Pyrenean Mountain Dog Club of Scotland

BEFORE PURCHASING A PYRENEAN MOUNTAIN DOG PUPPY PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING TEXT!

"AWW THAT PUPPY LOOKS CUTE"  

JUST BE AWARE THAT THE PUPPY GROWS UP FAST, TO A VERY STRONG LARGE DOG.   PYRENEAN PUPPIES TAKE A LOT OF FEEDING FOR THE FIRST EIGHT MONTHS OR SO, AND THEN THEY GET INTO A ROUTINE.   TO BE HONEST AN ADULT PYRENEAN DOES NOT EAT THAT MUCH!   THE AVERAGE COST OF FEEDING A PUPPY IS AROUND £22.50 A WEEK, THE AVERAGE COST OF AN ADULT IS AROUND £13.50 A WEEK! PUPPIES ARE EXPENSIVE STARTING FROM £750.00.   THIS IS FOR A KC REGISTERED ONE.   THERE ARE A FEW BREEDERS TO CHOOSE FROM, YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK AROUND OR VISIT OUR LINKS PAGE!

THE AVERAGE SIZE OF A LITTER IS 8+, AND THE AVERAGE LIFESPAN IS BETWEEN 9 - 14 YEARS.

IT IS A MUST TO TRAIN A PYRENEAN PUPPY QUICKLY AS THEY CAN HAVE A VERY STUBBORN STREAK, IF THE HANDLER IS NOT CONSISTANT AND FIRM.   ALSO EXCERSISING A PUPPY HAS TO BE KEPT TO SHORT WALKS, AND GENTLE PLAYTIMES, UNTIL THERE BONES FORM, THIS CAN TAKE UP TO 18 MONTHS.

THEY DO CAST, SOMETIMES, USUALLY ENOUGH TO FILL A PILLOWCASE, BUT WITH A BRUSH EACH DAY THIS KEEPS ANY CASTING DOWN TO A MINIMUM.

BUT EVEN WITH ALL THESE POINTS, A PYRENEAN IS ONE OF THE MOST PLACID DOGS YOU WILL EVER OWN.   THEY SHOW SO MUCH LOVE BACK.   REMEMBER THAT 9 STONE DOG TRIES TO BE A LAPDOG TOO!
