When we get Great Pyrenees in rescue, there are a few recurring reasons for surrenderall of which are breed traits. As livestock guardian dogs, they dont behave like most breeds. They bark, they dig, they roam, and theyre very independent. I love Great Pyreneesthats no secret. But, I dont promote them as a dog for most people. To be honest, as much as I want all dogs to find a home, most people just wont be happy with a pyr.
