6 Reasons NOT to Get a Great Pyrenees

March 24, 2019 90 Comments

Great Pyrenees are beautiful, majestic dogs, but they're not for everyone. If you want a pyr, consider these six things first.

As livestock guardian dogs, they don’t behave like most breeds. They bark, they dig, they roam, and they’re very independent.

How To Prevent Great Pyrenees Roaming

Great Pyrenees roaming is a problem most pyrents can understand. Here are our top tricks to prevent your dog from going on a solo adventure.


A few weeks ago, we discussed Great Pyrenees barking. Today, we’ll be talking about Great Pyrenees roaming. I could give you the simple answer—keep him on leash or in a fenced area— but I’m sure you want more than that.

A common saying in the Great Pyrenees community is, “an off-leash pyr is a disapyr”. There’s a reason it has stuck all these years.

Before bringing Mauja home, I read a lot on Great Pyrenees and their tendency to roam. I decided to work on Mauja’s off-leash skills anyway (foolish).

All was going smoothly until she hit adolescence and her pyr instincts really started to kick in.

I remember the first time she trotted off. She saw a screwdriver on the ground (no idea what that was doing in a field), picked it up, and happily pranced off in the other direction.
