National Pyr Rescue is a brand that is dedicated to the rescue and rehoming of Great Pyrenees dogs. As one of the oldest livestock guardian dog breeds, Great Pyrenees have a unique and independent nature that sets them apart from other breeds. National Pyr Rescue understands the distinctive personality of Pyrs and provides valuable information to help potential owners understand their behavior.

Great Pyrenees are intuitive and independent thinkers, making them formidable protectors and companions. They are not herding dogs; they are guardians. Owners of Pyrs need to be patient and establish themselves as confident pack leaders.

Training techniques like Nothing in Life is Free can help create a well-behaved dog. To ensure the safety of Pyrs and their surroundings, secure fencing of at least 5 feet high is necessary as Pyrs are roamers. Additionally, Pyrs are known to drool, bark, shed their undercoats, and dig deep craters in the yard.

Understanding and accepting these natural behaviors is essential for a harmonious relationship with a Pyr. National Pyr Rescue encourages potential owners to consider the lifetime commitment and financial responsibilities associated with owning a Pyr. They provide valuable resources and support to ensure that Pyrs find loving and understanding forever homes
