Is A Pyr For Me? - Great Pyrenees Club of Chicago - GPCGC.ORG

Pyr owners need to keep in mind the traditional role that Pyrenees were bred to fulfill — that of flock guardian.
. . .
(The Shepherds and Goldens in your obedience class may well drop to a 'sit' in 2 seconds, while your Pyr is still positioning its body to do so...) They can be very quick and agile when they want to be, but they often don't see the point.
. . .
Owning a dog should be a complete pleasure, and it can be, if the dog and handler are obedience trained!
. . .
Pyrs comfort their owners in times of sadness, with gentle understanding, and are always on hand when support is needed.
. . .
Nails, including those on the double dewclaws, should be routinely trimmed.
. . .
One might ask no more reliable or sympathetic companion than the Great Pyrenees, and surely no more beautiful dog may be found.  When a Pyrenees focuses on the affairs of their family, their powers of deduction are uncanny.
