Why are Pyrs so great?
If you've never heard of Great Pyrenees before, you should! This incredible breed originates from the Pyrenees Mountains in France where it was originally bred as a Livestock Guardian Dog. Left to their own devices out in pasture, they have learned to embrace their instinctive independent spirit to keep themselves and their flock safe.
Their passive nature makes them perfect around all of your livestock. This list can include cows, goats, sheep, pigs, horses, and in some cases, even poultry.
On the flip side, they can be very fierce Guard Dogs who will put themselves in harm's way if it means protecting it's livestock and family from any threat.
Pyrenees are incredibly cold-hardy with their double layered coat, they absolutely love the rain and snow, and are overall, an amazing addition to your family farm or homestead.
About Passion Pyrs
Our Values
Our company's name hits the nail right on the head for us:
We are passionate about Great Pyrenees!
No strangers to Large Breed dogs, we knew that being a family of 7 with an attraction to Homesteading made Pyrs an easy choice. This one-of-a-kind breed thrives under all circumstances, has an incredible work ethic, and overall deserves the happiest, healthiest life imaginable.
Passion Pyrs will do its utmost to improve the breed.
Happy, Healthy Bloodline
At Passion Pyrs, we strive, first and foremost, to be ethical breeders. This involves DNA, Genetic, and Breed Specific Health Testing. We also maintain working relationships with the families of our breeding pair to ensure the health of all past and future generations. Our dogs are well socialized and loved from Day 1, and although they are working dogs, they are irreplaceable family pets as well.
Our Breeding Pair
This is our first breeding pair who we have intuitively named
Lucius and Narcissa.
If you couldn't already tell, we are a bit of a nerdy family, to say the least. All of our family pets are, indeed, named after Harry Potter characters.
We look forward to growing our family, and yours, in the near future.
More information about them below.

Narcissa
Lucius is our 100lb, purebred, male, Great Pyrenees.
And yes, at only 13 months, he is still considered a puppy. Even though he looks like a fully grown dog, he won't completely act like one for another 2 years or so.
His current job on our property is "Family Guardian Dog" (read more about that here). Although he was raised around livestock, he thrives best when he is with his family. He is extremely loving, loyal, obedient, gentle and yet, fiercely protective. His strong connection to our family makes him one you would not want to end up in an altercation with.
These characteristics are the reason he thrives as a
"Family Guardian Dog".
Narcissa
Narcissa
Narcissa
Narcissa is 100% Great Pyrenees and our newest addition.
At just 4 months old, she is in the thick of job and obedience training as well as well-rounded dog, human, and livestock socialization.
This being said, her future job on our farm will be the traditional "Livestock Guardian Dog". Narcissa is incredibly sweet, happy-go-lucky, intelligent and outgoing. Her and I have an intensely close bond that allows her to be independent most times, but obedient when needed. Narcissa picks up on routines, commands, and good manners with enthusiasm while also maintaining that typical Great Pyrenees sass.
These characteristics are the reason she will thrive as a
"Livestock Guardian Dog".
