Known for its majestic white coat, remarkable independence, protective instincts, and calm devotion, the Great Pyrenees is unlike the average companion dog.

But successfully living with a Great Pyrenees requires an understanding of its unique physical, behavioral, and emotional needs.

This comprehensive handbook takes readers from the breed’s ancient origins in the Pyrenees Mountains through every important stage of responsible ownership. Whether you are considering your first Great Pyrenees, raising a puppy, caring for an adult companion, managing a working livestock guardian, or supporting a beloved senior dog, this book provides practical and educational guidance for the journey.

Inside, you will discover:
