[QUOTE="fellersbarnoneranch, post: 69388, member: 120"] After our blue heeler was killed last Dec. we got 2 Great Pyrenees (brothers age 3+ and age 1) Long story short--we liked them so much that we rescued a surrendered male from the pound. He is in the middle age-wise. We still really like these dogs. They are independant thinkers and obey only for want of praise. Seems like when they have their own ideas--that's what they focus on. They bark at night to warn off "predators" if you are keeping one in a yard by the house--might think on that a little. We neutered all of ours (they will breed a coyote in heat). Ours are grown so I can't give any puppy advice except to form really good habits early on as they will grow into BIG DOGS! some are larger than others. The brothers we have are around 95lbs and I am guessing 24" at the shoulder. The rescue is BIG. I am going to say around 175lbs or so and stands a good 5-6" over the other 2 at the shoulder. Gentle as a lamb with children! I have been pleased with starting off with adults. Good fences make good neighbors with these dogs--they tend to wander aways.
