My dog had puppies

Congrats! Are you going to sell them, where do you live? Yes, Pyrenees can have that badger coloring. Here's me w our neighbor's Pyrenees, what a sweetheart....

If you can train them to guard chickens, they will be worth their weight in gold to a lot of people, purebred or no.

I have a Great Pyrenees, that as we know is full blooded. We got him a mate and they had puppies, both male and female are white, but she had brown puppies. So I’m confused on what happened. Please help!

Like others have said, Pyrenees can have "badger" markings. And it is not uncommon in working LGD's to see the coat patterns your pups have as a result of a cross somewhere along the line with another breed of LGD like an Anatolian.

Health-tested and pedigreed are not often on the radar of those looking for a true working LGD. Having parents that work and have taught the pups to work is of far more value. You might want to consider keeping the pups until they are 3 mths old (or older) before you send them to new WORKING homes. The parents are the best teachers for the pups....

the Only health-tested, pedigreed, and useful dogs need to be bred!

And that’s definitely debatable, we don’t need anymore dogs to be bred , people looking to make money off “perfect purebred dogs”, really need to look around at all the shelters and humain societies in this world , what a sad example of first world problems .. I’m very sad for those puppies we really don’t need anymore puppies

I myself have two shelter dogs, I’m saying that to help dogs have homes people that breed just for money shouldn’t do so. Only healthy dogs that have a purpose should be allowed to breed. It’s not responsible breeders who have dogs in shelters

The adult female in the picture isn't Great Pyrenees. She's really grey

The thing is both dogs have double dew claws

The thing is both dogs have double dew claws

That may be a dominant gene in the Pyrenees breed so puppies from any breed crossed with that breed will have them. I used to breed Great Pyrenees crosses some years ago. My female was 100% Pyrenees and she had double dew claws. My male was 75% Pyrenees and he also did

I found this article on color variations:
Great Pyrenees Coat Colors
The Great Pyrenees reputation as big, white dogs has caused some confusion when people see Pyrs with darker colors throughout their coats. I attended an AKC show once, where all the Pyrs were pure white. (The AKC defines the Pyr color as "a white or principally white coat that may contain markings of badger, gray, or varying shades of tan.")

In our rescue days, people were quick to dispute a certain Pyr or two of ours as not being "full" Pyrs, due to some of the color variations they'd see. In addition to the potential for badger (the darker trimmed colors around the ears), gray, and tan, I've also read that it is acceptable to see colors more reddish in appearance. Such was the case with a couple of Pyrs I've met.

Pyrs can have any or all of these other colors anywhere on their body! The only general rule of thumb as a disqualifier is if these darker colorations cover more than 1/3 of their total body. So your true Pyr could have a white head, with dark colors throughout. They could have a very dark, masked face and a white body. Any combination is okay! My Ana had a very dark grey mask as a puppy; people thought she was a mix. These days, it looks more black than grey. Christie's Reg has colors which can only be described as more caramel in color, and they are seen frequently throughout his coat.

Why sad for the puppies? The world needs caring breeders. What we don’t need are backyard breeders that don’t take proper care of the dogs and are just looking to make a profit. If you are responsible, caring, and find the dogs good homes, then there is no problem. This may be just stemming from the fact that I live in a state that actually has a dog shortage (the shelters actually take quite a lot of their dogs from states down south and Puerto Rico, they are also almost all no-kill due to the numbers of loving homes).
