And he loves to get outside and run, But when in the house he is layed back and doesnt ruff house. My childern love him and Honestly I think you would make a great choice owning one.

He is the sweetest/smartest pup we have ever owned. He was easy to housebreak (two accidents, I think), very receptive to voice comands. He loves the water. He gets along/plays very well with my Blue Healers and Lab mix. He loves the cats. He is not the type of pup that runs to greet everyone, he sits there and waits for them to come to him. He does have grooming needs. I am very happy with our choice. We took several months in researching a new breed before we got another dog. Posted on 08/13/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Advice About Pyrenees/Bernese Mix By Stngray (143) Contact Those are working dogs and they need "mucho" exercise. It would be a good idea to get a springer bicycle leash attachment and let them trot alongside on the bicycle. My German Shep loves to do that. Of course, she needed to be trained to stop at corners and not chase other dogs, etc. Or maybe you could get agility equipment for your backyard if you have enough room. If you have a jogger in your family, that's an excellent way to exercise your dog. They love to do things with their folks. To have a good dog - exercise, exercise, exercise, healthy food and fresh water. Good luck!

She is one our favorite dogs we have ever owned. She is about 120 pounds, but the gentlest dog with our 2 grandchildren who are 2 and 4 years old. She is one beautiful dog and people always ask us what breed she it. She is a great watch dog, also. She barks to let us know if someone or something is on our property, but then loves them to death. She is best friends with our ups guy. She even goes in the truck with him until he starts it up and then she gets down and he pets her on her way out. She just wants you love her and will do anything to please you. The only drawback is she is a digger. She is a whole lot better now and I think she has outgrown it now, but it drove my husband crazy for awhile! Anyway, we highly reccommend owning this mix if you are looking for a great watchdog who is a gentle giant.

She had them both for 10 years until they each died of stomach cancer. Overall, they are very nice dogs with kids and their tempers aren't bad at all. Good luck with them, if you would like more information...send me an email at bcdd4ofus AT yahoo.com and I will get you connected with my sister. She knows all about these dogs. Posted on 07/03/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Advice About Pyrenees/Bernese Mix By LynnC (Guest Post) With any dog it's really important to remember that no dog is ever born "good with kids" but that the owner is responsible from day 1 to teach and train. Children should not be exposed to two dogs who play will play and "be dogs" without adult supervision at all times. If your first dog is well trained and develops a good relationship with your new dog you have a head start since puppies do learn from the resident dog. If your first dog is not well trained it's time to get to dog class. Only after your first dog does well and understands boundaries concerning children should you consider another dog you will then also have to train. Hope this helps. BIG DOGS can hurt children by accident. It's your job as the parent to be sure the dogs do not share the same play space as children for best safety. BIG DOGS and children have been a 30 yr adventure for me with six children and St.Bernards, etc. I promise you that no dog can learn without being taught correctly.

I am the proud owner of two Great Pyrs. They are not easy dogs. They require a fenced yard, they bark and they require daily brushing. I would assume that rule would apply to any cross breed.
