Great Pyrenees Dog Breeders Help Buyers Make an Informed Decision
Dog breeding has become an ever popular hobby and to some a full-time career. Most breeders seem to fall in love with specific breeds of dogs and therefore tend to own them as well as breed them to sell to perspective pet owners. For instance, Great Pyrenees dog breeders love the Pyrenees breed for many reasons. The Great Pyrenees is a beautiful dog, gentle around children, and is a very devoted and loyal pet. They usually are calm and well-mannered unless they are provoked. They make great pets in homes with other animals and do especially well when they are raised with children from Puppy-hood.
The Pyrenees is also known as the Pyrenean Mountain Dog. As a full grown dog, they are a very large animal with solid and strong bone and muscular structure. The color of the Pyrenees coat varies from solid white, white with tan patches, gray or pale yellow. It is said that the Great Pyrenees looks a lot like a Brown Bear with the exception of the light color of his coat. Great Pyrenees Dog Breeders will tell prospective owners that this breed will grow to be about 100 lbs. for males and 85 lbs. for females. Height will range from 27-32 inches for males and 25-29 inches for females. This breed has been known for guarding livestock. If they are not actively used for guarding livestock, they will require daily exercise to stay in optimum health.
Grooming for the Great Pyrenees is relatively easy. They usually shed once a year, and the rest of the year they just need to be bathed and brushed as needed. Their dense undercoat does need brushing especially when shedding. Great Pyrenees Dog Breeders will tell you that they do prefer cooler climates, and can develop skin irritations in hotter, more humid climates. The only real health problem that they are prone to is hip dysplasia. This is a common ailment for dogs in general.
The Great Pyrenees Dog Breeders will also tell you that this is not a dog for apartment living. If you are thinking of owning this dog, this must be taken into consideration to be fair to the dog. They would do well in a house that has a large yard so that they can get out and exercise. Again, as you can see the Great Pyrenees adapt well to family life and would make a great pet if the living conditions were appropriate for him. No matter what kind of dog you are thinking of purchasing, you should find out if you and the dog are a match by talking with the dog breeder.
