Great Pyrenees Dogs Anyone have one?

There is a guy about 18 miles away who rescues labs. He has my name on his waiting list.

What a great picture! It really makes me miss our Pyr. She used to love for me to wool her around and flip her over on her back. How big is this one?

[LUBEDUDE]

Yeah, that pic touches my heart as well. Reminds me of the GP we used to have, with our kids.

An Atoilyn(spl)Shepard is another good guard dog for farm animals,people friendly but a vicious monster when something bothers his herd.My neighbor had one for his cows but when he sold the cows the dog went elsewhere to stay where there were farm animals.people would call for him to come get the dog but he would not stay put at his home.He took the collar and name tag off so the new owners would not know who to call but I would see the dog around people with goats,cows and sheep.

Could the breed be the "Anatolian Shepherd"?

They are indeed an excellent live-stock GUARDING dog ( not a "herding" dog, such as the Border Collie and similar breeds).

We owned Anatolians for almost thirty years, and they can withstand extremely harsh climates as well as dealing with ANY predators.

Just Google the breed name to see some photos. They are VERY large as you will see.

And just because they are fuzzy.

The family doctor had a huge white dog that he keep in a cage behind his office while at work. It was a bit bigger than the dogs shown here and the head looked a bit different. It was bigger than Norwegian Wolf hounds I've seen up close. Could have been a cross breed. Anyway that ol boy looked as big as a bear.
I think the dog may have died. Last time I saw the cage it looked like it hadn't been used for a long time.
