Welcome to ABA Great PyreneesThe Great Pyrenees or Pyrenean Mountain Dog is a Mastiff breed that existed in Asia Minor as early as 1800 B.C. The Great Pyrenees is an excellent family dog and not hyperactive. He is not a heavy eater for his size but does require some exercise. Well socialized dogs will be an asset to your family "He feels responsible for you and your family and your properties. He is a serious dog. He is your friend and not your slave."
Breed Standards:The Great Pyrenees' skull is large and wedge shaped with a rounded crown. The ears are set at eye level, triangular in shape with rounded tips and folded down the side of the face. The muzzle is broad with a scissors bite. The eyes are almond shaped, set slightly oblique and dark brown in color. There is a slight excess of skin called the dewlap on the throat. The chest is deep. The back is straight and broad. It slopes slightly at the rump. The tail hangs to below the hocks and is well plumed. It is carried low unless the dog is alert which causes it to curl up over the back. The gait is a rolling, ambling gait. The coat is double with a heavy, fine white undercoat and a long, thick outercoat of straighter coarse hair. Coat color is either all white or white with markings of badger, wolf-gray or varying shades of tan. Average height is between 25 and 32 inches. Average weight is between 90 and 130 pounds.
