Great Pyrenees
Great Pyrenees (85-100+ pounds) are calm, protective, and gentle, best for experienced owners with space. They’re great with kids but need supervision due to size. Moderate exercise (1-2 hours daily, walks or guarding) suits them; their thick coat needs frequent brushing.
Feed 4-6 cups daily of Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Chicken & Rice Formula, with 26% protein for joint health. Split meals to prevent bloat. Best for outdoor living in cooler climates with indoor access, they’re not for apartments or hot regions.
Training curbs guarding. Ideal for rural owners, Pyrs thrive with space, not for urban or first-time homes.
