Generally, the great Pyrenees is a good family pet because he's a calm, affectionate, gentle dog. He's not a playful dog, meaning he's not into clowning around. He has a serious disposition and is very independent. Those personality traits serve him well in his traditional role of protecting land and livestock from predators.

The Great Pyrenees is a very loyal and alert dog. It is a great watchdog and will bark to let you know of an intruder, and will also act to defend you and the family as it has a strong protective side. It is best though with owners who have experience with strong willed and large dogs.

Great Pyrenees as Pets: The Final Word I think Ranger is a pretty good pet, in general. He's just more independent than the Danes we're used to. He's affectionate, but not as affectionate or as adoring as our Great Dane or our golden retriever.

Great Pyrenees  everyone loves them when theyre puppies. Theyre big white balls of fluff that grow up into large, protective, smart, independent dogs. Some people call them willful or stubborn, and others even say that theyre dumb because they dont immediately follow commands the way some other dogs do.
