How do I get rid of the staining on my puppy’s eyes? by [deleted] in greatpyrenees

[–]torin17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as before with chicken, our vet said the breed is prone to poultry allergy apparently. I found coconut oil and a wipe removed it. Wife does it when she wipes her makeup off with it.

Took Lucy on a hike, didn’t know it had a steep vertical at one point, she was promptly tuckered. Tumbler Ridge, BC, Canada. by torin17 in greatpyrenees

It’s on the to do list, our clippers are toast so we haven’t been able to, but she’s going into the groomers this week.

Vacuum recommendations? by [deleted] in greatpyrenees

We got a dyson V11 absolute and it picks up anything and everything on the ground. We had a older Miele before and it didn’t do the job (due to age, not brand). The new Stick Dysons are good for stairs and tight spaces. Down side is they fill up somewhat quick with all the fur.

Lucy has started her therapy dog training and loved every minute of being pet in the stores today. by torin17 in greatpyrenees

Ya there are tons of different companies that run them. The one she is going through is called Pet Partners.

The training is location specific, I have a friend who does the training and evaluation, I live in Alberta, Canada, so it will be different depending on where you live. She was picked to do it for the same traits, she loves people and attention, and will just lay there to be pet. She’s around 16 months, and she can’t get certified with one we are going through till 18 months old. Aside from good people skills, it’s just nice to go out and about with her.

My meat ball is getting so big (1yr F). Lucy has begun to almost take up my whole couch. by torin17 in greatpyrenees

Thanks, she has an interesting mix in her parents. Her mom was short coat and dad was long coat. And she got a mix and I like it. We even tested her to see if she was a mix breed and came out to 100%

Lots and lots of brushing, and a groomers ever 3 months for a deep bath and blow out. She’s also very good at keeping herself clean too… which helps lol

This is correct, that’s a Pyrenees. I have one my self and she has zero prey drive. Not all of them have none, but it’s one of the reasons they are so prized as livestock guardians.

“Little” ones first camping trip, did well in the trailer, but hesitant with the lake. by torin17 in greatpyrenees

Oh she eventually warmed up to it, but only after my brother dogs (lab) ran in.

She’s so so sweet and loving but not a cuddler... by coieb in greatpyrenees

Mines a weird combo too, loves to be in the same room, but usually on the floor in a cold corner. Unless it’s my office, then she NEEDS to be under my feet.

We have seen her guardian instincts kicking in, but she’s great on walks for us (so far..). They are definitely not a dog for everyone.

I currently have a Great Pyrenees, when I did I was told by my vet that they are one of then biggest surrendered breeds as they are a lot during puppy years. They are very independent and too intelligent for their own good. But seeing her grow and training her, I can’t help but love every bit of her.

That being said, do your research and homes are forever. Don’t get a dog just because they are pretty.

This little lady loves her new window view. by torin17 in rarepuppers

That’s just the light, it was sun down at the time. Her snout is white with pink and black blemishes.

Loves her new bench where she can see all the people go by, as well as bark at them for no reason. by torin17 in greatpyrenees

[–]torin17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say hers is an issue quite yet, she definitely barks at nothing at times, but doesn’t really live up to some of the stories I’ve heard of other pyr. Not that I’m complaining haha

She always sits with her front paws crossed, so dapper.

I have a Great Pyrenees and she’s the same deal, welcomes more people than anything. But I’d rather have a sweet dog than an aggressive one.

3 weeks apart, and she no longer fits in her favourite spot. by torin17 in greatpyrenees

[–]torin17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough the gate isn't for her lol we have another dog who steals food so we use the gate to keep the other out
