GREAT PYRENEES MOUNTAIN DOG’S IN DURBAN

My Great Pyrenees are loving, affectionate dogs, the perfect choice for a family. However, this breed most certainly needs a firm hand and a patient owner. It must be remembered that the Great Pyrenees was bred specifically to work in harsh, desolate conditions, often alone and independently, and its job was to protect its livestock at all costs. Because it often worked alone and therefore had to make decisions on its own, the Great Pyrenees can appear to be stubborn because it doesn't seem to "listen" and "obey" its owner, always. If you understand that your pet has in its ancestral history the necessity to be a tough, self-motivated working dog, you'll understand where this temperament comes from and will not consider it a personality flaw. Instead, you can learn to work with these characteristics rather than against them. One of the things you'll notice about the Great Pyrenees is its expression. This calm, confident dog is extremely loving and devoted to those for whom it cares, which shows on his or her face. The expression is usually one of alert, calm, regal contentment—but also ready to spring into action at a moment's notice.
