Prince is a 3-year-old Great Pyrenees weighing in at a very stout, very impressive 130 pounds of pure, unfiltered Pyr. Prince is as classic as they come. He knows exactly what is happening everywhere at all times and takes his self-appointed role as neighborhood security very seriously. In the absence of actual sheep, Prince feels it is his duty to inform his people about the Amazon driver, the squirrel, and the neighbor walking their dog out front. This is important work and he would like you to appreciate it. He is wonderful with his people and is a silly, fun dog at heart. He is also respectful with people he does not know. Prince loves to play, but like many large working breeds, his athletic efforts come in brief, dramatic bursts. Expect thirty-second sprints followed by a full body collapse on the floor, tongue out.
Ideal Home
Prince needs adopters who genuinely understand and appreciate the Great Pyrenees breed and all of its quirks. He requires a securely fenced yard and is completely untrustworthy off leash. Teen-aged kids and up would be best for this big guy.
Ongoing Health
Prince is selectively deaf and hears only what aligns with his personal priorities.
Training & Support
He is not an obedience champion and he is not pretending to be. He is independent, thoughtful, and very comfortable making his own decisions. He also sheds. He barks when he sees things. He does exactly the things Great Pyrenees are famous for doing. If you tell him he has been B A D, he will sulk and take it personally. He is perfectly housebroken and supremely well-mannered in the home.

We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home.
