    Great Pyrenees are the most insane dog breed. Will sleep 20 hours a day, let small children and friendly animals literally maul them without even a growl - and then when their danger sense goes off and shit goes down transform into a freaking dire wolf on meth whose owed money

    I love my pyr. Besides the massive massive amount of shedding best dogs ever

        They are amazing - literal definition of gentle giants. Gentle giants that will also fight off wolves with literal spidey-sense

      When my son was a toddler, we lived near an alpaca farm. They had two Great Pyrenees to keep the mountain lions away. One of them took to my son and dug a tunnel under the fence to come visit him once a day like clockwork. The owner found the tunnel and fixed it, the dog dug another one.

      Finally he just told us to come over and allowed us to basically visit the farm whenever so that the dog wouldn’t keep digging.

      He was so gentle with my son. I never felt unsafe with that dog around.
