There are times I tell her to go to her kennel when I catch her sneaking stealthily away with a no-no item. Sometimes I throw all her 10 faceless plush toys, and wheezy toys in there and she drags them out. Inside is 4 washable blankets to fix into a nest. BTW: Her kennel has no door, it’s not a cage. She has learned to go to her plush lined kennel when I leave for work we are both a little sad. She sleeps at my feet wherever I go about the house. My pup is so loyal and sweet and sleeps with me at the end of the bed. It’s just such a big paw they don’t realize. As for your leather couches, there is a a high probability for them to become maligned by sharp baby dog teeth.Īlso the pyrenees paw issue is something to accept and learn to not take personally, but to adapt to very quickly. Pyrenees fur-toddler and I am delighted with her.Īs to the couch problem, my fur-toddler has a penchant for expensive chew toys left by myself in a careless or tired moment on a shelf: one pair of Couch eyeglasses (ouch #1), two pair of driving gloves (ouch #2 and 3), one pair of keen sneakers (ouch #4), many rolls of TP and several oven mitts ( loss of these easier to absorb). Let me add…I am now sharing my life with a 6 mo. Hello, I’ve just read the responses and find them all accurate to my experience. Attachment is quick, making parting very difficult. Anyone thinking about getting a Pyr should research this. Sadly, my Molly is already 10 and having some of the health problems common to her breed and body size. Don’t forget to clean your dryers lint trap after every load, too! The second thing I wish people would know about Pyr’s is their lifespan, which is only 10-12 years according to Victoria Stilwell and. Be prepared with a good vacuum cleaner, a sturdy clothes brush, and a firm dog brush if you are going to have a Great Pyrenees.
That’s what I wish people understood about Pyr’s. The seasons change to cold or hot and Molly starts shedding. BUT!! I could collect her shedding hair, spin it into yarn, and open a sweater/knitted goods store from her fur alone!! They do shed A LOT. These are such great dogs there aren’t enough words to say how great.
She barks when I neither see nor hear anything! She has all the traits of the Pyr: loving, loyal, determined…to ‘have it her way’, and my side-kick. Phineas would rather get stepped on than move out of the way, Baxter is the oldest and claims all territory as his, but loves his siblings, Cassie is the diva and prefers my lap to any other place, except maybe her fuzzy doll blanket, Molly would rather bark than eat! She is a GORGEOUS tan and champagne color, huge, smart, marches-to-her-own-drum, and extremely vocal, just as Kelsie said. We have a Lab-Pit mix–Phineas, a Gorgeous Rat Terrier–Baxter, an adorable little long-haired Toy Jack Russell-Chihuahua–Cassie, and a Great Pyrenees-German Sheperd–Molly, as house dogs. We had to take him to the vet yesterday –he is now too big to carry, and he braced his feet like he was on waterskis! “Nope, not going in there!” Hopefully, in a few days when he starts going to the dog park, he will change his mind about SUV. The farmers never took him in vehicle except for his first shots when a ball of fluff. When he first came here, he ate all the soil from a planter, and the little tree in it! One thing we are struggling with is taking him in the vehicle–he is terrified of it and wants to stay home. We have him on Nutro for puppies with a real meat meal every day and he is growing by leaps and bounds. We got Yukon at 21 weeks from a farm–he is quite skinny–the woman said they were feeding him adult alpo–not a puppy chow. We had a pyr before, our lovley Shasta, but she didn’t like it in the house much–and so I don’t think she every had a pee incident. We are having trouble housebreaking our Yukon! He doesn’t pee a lot in the house but has had almost one accident per day since we adopted him 10 days ago.
