The Thayer family, raises real working stock on their homestead. The pups from day one are born outside in their domesticated ‘den’. As soon as they open their eyes and start to explore they are allowed safe access to all of our stock with the perfect teachers, mom and dad, along with supervision from the family. Pups need plenty of time learning from the best before they take on their own land. When you watch these dogs work, you realize there is so much more than meets the eye. They know how to approach the livestock as not to startle them, to show they are the guardian not the threat. The pups thrive walking step for step with the adults. They soak up the body language their elders exhibit among each of the stock. The language is different from specie to specie. The dogs don't approach the goats the same way they do the pigs and when we send the pups off to their new charges, they already have a leg up and a solid foundation. In this video you

Beautiful dogs. We had two growing up. Lather and Kylee. Amazing, loyal, protective, sweet, all around amazing. Grew up on 15 acres of land, and we had a neighbor across the way, their two black labs would get lose and run to our property. Kylee was around 9 or 10 years old when they ran right at me one day, and when I tell you she growled and asserted her dominance and scared these two labs away by herself!! It was amazing. I always felt so protected by her. I miss her

I think my Pyr must be broken. He is 5-years-old, and the most protective dog I have ever owned, but stubborn he is not. From the moment I wake up until I go to bed, Denali is at my side watching over my family. He follows commands like a well-oiled machine. ❤️ He is amazing.

I love how she described the dog as the primary entity that makes things safe and comfortable on the homestead. They really do have one of the very most important jobs on any Homestead dogs are man's best friend for a reason, followed up by a close second with cats providing protection from rodents, pests, etc for food stores protection and much more. These 2 animals are really a gift from god 🙏

[@TacoCrisma]

If you are looking for a GP on the east coast (or even not) I would highly recommend Impyrial Great Pyrenees. They aren’t cheap, but they have some of the best pyrs between health, temperament, features, and stature. Our pyr Charlie is a guard dog and a farm dog - he stays inside with us and helps our shepherd guard the house. He’s the most gentle giant ever, until he goes into guard mode. These dogs are intense powerhouses - don’t let their fluff and laziness fool you. I’d say the only dogs that could match their ferocity would be Caucasians and Kangals.

[@streghewitch77]

A few Pyrenees and A few Anatolian working the same flock/herd together is nature's finest security team! They are both guardian breeds but they do their jobs very differently. The white dogs, (the Pyrenees, Maremma and there's one other that looks identical to them.. I just can't pull the name out of my head). The white dogs don't usually leave their charges to give chase on a predator....but the Anatolians and a few breeds with the same drives will leave the flicks unguarded to give Chase and typically don't stop until one of them is dead. This makes them the perfect security team for guarding any piece of property, animals, kids, cats you-name-it belgard it and they will work out a pecking order that they work together it's so beautiful!! I love seeing people like you getting back to how things were always meant to be. Back before medieval times & all that, humans learned to live with most predators instead of hunting them to Extinction. Good on ya!

[@crystalwilson2755]

Please those of you who DONT KNOW THE BREED! do NOT get one of these dogs unless you are ready for the good and the bad!! We love our pyrs. But they shed, they bark A LOT. They do not take orders. They are huge, and eat a lot. They are not friendly to people outside their family. There are so many homeless pyrs because people buy them as cute puppies

[@WafflesNPotholes]

If your pyr doesn’t follow obedience commands, it hasn’t been properly trained. If its aggressive to strangers, it hasn’t been socialized properly.

[@hmmmhmmm6178]

@@WafflesNPotholes It's a bit more nuanced than that. Pyrs and LGDs in general are incredibly stubborn and independent-thinking; while they might be able to follow commands, often enough there will be situations where you'll need to repeat a command several times and sometimes they just won't listen even with a proper training. They aren't always too friendly to strangers especially on their own territory, but they'll behave mostly fine outside their territory - though they're not a Lab and will be mostly uninterested in other people when outside their territory. They can be aggressive to strangers when protecting their land and the stranger didn't follow the rules how to behave infront of such a dog, biting is something very rare though. Many people just ignore those characteristics and just adopt a GP because they look so fluffy, but more often they forget that those are working dogs - even the show dogs reflect this mentality of a working dog - also training is a bit more difficult if you have no experience with LGD. Those dogs are not modern, urban-friendly dogs, those dogs are archaic - which some people sadly forget, so consequentially lots of GPs end up mistreated or abandoned.

[@vihaze6725]

Yep, there are too many idiots who go 'Ooh! A fluffy white puppy!' and do absolutely no research into the breed or their requirements before they get one. It's not just a giant white Golden Retriever, guys. It's a working dog.

My neighbors down the street back in my old house had a Great Pyrenees named Hugo. Big furry guy, seemed friendly the few times I saw him. He was big but he was built more like a lion in that he was longer than he was taller and had a deep booming bark. I was surprised they had him considering this is Florida which gets stupidly hot and is not meant for furry dogs like him.

Pyrenees are the sweetest dogs but they are dumb as box of rocks! They have the scariest bark. It will rattle the windows and that’s when they are outside! My sister had one named Beauregard, BoBo for short, and he would jump on the hood of visitors cars hood. We had several people call and ask if they could come inside or if it was safe to get out of the car lol. After ordering a few pizzas we were cut off from delivery because everyone was scared to get out of their car. “I promise he won’t hurt you, he’s a big baby!” “Your baby is a 7’ white grizzly bear!” A family friend has two pet Pyrenees and they have a full couch that only they are allowed to use, covered in white hair. True working Pyrenees shouldn’t be touched more than necessary and should live, eat, and think they are one of the sheep.

[@mikebauss2925]

Pyrenees are not dumb. But they will bark at the wind, stars, thunder because they are in charge of everything and any threat to the farm has to know they gotta deal with me.

@@xxholicxxclover7413 More often than not I see structure go downhill in show lines. Not saying working lines don't encounter problems but the goal of shows tends to allow overarching aesthetics and poor interpretations of anatomical theory to take over.
