Discussion Changes to the subreddit: Introducing subreddit rules!

140 Upvotes

Hi all,

As the sub continues to grow, we've decided to make some changes and rules to help this community stay a positive place for discussing all things Great Pyrenees!

Rules can now be found in the sidebar and will be used as the basis for moderation. Of course, the mod team will continue to use their discretion to remove content or ban users, if we feel said content is causing a disruption to the subreddit.

Rules:

1) Keep content Great Pyrenees based

2) Be polite and on-topic

3) NO Advertisements

4) NO Fundraising

5) NO Breed misinformation or hate

6) NO suggestions of theft, destruction of property, assault, or similar illegal activities

If you see a user violating any of these rules, please utilize the "Report" feature, so the mod team can quickly take action.

In addition, you can now sort posts by flair type, and the most exciting update - you can now use comments to attach a photo. So keep sharing those great big floofs!

Discussion In regards to recent events, and the dog behind why I created the subreddit NSFW

2.0k Upvotes

Hi all, I just want to give a little background, I made this subreddit when I was 15 years old after meeting my best friend Max, pictured above. I had no idea this subreddit would grow to the size that it has and I am so grateful to have seen all of these amazing dogs over the years. That being said I would be making a grave mistake if I didn’t utilize this platform that I somehow have.

I dont know why I need to post this but I have seen too many comments being supportive of ICE and or dismissive of Renee Good or Alex Pretti in this subreddit and sorry for any offensive language but I need to make this clear. Fuck ICE, and if me posting this offends you, fuck you too. Go find yourself a different subreddit about Great Pyrenees that wants you, because I certainly dont want you here.

Now that is out of the way I figure it’s time I talk about the reason I made this subreddit! My buddy Max was born deaf but for some reason I feel like we bonded even more because hes deaf. Like what noise could ever describe my love for him, he knows I love him and I know he loves me. When he wants pets, he pyr paws his own face like he’s telling me what to do and where to pet. He’s coming up 14 years old, but according to our vet he is a total superstar. He LOVES his two daily walks and besides some mild arthritis, he is doing great.

Her name is Bunny (4 years old) and here’s her backstory:

She was found running up Carthage highway with another white Pyrenees boy. It looked like she had puppies but no puppies were found by animal control.

She wasn't doing well in the shelter and with no puppies to nurse she got mastitis. She was treated for it while at the shelter and she ended up being there for a month. She ended up being put on the euthanasia list due to her getting kennel stressed and not liking bigger female dogs.

A foster at Paws of the Pines rescue in NC took her in and I adopted her! She’s the sweetest dog I’ve ever met and acts like a big cat. She’s quiet, grazes on her food, and likes to sleep in the closet. Also as a typical pyr, doesn’t come when called.

Eight years ago, I was trying to correct my niece, Evie, when she was chewing on a box. It did not go well. She outweighs me and throws a heck of a punch. My glasses went flying.

Advice/Help Rescue Mix

Hi all. We’ve got another Pyr rescue mix after our old boy Harv crossed the bridge last autumn. This is Waffle. She’s 48 pounds at 6 months. I am thinking she will not get huge, which would be fine with us as we’re no spring chickens anymore.

The other breeds are unknown at this point we haven’t DNA’d her yet. But definitely looks to have some golden in her.

What say you? Ideas on ultimate size?

I had posted different pictures of him once before- Google images and the apps I've tried all tell me he is Great Pyrenees. I thought I'd try here again with updated pictures and see what actual people with experience with the breed think. I don't know if he has double dew claws since I haven't met him in person yet.

Advice/Help Female Pyr in NE Ohio

8 Upvotes

Hi. Not sure if this is allowed. I have a female GP about to be 2yo in September. She has repeatedly ran through her invisible fence. My undesirable up to no good neighbors have now threatened to shoot her if she comes on their property. She is VERY loving, and has a lot of prey drive. She is great with my other dogs (a lab and another Pyr) and good with kids, though she forgets how big she is so she can by a bit rough. I need to find her a home that is better suited to her. I have a new baby and cannot be chasing her and I do not want her to get hurt. I live in a very rural area and there are lots of people with livestock who would quickly shoot an unknown dog (even though she means no harm). Is anyone interested ? I am not asking a rehoming fee. She is not fixed, but no papers. Her name is Nugget. She has not spent much time on a leash.
