Description
Dog Breed: Great Pyrenees (long coat). Although he is a lovely livestock guardian breed, we’re not seeing too much propensity for guarding from this boy, who wants to be with humans. I’m sure that, given time to destress and be outside in a normal setting, he would be totally different, but for now,w it’s nice to see that he is relaxed and relies on humans for attention. He came to us with another dog when they were strays in the same area of the county. He has had no issues getting along with others, but we have not tried him with cats, other small animals, or livestock. He is headed for a quick vet exam on Tuesday. Branch received his Rabies shot today and went to the vet,t who assured us he is still young. Around a year old and wanting to ride and get belly rubs. Branch was told he was a Jewel of a dog and would make someone a great addition to the family PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA.

Breed overview
Great Pyrenees
A.K.A.: Pyrenean Mountain Dog, Patou, Chien de Montagne des Pyrénées, Pyrenean, Big White Dog, Bear Dog, Gentle Giant, Great Pyr, Pyr
Overview:
The Great Pyrenees is a majestic and ancient breed, originating in the Pyrenean mountains between France and Spain, where they served as formidable livestock guardians. Physically, they are large, powerful dogs, easily recognized by their thick, double coat, typically white (though sometimes marked with badger, grey, or tan), and a distinctive "double dewclaw" on their hind legs. Despite their imposing size, their temperament is generally calm, gentle, and remarkably patient, making them excellent companions. They possess a natural protectiveness, which translates to a watchful eye over their families and property. While loving and tolerant with children, their size and barking tendencies make them less suited for small apartment living; a home with a yard is ideal. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, patellar luxation, and certain eye conditions, emphasizing the importance of responsible breeding. Their independent nature also means they require consistent, positive reinforcement training.
