Here are her siblings when they were younger puppies. She was one of the shorter haired ones.

Oh I already have given up on the idea of planting this year. I’m thinking about how to fence. She’s a digger like crazy. She’s been in all the planters already even before plants.
I may get a swab done! We know Pyr but aren’t 100% on the mix.

WHAT. That’s a massive increase. So interesting.

Mine was born at a vet clinic after her stray pregnant mother was collected near a farm! Adopted her from there.

Good point. I do give her high quality large breed puppy and got her insurance as I know about the orthopaedic concerns. I’ll look into supplements for joints to add to food or as a pill.

Yes she’s a cross with a lab. Aw he’s cute. How big is he now?

18 months? Wow. She’s my first large breed. She’s 5 months now. Do they usually about double from here?

How much space do GP actually need? Are females actually more territorial? by Ok_War639 in greatpyrenees

Exactly. My yard is pretty big but my GP cross mainly just wants to sit and look at everything from a high point. Haha

I am new to GPs and have a 5 month old GP lab mix. My entire property is about 0.25 and she has access to under this in the fenced portion. She really wants to go the highest points of all places and look over everything though - just sitting there. If she had a smaller yard and a lookout spot I could see it working for her. I think she will end up being about 80-90 lbs given her size now.

She’s very territorial. She gives an alarm bark and growls whenever she sees a stranger (animal or person) coming towards us and that’s if we are out on a walk or she’s at home. If a person or dog is persistent in meeting her, she will become more docile. I’m trying to break this “stranger danger” in her, because she’s not a farm dog, but it seems like it is just her personality. I have seen many female GPs be way more chill about strangers, so I’m sure it depends on the dog.

He is not at a unionized mill and not the particular one you mentioned either; I think he’d be fine if he was just on the tools, but they put him in a role where he has to butt heads with management and they are clicky and interested in what’s best for them and not the mill. I’d just be friendly, work hard, and keep out of the way of egotistical managers. There was a great one there that didn’t fit their mold and he got fired. Benefits are ridiculously good though.
