Sweet Iris Farms Great Pyrenees Puppies

After they are eight weeks old.

•Where are you located? Dawson, West Virginia

•Can you meet part way for pick-up? Puppy owners must come to the farm for pick up.

•Is the deposit refundable? No, it is not.

•Do Great Pyrenese make good pets? Yes they do. They just need plenty of exercise, as they are bred to patrol large areas.

•How big do they get? On average my line tends to have females w

eighing in around 80+ pounds. Males can be 100+ pounds.

•Do they bark constantly? Pups will often bark a lot until they learn what is and isn't worth barking at. They will get to the point that when they bark, you know something's up.

•Does their fur need shaved in the summer? Do not shave them. They have double coats that insulate against cold as well as heat. They're coats may not ever grow back properly if shaved.

•Do these dogs kill predators? They sometimes will, but this breed is more of an intimidator than a fighter. They will work to ward off trouble by patrolling and barking before resorting to a fight.

• What are their personalities like? They are very intelligent, very loyal, and affectionate dogs. They are independent thinkers and can be a challenge at times, but they would do just about anything to please you.

•Are they registered? No they are not. I started breeding for working abilities after bad experiences with registered pyres who were bred simply for that reason. Not to say there are not great working, registered pyres out there.

•Do they shed? They will blow their coats in the spring, meaning they will lose a layer of fur nearly at once when warm weather hits. Their coats normally only need a little bit of brushing during this time as the fur mostly comes out on its own.

•How much are your puppies? The puppies are $650 each. $150 holds puppy of choice until pick up upon which $500 is due. The puppies will have all their dewormings, vaccinations, and will be flea treated. Deposits aren't due until pups are born and you've chosen one. Deposits are non refundable so make sure your ready to take on a puppy before committing.
