About the Great Pyrenees
The Great Pyrenees is a giant dog breed originating in France (Pyrenees mountains). Adult dogs typically weigh 85 to 130 pounds and live 10 to 12 years. The breed is described as livestock-guardian, independent, vocal, territorial.
Acreage or hobby-farm living where the breed's livestock-guardian instincts have an outlet. Urban or suburban townhouses; the territorial barking and roaming tendency make the breed poorly suited to dense living.
Adult Great Pyreneess need about 60 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 75 minutes. The coat is double-coated with very-high shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
