Great Pyrenees Pups for sale

Ed,

Yesterday two fawns went through a gate and were in with our big male. The mothers were having a fit. He never looked to play with the fawns. He walked right by them like he sees them year around. We separate him from the doe when they are fawning. They get so protective. He usually roams around. No stray dog, wild deer, coyote or much anything invades the space around our pens or inside them. He is around 150lbs. If he hears my deer blow on the other side of the river he runs that direction immediately. We have a foot bridge he crosses. He hates the water. He brakes up fights in the buck pen in the winter. I used to have coyotes climb over my fences. Before I got him I witnessed a coyote run and hit my fence about 5' up and then climb out over the rest. That is why we got ours.

Ed, Ours does the same thing!  I got one for my mom this winter and they are amazing dogs.  We had an incident on a Polaris and Mom and I ended up on crutches and ours started staying a lot closer to the house but before that he would disappear every day to go play in the mud.  Our GP is a huge puppy almost 8mo old he's tired of our adult deer because they won't play with him but he loves the fawns and my 3yo nephew.  Absolutely the smartest and most natural guard dog we've ever owned.  You'd think he was an old dog until you see him playing in the mud!

Where are you located H&M?? Also can you keep the dogs in the pens with the deer? do they roam on other properties? that is my concern. Also what would you guys recommend male or female as far as staying around the property??  Thanks

Scott,

I would recommend a pair personally.  We have a high school kid that helps us and theirs ran off chasing coyotes and was killed.  Ours hasn't gotten off the property yet but I'm sure he would so we don't leave him out when we are gone or at night.  He's either inside, in the alley or with us if we leave.  We are looking for a second one, but Ed is in Indiana a good ways from us.

We are also currently keeping ours in an alley way. He ran right with the bucks for the first two years we had him. He is very disruptive if we are working our deer through the handler etc. he doesn't understand what's going on and he tries to help herd the deer to us which doesn't work. Their instincts are very strong to protect the livestock they are with in their pen. I would recommend locking your Pyrenees up if your working your deer. You can put them in a pen with a bottle fed buck while he is breeding in the fall and the buck respects the dog and he won't get close to you while your in the pen feeding ever. We cut all our bucks horns in the fall and that's the pen he goes in. He quickly disperses sparing bucks and doesn't allow them to fight and butt heads. This mitigates the risk of infections around their burrs. He also doesn't let wild bucks close to our fences. We have our Pyrenees in the alley next to our doe because he makes it very easy to see which doe has fawned. They are the new ones posturing at him through the fences of our fawning pens along the alley. You aren't ever supposed to let them roam outside the environment they were raised in. They learn the fence is their boundary. Since mine was a pup he has never tried to dig his way out. Our bucks and him lick one another's faces. Even the ones who were adults when we got him as a pup.

My Great Pyrenees is great!  She stayed in the alleyway for her first year.  Experts say you shouldn't place them in with livestock until they are 1 year of age.  She now stays in the pen with our two year old bucks.  She lays right next to them.  They are active at night, barking all night long to warn animals to stay away.  They prefer to sleep during the day and bark less than during the night.  They will roam so they must be confined in some manner.  They are extremely smart, affectionate, and have a huge instinct to guard livestock (not to be confused with a herding instinct).  I only have one but two are best and I plan to get another one soon.

We have Great Pyrenees for sale 150.00 each they or months old.

I am strongly considering getting one locally this weekend. I found a lady that has them for $600, but she takes $100 off if you use them to guard livestock and not just as pets. Hers are 14 weeks old and currently in a goat pen. Everything I have read on this page seems to be great about them so I think it could only benefit my farm.

Get one, you won't regret it.  Great having that piece of mind, especially at night.

Would you suggest getting two Great Pyrenees pups or would one do fine by itself?

I have a registered male that I am willing to breed your femal.

My pup came home yesterday. His name is Bennett. He's doing well, but the other dogs need time to adjust to him ( note the barking chihuahua in the background) he is living with the bottlefed fawns right now.

Cute pup Matt, hope he does a great job with the deer.

Very cute Matt. Bring on the bears, coyotes and wild dogs now and they will be diggin ditches to keep Bennett from taking their legs off. He will have a very serious bark once he is an adult. That alone will scare intruders away.

Thanks Bell. I look forward to watching him grow up. Sorry for taking so many post on you thread Ed, but at least it's keeping your topic open and fresh. Hopefully you get some of your pups sold.

I wish Ed was closer because i would have one this week. Enjoy that little guy!  I would be afraid one would run off chasing the so many yotes in my area and not make it back home. Do you guys that have them just keep them in the pens with the deer or do they stay outside the pens and just patrol at will?
