Great Pyrenees - New Addition To My Family

BS, That last pic you posted is a hoot!

I get my German Shepard shaved in the spring. Keeps her nice and cool and saves on that mess. Plus if I don['t shave her the pool basket fills with loads of hair (they swim in the pool a lot chasing balls).

Ha! A testimony to how smart he is: This morning, I was playing fetch with him. He's figured out that if he's got the ball in his mouth, I have no leverage. As long as he holds the ball in his mouth, he can go where he wants.

Dammit! Hrmph...

:lol:


Supposedly, in the spring, they begin to shed their undercoat so profusely, that some people collect it and spin it into yarn. Yes, seriously.

Egad...

Actually, lest you think I'm making it up, here's an example from another Pyrenees named Bear:

Sasquatch .. woulda been perfect! :laughing:

I love him!

Thanks!! I just came in from taking him for a long walk. He's doing better on the leash, and he sits on command. I tried playing fetch with him, but true to the stubborn, independent nature of the breed, he sometimes brings the ball back, or not, or in his own time. LOL

The day after we brought him home, I was thinking, "Oh God... What have I got myself into?" :11: But I'm already in love with him. Big fluffy dog... Crazy how quickly he's left big muddy paw-prints on my heart.

We saw this guy on our ride in Monterey

Wow!!! Look at that big ol' brute!! I guess he's a Newfoundland? He's gorgeous!

Bear and his littermates. He's the one standing up. (On the left)

I'll take the one on the far left that is sitting down.
