Breed History

The history of the Great Pyrenees breed dates back to around 3000 B.C. at the Pyrenees Mountains (where it got its name). But, according to experts, this breed has been around for as long as eleven thousand years ago (11,000) and its ancestry can be traced to Asia, where they were used by shepherds to watch over their flocks.

The status of the Great Pyrenees became elevated in the 17th century when it was adopted by Dauphin Louis XIV of France and given the position of the Royal Dog of France.

The breed got into the United States of America in the year 1824, when it was introduced into U.S. soil as a gift to author J.S. Skinner by General Lafayette.

The first thing to be known about this breed is that it is an independent, aggressive and strongwilled dog that has a mind of its own; hence the owner needs to engage it in obedience and submission training while treating it with respect and love.

The Great Pyrenees is a very stoic, intelligent, attentive and sensitive breed that reacts to human feelings and emotions towards them.

Regardless of this, the Great Pyrenees is a breed with a kind heart; and this is evident in the way it protects and nurtures lives and properties with his whole life. The Great Pyrenees is kind to children and other animals; especially animals that are vulnerable in nature.

The Great Pyrenees is a curious dog who does a lot of loud barking to scare away intruders and alert its owners of trespassers.

Environment

Exercise

The Great Pyrenees breed is a strong and unruly dog that can pose a problem to its owner when it comes to training and exercising; but with consistent and an iron hand, this breed is easily trained. Hence, this breed is not suitable for gentle or timid owners.

The Great Pyrenees need more obedience, leash, and socializing training than exercises, therefore the maximum time for exercising a Great Pyrenees should be 30 minutes of walking.

Grooming

This breed is a doublecoated breed with a thick and long outer – coat and a soft undercoat that is self–cleaning; i.e. it doesn’t need washing when it gets muddy, all you need to do is allow it to dry and then you brush off the dirt.

The double coat of the Pyrenees is important to keep it cool during the hot season and warm during the cold season; hence it doesn’t require shaving. The Great Pyrenees are shedders, so the owners need to brush the coat regularly to remove loose hair.

Also, the nails of the Great Pyrenees need to be clipped regularly; and the ears and teeth need to be cleaned regularly to prevent infections.
