He is here!

Our new Great Pyrenese puppy arrived Tues! He is settling in great and I wanted to share a snapshot of him. It will take some time to train him to become a Livestock Guardian Dog, but we have started!

I LOVE the breed!! I groom a few of them and they are just awesome dogs!! It will be interesting to find out just how much "guarding instinct" he has! Keep us informed how things are going, ok?? Best of luck with him!!!

I am trying to find a good Slicker brush- is this a good choice for general grooming of a Great Pyr?

He is only 14 weeks old and weighs over 40 # already! I think he will be as big as my horses!

Thank you, Sterling! I love him already

I should have added, a slicker brush is totally USELESS on this breed!!

I ordered a couple of brushes the other day- should be here the beginning of next week. I ordered an Undercoat Rake from Pet Edge (but I thought it was just for shedding- so thank you for telling me about his comb's uses), and I ordered a Coat Stripper for Spring shedding. Do you use the Undercoat Rake for the ears, feathers, and tails too? I sure don't know much about these combs and etc so I really appreciate your help! Any suggestions you can give me would be GREAT!

The Undercoat Rake I ordered is exactly the one you posted about!

Yeah!

Thank you, Cheryl and Gena- he is so much fun!

Peggy, I was curious to know. Do they have to be kept in the barn with the livestock as in living in the barn for them to "attach" themselves to their herd? I am thinking he is to darn cute and would be a fixture in my house instead of the barn. Probably tell my hubby he was a bearskin rug

awww He's beautiful!!!!!!

 

[albahurst]

Thanks so much everyone!

It is awful hard to keep him in the barn, I must admit! lol But, that is where his pen is at- he is right up next to one of my mares. Of course, there is no way for him to get tangled up with her, but he does love the company. We work everyday on helping him bond with the horses. He does come from working parents, so hopefully he will be a successful working dog!

Aww he's so cute

. I know of a couple that raise alpacas (sp) and they have that breed of dog. He stays in the barn and in the electric fence with them 24/7.

 

[WhiteTailsMinis]

what an adorable face! and those big paws are surely an indication of what's to come LOL He's beautiful - what fun to have a new puppy!

I'll be anxious to hear all about his training!

 

[Zipper]

He is a cutie.

Glad he doesnt live here he would be a couch potato instead of a livestock dog. One look at that face and I would be running him to the house.

Very cute boy. We have three of these guys and they are the best at keeping the wildlife away! But they are so gentle with our pets and are so sweet
