GreatPyrenees

The name Great White Bear was given to him because of his physical appearance, which resembles that of a polar bear. His aliases include Great White Bear and Pyrenees Large Mountain Dog, native to the Pyrenees mountains on the border between France and Spain, so he is also known as the Pyrenees.

The Great White Bear is robust and coordinated, beautiful and elegant, stately and majestic, with imperial manners, giving the impression of great elegance and beauty, he combines great size and majestic temperament. Historically, the Great White Bear was used along the Pyrenees to protect sheep and repel bears or wolves that were attacking them. The Great Pyrenees has a medium-sized body (not particularly fat or thin) and is easily deceived by its dense coat without touching its bones and muscles. In harmony with its size and elegant appearance, the ample bone and muscle provide a balanced body structure. The coat that can withstand any climatic conditions is composed of two layers of hair: the cape is long, flat and thick, with coarse, stiff hair that is straight or slightly wavy; the undercoat is dense, slender and cottony. The hair on the neck and shoulders of males is particularly dense, forming a bib or mane. Longer hairs on the tail form feathery trim hairs. The trim also extends to the back of the forelimbs and thighs, creating a "pants" effect. The hair on the face and ears is short and well textured. The correct coat is more important than the amount of hair. The Great Pyrenees has a lot to offer, such as intelligence, confidence, friendliness, etc. We all know there is no such thing as a perfect dog, so anyone who has owned a Great Pyrenees should know that the Great Pyrenees is not gentle and alert, but just seems docile, but not all of them, and there are exceptions.

Gentle nature, good stamina, physical ability, bravery, closeness to people, and a strong protector, can be used as a hunting dog, herding dog, police dog, guard dog and ornamental dog.

The dog needs a large living space and should not be petted by strangers. Many expatriates in China breed this dog.

He is physically very strong, but is a very kind dog at heart. He is very adaptable to a domestic lifestyle, but is not an indoor breed. The Great Pyrenees was not born very calm and was once seen on the battlefield, even with chains around its neck in some cases.

The Great Pyrenees gives the impression of being very elegant and beautiful, combining great size with a majestic temperament. The coat is white or predominantly white, interspersed with gray, or varying shades of teal markings. It is very intelligent, kind and kingly. Whether standing or moving, it displays a distinctive elegance, always appearing solid and coordinated, clearly reflecting the purpose for which the breed was bred: to guard sheep in all climatic conditions, on the steep slopes of the Pyrenees.

The Great Pyrenees has a very kind heart, a confident, calm and steady character, a very docile temperament, very loyal to people, very affectionate, and in him you can see the ability that a guard dog should have. He will protect his territory, his flock or his family when needed, and he usually appears calm, composed, patient and tolerant. He is very strong-willed, independent and slightly reserved, caring, loyal and brave to the human or animal in his charge.

If you want him to have a very healthy body and mind, and a very beautiful face and posture, you should leave him enough time for exercise, and of course enough food is very important, as well as a regular time to groom his coat. He is very adaptable to a domestic lifestyle, but is not an indoor breed. The Great Pyrenees was not born very calm, it was once seen on the battlefield, and in some cases had chains hanging from its neck. Therefore family-bred Great Pyrenees should try not to be loose to avoid being aggressive to other dogs or humans. It is also best that no one else but the owner of the Great Pyrenees touch him.
