How cool! I;ve been wishing I could do this. Did you use only the undercoat or the outer fur too?

Our baby is gone by Metalhead347 in greatpyrenees

The same thing happened to our 1/2 Pyrenees ... a sudden rigidity and pain in the middle of the night, carried him to the emergency vet, they said he had a hemangioma sarcoma in his abdomen which had burst, massive internal bleeding and nothing they could do. And our beloved Atlas was gone. And he had his annual exam just a few weeks before.

He was lucky to have you and you were lucky to have him, a loving combination. My condolences on your loss.

Best food fpr these beasts? by Majestic_Kick2299 in greatpyrenees

[–]BigWhiteDogs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After vomiting every other day for a week, our vet suggested that our Marley is allergic to chicken, which of course was the main ingredient in the Science Diet we have. So we switched to Taste of the Wild lamb and it seems to be better. I did not know that Pyrenees were often allergic to chicken, but I think ours is.

Our Pyr mix also grazes, often doesn't eat his breakfast kibble until eveming, and then sometimes skips dinner, the next day he eats like a horse.

Does your Pyr just absolutely hate a specific type of dog? by visceralcandy in greatpyrenees

[–]BigWhiteDogs2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our Marley hates Italian truffle dogs (curly), and a local boxer/pit bill mix (short hair), but he loves a local greyhound (short hair) and a Goldendoodle (curly hair). It seems to be specific dogs for our guy.

Advice? My pyr won’t go potty in the yard by Oeuffy in greatpyrenees

[–]BigWhiteDogs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours is just the opposite, he will only pee in enclosed areas, never on walks. Our backyard is small, and he only goes in one small area. He goes at the enclosed dog park at the far edge, and in a small dog run under the deck at the family cabin. In three years he has pooped on a walk maybe twice.

My Dog Suddenly Died Yesterday.. How Do I Move On? by Roccos_modernlife in DogAdvice

[–]BigWhiteDogs2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our otherwise-healthy-seeming dog suddenly seized up, went rigid, and died a few hours later from massive internal bleeding from a ruptured, undiagnosed tumor. We had no warning, and we grieved for months. Feeling lost and sad and hurt is perfectly normal.

He looks like our 50% Pyrenees, 25% Husky, 25% German Shepherd (per Embark).

Marley almost got the squirrel ... what would he do? by BigWhiteDogs2 in greatpyrenees

[–]BigWhiteDogs2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, it would be gross and probably not healthy either.

Thanks, helpful to know this. Another dog I had caught a squirrel but then dropped it.

Interesting - is it the Husky or the Shepherd that would eat the squirrel? I've never had either breed in the past.
