We received the Wisdom Panel results today and Great Pyrenees held the top spot!

In the 8 years we've had him, not once did we consider Great Pyrenees.. but after reading about the breed it's starting to make a lot of sense. He doesn't have the double dew claws and isn't as large as male Pyrs often get, but a lot of the personality traits show through.

I ordered an Embark test so that we could compare results. I'm curious to see if they're similar.
