Here's what the humans have to say about me:
KATHERINE is a beautiful 2 year old lady with the calm assertive GP nature. In fact she is the quintessential text book PYRE
Temperament
The Great Pyrenees is a capable and imposing guardian, devoted to its family, and somewhat wary of strangers - human or canine. They are often used to guard livestock. When not provoked, it is calm, well- mannered, and somewhat serious. Courageous, very loyal and obedient. Gentle and affectionate with those he loves. Devoted to family even if self-sacrifice is required. It is very gentle with its family and children. It does best with children when it is raised with them from puppyhood, and if they are not being used as working flock guards be sure to socialize them well with people, place and noises. It has an independent nature, and may try to dominate a less secure or meek owner, and/or an owner who treats the dog as if he is human, becoming stubborn or territorial. Owners need to be firm, but calm, confident and consistent with the dog. Setting rules the dog must follow and sticking to them. A serious worker, but very independent. Be patient when training the Great Pyrenees, as it may be slightly difficult. If left alone inside the home without the proper amount of exercise and or leadership they can become destructive. The Great Pyrenees is good with non-canine animals, and usually loves cats. These dogs do not reach maturity until they are about 2 years old. Some are not good off the leash and may wander away. Needs an owner who understands and practices natural dogmanship.
KATHERINE WOULD LOVE A HOME WHO UNDERSTANDS AND APPRECIATES THE SPECIAL QUALITIES OF THIS MAJESTIC BREED. SHE IS LOOKING FOR A HOME WHERE HER LOYALTY AND DEVOTION IS RETURNED AND CHERISHED.
Presently KATHERINE is at our affiliate farm sanctuary in west TN.
