so true 👍
I have another pup coming in a month. I also have anatolian Shepard/ pyrenes cross
The last time you had great Pyrenees on we talked about them killing wolves also but you have to remember how humongous they look with that long huge mane around their necks because when a dog gets territorial their hair stands up on end and they look just huge. They usually scare them off is what I’m trying to say. Also I think this lady gives very good advice but I do believe she’s talking more of working dogs because mine were not aloof whatsoever, stubborn yes but mine wanted to be loved 24 seven I mean my female wanted to be touching you at all times lol
Please can you do a video on Gordon setters
Is the pyrenean mountain dog and Great Pyrenees are the same?
They're beautiful . I remember Jacko from your last video. Is he still alive???
Lmfao the trainer was telling the interviewer to not be so damn loud and it went completely over her head Shhhhhh!!!!!!!
Ive had my pyranees for 8 years from a pup, hes a gentle giant but out and about he dosnt like other male dogs Ive heard it said that you can raise them as a family pet, or raise them living with the flocks as protectors but they cant be both, it has to be one or the other, anyone have info on this?
That's where the Dogo Argentino got it's colour from. Very friendly also, the ones I met.
Our Great Pyr’s father weighs 154. At almost 3, our Great Pyr girl never exceeded 100 lbs. The girls are a lot smaller. She started growling when you had the dog barking sounds.
We have a 4yr old Pyr from a highly reputable breeder, who shared these tips. We immediately bought a larger fence, a ramp for getting into the back of the SUV, and he stays downstairs.
Of the dog breeds you are yet to cover, I suggest the English bulldog, that would make for a fun video with these fun-loving tanks!
❤❤❤
😒❤I have a dog demon. I love him!
i actually know this breed because of casper😊❤
He is a real-life hero, and so is his partner.
Do an episode on the Bouvier
My boy is a Pyr/Leonberger. He is the most snuggly dog I've ever had,.
I'm still struggling on what dog I should buy. They all got advantages and disadvantages 😰😰
My Hoss is 9 years old n my Best Friend.
I have a pyrenees/hound mix and he is the best boy. About 110 pds, not as big as these guys
My pryranees is 160lbs
We have two of them. :)
What is her website? I didn't see it in the description.😊
Pyrenean dog are 2. Pyrenean mastiff and the other Great Pyreness
I still missing one of the greatest and sweetest dogs on earth, the Dog The Bordeaux ?
A few years ago I talked with a cheap breeder on the south of France. He explained me the Patou as they call these great Pyrenees dogs live with the cheap pack without contact with humain. Even the Patou think he / she a cheap. It's not only efficient against the wild animals but also against " Les renards à 2 pâtes" it means the fox with 2 legs. These words means a humain being who stole cheaps, chicken and so on.
I am get a boxer or Doberman or mutt or Rottweiler or great pyeerns
Dogs that have poor recall just blow my mind. I can't get rid of my weimaraners even if I tried to lose them!
Tosa inu episodes please🙏🏽
Is this the same breed as a tatra?
when will you film akbash dogs?
❤👍🏻
Hello thanks for nice video Super Very beautiful 🌷🌷💚💚💞💞💞💞😂😂👏👏👏
🙏😕
Literal sheepdogs - look at those giant fluffballs!!
My 3yr old Female Pyr Named Sugar is the best dog ive ever had.
How high of a field fence would be recommended for G.P.'s ?
I’d say 7ft if you want to be really safe… if you don’t want to make a fence that high you could always try to line the inside of your fence with something like coyote rollers (metal tubes you attach horizontally to a fence) so when the dog or coyote tries to jump the fence, the paws hit the roller and they just slide back down to the ground. Google “coyote rollers” if you can, they’re hard to explain…
6 ft
Only thing that worked for me is the invisible fence, I had a 6ft fence and my pyr would dig under it and jump over it! Now she knows her boundaries and is happily barking and guarding all day inside the perimeter!
hows your sib husky and his pulling while walking? any success with that?
I have two and they’re nuts!!! Have to run their energy off!
@@Animal-Watch that drive for pulling and small prey is strong. i have a black dilute female that seems to be the racing body style but is pure. .love to see a video on your siberian huskies and how they look today ..thanks for your videos.
Take care you 👍🇦🇺🥃
