we just lost our great pyrenees Godzilla ..he was 17 and his heart gave out..missing him so much.

Finally, I find someone in Texas, I have a Great Pyrenees, Blu is he’s name, and I also live in TEXAS, I keep my baby inside in the summer, even though we have a creek at the end of our property, and with all this rain, that we’ve been having, he’s in heaven, Following you guys from now on 👏🏼

I live in south Texas and my pyre loves sunbathing in the middle of the day during the summer… she also loves to come into the ice cold AC when she’s had enough . Best dogs eve

I came to this video because my mother is always texting me telling me she seen on the news about dogs dying outside in the heat and that our great Pyrenees can't be outside more than 20 minutes. We've went back and fourth about this and I figured I had to find a good video to show her explaining the breed more. Ours was born on a farm and she was born outside in Virginia. We live in Pennsylvania, it does into the high 90s but she has shade and water, and when I try to bring her inside she will push to stay outside. She's loves it. We brush her everyday or so and they do shed a ton!!

We are in Southern AZ. While they love the snow & monsoons, they love a good hose down or pool too.

I had 2 Pyr's in Florida, they stayed inside with our Husky. 😀 The birds love their fur for nesting.

In hot weather,.. You keep the undercoat brushed out if you can. Their bodies DO KNOW the environment they are in. And react to the same. Pyrs have been working from Newfoundland (a breed they are part of) to Texas. And have been doing it for some thousands of years. Climate is not our problem really. People knowing we are Nocturnal, and Awake All Night IS 😏 ... people are New, Pyrs Aren't 🥰🐕‍🦺🥰 THEY ARE A SPECIAL BREED 🖖

We have the opposite weather questions up here, how cold is too cold? Our Great Pyrenees looove the cold and snow. Their winter coats are so full and beautiful. They are such a smart breed and great pets.

FACT = ALL DOGS suffer in heat & humidity days ..... BUT, Darker dogs unable to get shade and enough water will suffer more. People who think they have OUR ISSUE with sweating are WRONG .... dogs have NO SWEAT GLANDS and rely on Panting - rapid respiration to cool their core temperature ! They must have what is critical ... FOOD, WATER & SHELTER .... to survive ... and PERSONAL INTERACTION from their humans is ESSENTIAL ! Especially with Pyrs !! The Pyrenees is a very smart, cunning, observant & emotionally dialed in creature .... He or She will depend on those that CARE FOR THEM whether inside or outside dogs they may be !!! Mine is a female and the best dog I have ever known, had and I am very much her best friend. This video is very good in it's showing the Breed and it's overall tendencies and attributes .... adding to it I would say PYRENEES NEED ROOM TO ROAM, GUARD & PRACTICE LONE OR SOCIAL BEHAVIOR INTUITIVE TO THIS BREED. Love them, just love them. jj

Thank you!! We just got a Great Pyrenees in bama. I worry about those high temperatures

The water bowl/trough tip is good. I've had other dogs who never played or dipped themselves in their bowls until I got my Pyrenees. 👍

I'm glad I ran across your channel!! I'm getting 2 pups the end of this week...and checking on another 5 that need to be rehomed. I currently have chickens, ducks and turkeys but want to include goats/sheep & a couple cows!

Hello from the South of France ! I put my Pyr (2 years old) indoor with the air conditioning as it is the canicule this July (32-34 degrees C.) Thanks for the tips !

Great information!

Thanks!

about to move to midland for work for a year and wanted to make sure my pyrenees wouldn’t hate it. good to know he’ll be okay :)

Thank you so much !!! 🙏🏽

Love your videos!

Great information. Sub’d.

Home Depot sells these giant metal things they fill up with water for cows and that they have all different sizes you should get one of those fill it up with cold water for him

Good info

thank you for sharing your care for GP! A lot of people make excuses to let their GP go bc of hot weather!

I love my pyr. A lot of work but so much work. Love your video's. Thank you !

Glad to see this video. I appreciate this video! I have a great pyreenes in Arizona and I always worry about her because Of the heat. I don’t keep her outside but the tips are great for me and also the brush recommendations!❤

We live in the Salem Plateau of Missouri. It gets hot AND cold. The pyrenee's rescues WE get, have different coat thicknesses. Our last one, Rae Dawn Chong, had an extremely thick coat. Our current baby…Polar Bear, has a much lighter, straighter coat. Our dogs roam and get a good sprint on 3 of the 6 acres. With deciduous trees, dug holes, porch skirt and Doggie door, they dogs take care of themselves. Polar won't stay inside, so I do go out and hose her belly and feet. The other dogs go into the watering hole but she doesn't like heavy water on her fur. She also does not like to step over the Kitty pool wall, so I have to have a very shallow pan of water for her to cool off.

I'm in Ohio. I've had three Pyrenees. None of them liked water, for anything except drinking. All three of them have been pets, so guarding livestock was unnecessary. All three of them avoided going out in the rain. A trip to the dog beach doesn't involve a towel; as long as the land side of the beach is fenced in (and whoever maintains the beach has been diligent about clearing the last vestiges of poison ivy out of all recesses). I think, as puppies,they disliked getting baths. Later, as adults, their baths became harder to manage and infrequent. As a result, an inside pet reaches an equalibrium, where they don't accumulate dirt, any faster than shedding occurs.

My two Pyrs love our waterfront property lol

the most important is a water source they like to drink or play with it

Just ordered the combs...I hope you get a commission on them...!?

I use 2 buckets side by side for my dog. He stands in one bucket and drinks from the other one. He likes to shove his whole face in the water to drink, so a bucket works best.

We have a pool, they won't touch it 😂

Hey bud, what are you doing about their hair with them being used for what they’re meant for because mine seems to matte up three or four days if not brushed for 2 hrs lol

Thanks for the great video. Im in North Texas and thinking about getting some Great Pyrenees. Do you ever have to bring them into an air conditioned space?

I have a question….we are fostering a huge 1 yr old just neutered male GP. In your experience, can he make a livestock guardian dog if he was a pet as we suspect? And how would one go about trying to make that happen? Thank you!!

My Great Pyrenees stay inside 😂❤ she only go out to play but most of the time she’s inside playing with her big sister beagle 😂❤

any idea how many liters or gallons of water a Great Pyrenees drinks on a summer day?

The rake in the description isn't the same one you're using.

We got our Pyrenees last May and he likes to swim in the pool is that normal?

What do you do about mosquitoes with the water troughs? I'm considering moving somewhere warmer but trying to figure out if it's suitable for my boyyyyy. And mosquitoes in standing water is a big concern.

That is so awesome I'm starting my farm here in Sierra Blanca Texas and I would like to purchase two of your Great Pyrenees I would like a male and a female for next year of 2023 if you can have some by then or maybe put me on your list please contact me so we can discuss your procedures of adopting two beautiful puppies

What about spraying them with a water hose?

looking for the link to instruments for keeping the GP clean

Well I rescued mine and she was awful and had to have all her hair cut off it was sad she was abused bad now she doesn't leave my side ever she is just over 1

What do you do if your Great Pyrenees doesn’t like the water? Both of our Pyrenees avoid water at all cost!!

I have a Pyrenees from texas, seems like a lot of rescue dogs come out of texas. I thought it was because they were ill suited for the climate, must just be shitty breeders and lazy farmers.

#1 DO NOT SHAVE THESE DOGS, their undercoat insulation works both ways, not only does it keep them warm, it also keeps them cool. #2 BIG ASS FAN, I leave a 3ft diameter fan blowing across the porch in the shade where they can cool off (and across their water to keep the bugs out) #3 Kiddie Pool, keep a kiddie pool full of clean water in the shade. (if it's gonna be real hot, throw in ~50# of ice!) #4 if you can, LET THEM IN THE AC!!! Do you like being outside on a 100 degree humid day?!?!?!?!? #5 Rake out that undercoat! Get the loose hair out, lowers matting and helps their underecoat do it's job better! Truthfully, if you need a LGD in a hot environment look at a breed better suited for the heat, like a Anatolian Shepard, Pyrs aren't good hot weather dogs!!!! (mine spend the summer pretty much inside on the couch by their own choice.)

Their sweat glands are in their feet, so having a trough where they can get in and cool their feet is such a benefit to them! Our big Toby likes to get in and dig dig dig the water! 😅 The benefit for us is that he's washing all that NC red mud off his legs!

Dogs,elephants,rhinos get sunburn!!

Can you tell me what your procedure is for adoption

Video is a waste of time. Simply give your dog the opportunity to choose where it wants to be. Make sure there is plenty of shade outside as well as clean water. Install a doggie door so that the dog can come and go as he pleases. I've had double-coated dogs in the tropics for years with no issues.
