    Hey all! I adopted a Great Pyrenees about 5 weeks ago - 10 month old male. He'll be 1 on 9/11/24. I got him from a farm a few hours away where he trained for the first 9 months of his life around chickens, sheep, cats, and with his mom on the same farm. Both his parents were/are LGDs. He's an...

    Great Pyrenees Killing Hens

    Hi there, I'm new here! We have two Great Pyrenees, aged 8 and 9 months, who have been attacking and killing several of our hens and a rooster. They usually do this when we are not at home (we let them roam freely with collars because we have an electric dog fence) but they never hurt or kill...

    Help with a Great Pyrenees

    If someone here has any experience with Great Pyrenees I could use some advice. I have 4yo purebred female Pyr who is one of the best dogs I've ever had. I've raised her from a pup and she's never killed anything before. Within the last month she's started killing baby chickens. I thought it...

    Hi all, I am a first time pyr owner and we brought our 7 month old boy home yesterday. He was not leash trained but has already picked up on it very well and so far has been a dream. The main reason we got him was so that he could watch over our livestock. He is already goat trained and I am...

    Meet Willow! Great Pyrenees Puppy Log

    I got my sweet girl Willow March 7. Her birth date is January 15, 2022. She is a purebred Great Pyrenees, and I am hoping she will be as good with livestock as her parents were. She’s already doing great. I’ve taught her a few tricks- sit, touch, and down. I’m still using lures because I feel...

    LGD for poultry

    Hello! I am considering buying an LGD puppy or dog for protecting my hens when they are free-ranging outside. There are a few options open to me right now and I’d love to hear some feedback. First, there is a 6 month old Maremma who I think up until now has just been a family dog. Is it...

    Teaching dog to guard chickens and bark at things

    I have got 6 months old Great Pyr/Lab mix pup. She is ok with chickens - does not try to grab or chase them - although we have only tried on leash so far. She likes to lay or sit and watch them. But she does not guard them. I.e. she will not necessarily come to look at them if they make alarming...

    Hi, so we got a Pyr puppy (after our 15+ year old lab/pyr passed away) and she's fantastic. Has little trouble going to the bathroom outside, doesn't bite, chews very little. She's a dream for the most part, until we have to put her in the kennel at night, she barks and howls for a good hour-...
