The Great Pyrenees are called gentle giants for a good reason; the females tend to weigh between 85-100 lbs. with a
height of 25"-29", while most males weigh in around 100-125 lbs. and stand tall at 27"-29". They have a very graceful and
majestic presence, but their size is intimidating to prowlers and predators. Both agile and graceful, Pyrs have a look of
confidence and intelligence about them. This breed possesses an amazingly weather-resistant and self-cleaning coat which
protects them from the elements while cutting down on laborious grooming.

The Pyr is a wonderful guard dog that will
protect anything it is raised with instinctively
and without rigorous training. While on duty,
the Pyr's first line of defense is perimeter
scent-marking, and constant perimeter
walking. The next technique employed by the
Pyr is a very low, rumbling bark, proclaiming
its presence. The bark of a Pyr is unique in that
it is not annoying or distracting, in fact, some
owners find it to be a very comforting sound.
If and when perimeter walking/marking and
barking have failed and an intruder invades
the dogs territory they will tend to chase
first, then act aggressive only if they feel
their stock/family is in danger.
