I just wanted to say how much I enjoy the Snowbear site!
I have 3 Pyrs of my own (one rescue, one poorly bred, & one properly bred with an awesome pedigree Golden Boy!) & the breed is my passion!
I really enjoy the historical Great Pyrenees pics & info.!
Thanks!

I contacted you about one year ago for information about buying a puppy in my area. You were extremely helpful.
Marley (I bought him on Christmas eve and his dad's name was Ghost--hence the name, Marley), is all that you promised and more. I love him dearly and he is a loyal, devoted "puppy" at 100 lbs.
Thanks for all your help and best reguards to you in the new year!

A wonderful site!! I orginally searched Prys looking for "Limberlost" The tribute to Quibbletown is remarkable.I was hoping for a picture of Val's Heritage to bring back old memories from when i was in the "dog game" so will keep searching. Amazingly enough(in my eyes at least)I still know how to pick them :) from the first picture to the last update "Edie" was my choice, quite nice to see she is already a champion at a tender age.
Keep doing what you are doing IT WORKS.

Have loved browsing your site - especially the Quibbletown info and photos in that the Smiths were wonderful personal friends. I have a couple of Pyr items that I am getting ready to list on EBay...an original signed copy of the Mary Crane ook and a beautiful acrylic on embossed leather painting of my dog Ch. Barqueill Happy Holliday (Title Holder Book 78-5) who was, of course, of Quibbletown blood lines. Didn't know if you might be interested.

Would just like to say how much we enjoyed your site. Beautiful dogs! We just happened upon it after doing a search for this breed. We raise goats and use these dogs for our herd guardians. Our male is 1/2 Pry. and 1/2 ack bash and today we rescued a female from the auction barn who is 7/8 Pry. and 1/8 Anatolian. We love the Pry. personality, they are the most personable with the goats and we hope one day to add a fullblood to our herd of well spoiled, well loved partners of our goat ranch. Without these noble creatures we would not be able to keep our beloved goats from harms way.

Hello, Just surfing around about Pyr's and found your site. Having much fun looking around it also. Our family will be blessed in 3 weeks with our first pup and we have named her Saphron. She is all white except for saffaron colored tips on her ears.
Anyway, we want to make sure we give her the best home possible. We have 2/3 acre yard for her to play in and a 2300 sq ft home with open floor plan for her to live in with us. She will be a house dog.
Thanks for all the great information and wonderful pictures.

You have a wonderful and full of important information.
I was looking for you because an old friend of mine
is looking for a well bred puppy.
I know the pup is not for breeding. They show horses.
I think they will need some education about the breed.
They have a farm. You will have to decide how you feel
about. Her name is Lucy Froeming.
I hope all of you are well.

Do you breed or do you know of any breeders in this area? We have been looking for 2 years now without much luck. Your site is the closest we've come to anything remotely local. Can you help us out or anyone else out there? We want quality dogs, willing to pay a good price for good pups. We want to buy from two different breeders. Prefer papers, not required. Prefer all white or buff colored dogs but, not required. If anyone out there can help us, we'd love to hear from you!

We are located in Shelby, NC and have a small south african goat herd. We ude our Pyrennees as protectors of the herd. They are very majestic and proud and perform their job to perfection. Very rarely have I seen an animal that is a working stock dog that has the ability to interact as such a companion as the Pyrenees. They are part of our family. I have been breeding them four about two years now and so far every puppy has found a loving home and I have had some great success stories from people who have come to love the breed as I do.

Your website came up when I was researching Crane history. I am the neice of Francis and Mary Crane and wanted to find out more about Mary Crane. I believe she was also a dog show judge in Madison Square Garden but have not yet found all I need. My mother, Sally Crane Dane brought over one of the first Great Pyrenees from France when she was returning from a year-long stay there in 1931. Since I was brought up in California and Uncle Frannie and Aunt Mary lived in the East, I saw little of them. I would like to find out more...

I was privileged to share the life of a Quibletown dog. I always refer to him as my firstborn & my son considered him his older brother. Not sure how many Quibbletown dogs had this characteristic, but his pupils had a star pattern, which I found enchanting. Edith Smith was a great help in answering my neophyte puppy-owner questions.
When I retire, a rescue Pyr is in my future.

Your website is great! I spent some time drying my eyes looking at the photo gallery as I am a Pyr owner. I have Jo-Jo who was 10 in April and it's been almost a year since I lost Buddy. They are my heart and soul. Buddy developed a condition that enlarged his heart and had to be put down in my arms. How ironic that a dog with a heart of gold could go because his heart was too big. I miss him every day and treasure every moment that I have with Jo-Jo and hope someday I have the courage to have another Pyr but the heartbreak can sometimes be to hard to handle. There is no greater love than the unconditional love of your Pyr.

I have a question for other pyr owners out there. I have a male he is one year old and he is such a lover, however its so odd because we have a two and half lots that are completely fenced for them to run and get plenty of exercise. Rueben does not like people putting their hands over the fence, however if they come thru the back patio door or garage door its fine with him as long as they are with either my husband or myself. He is very smart and responds to commands. Sit, speak, shake...etc. so smart that he opens electric garage door openers. But do any of the rest of you have one that is over the top with being protective? I guess he must think of us as his herd:)

My husband, John, and I raise alpacas. We have some friends that just purchased two female great pyrenees with intentions of breeding. However, the two together seem to get into too much mischief. Tearing up gardens, killed some roosters, etc. Therefore, they are wanting to 'give' us one as they know she would be an awesome livestock dog. We are thinking about it but not sure we are ready to take on another project. But we are willing to go meet her and try not to fall in love and take just because she is too cute. Have another alpaca farm that has 4 great pyrenees and informed us they did not even 'train' any of them. Just put in pasture and let instinct take over. However, we do have an indoor dog she would need to get a long with. We want to leave indoor dog in pasture should we go away for long weekend but not sure we could do with great pyrenee. THanks for having useful website.

I have a Beautiful Great Pyreneese named Zeke. He guards all my stock including the ducks and chickens. He is gentle but firm when managing my Pygmey Goats. He even chases hawks away from the baby chicks. He was given to me by a friend because she was unable to keep him. I need another Pyre. for my son. He has a 20 acre pasture and has Pygmey goats and cattle. The coyotes killed 2 of his babies last nite and the entire family is upset. I need to find a breeder in or around Ocala Fl.

HE IS MY BABY. I WAS NEVER A DOG PERSON. MORE OF A CAT LOVER. BUT WHEN I FIRST SAW TOBY, IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. HE WAS MEANT FOR ME. THEY WERE ABOUT TO PUT HIM DOWN AND MY HEART FELL APART WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS, I GOT HIM FROM A SHELTER. I BELIEVE THE OWNER MUST HAVE LOST HIME, BECAUSE WHO WOULD GIVE UP A GORGEOUS, LOVING DOG AS THIS ONE. NOW I'M LOOKING FOR HISTORY ON HIS TYPE OF DOG AND ANYTHING INFORMATIVE ABOUT THE GREAT PYR.

Hello! Thank you very much for the pleasure of viewing your beautiful site. We have just obtained our baby Baron. Our first Pyrenees. He is four months old. So far it has been a pleasure. We are on-line researching the best way to train this breed.
Again, thank you for an enjoyable visit. Linda

I have just aquired two beautiful male pups from Painted Hand Farm in Newburg, PA. The sire is ElJefe and the dam is Dora. I believe there is Snowbear in their lineage. I also have a male from Galesway in NJ who is nine years old and I can recall Gale Armstrong talking highly about Quibbletown and Snowbear. My Pyrs are strictly utilized for pet therapy visits to nursing homes, children's hospitals and acute care facilities where they do a remarkable job. People are always asking about their lineage and I would be proud to let them know if, in fact, Snowbear is "stitched" in their genes!

I enjoyed your site and the information it supplied. I enjoyed seeing the growth of the pups. A couple of days ago we just extended our family with 2 sister pups where the mother is a pure white Pyrenees (no markings) and the father is mix, Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd. These 2 are adapting to living in a house nicely. They are playful, curious, calm and very sweet and gentle. Our last pet died at 17 yrs old (Shepherd/Newfoundland) and we hope we are lucky ennough to have these 2 for just as long.

Love Pyrs - have a male (Hercules), aptly named after his strength. College prof here, and thinking about a female and the occasional litter. Used to raise collies (long time ago) and loved placing quality dogs with the right families. Is there any guide for the person who isn't wanting to be a "breeder" but rather to occasionally have puppies to place?

Boy, am I glad I stumbled on your site!! We just figured out what kind of puppy adopted US (!) a few weeks ago. We live out in a rural area in central CA, and here in the midst of a rainstorm comes "Zio", our till now, mystery baby. She is just getting her big dog teeth in, so she is still little. There has been no success in locating her original owners, so it looks like she's here to stay. I feel agreat sense of relief knowing, WITHOUT A DOUBT, her breed. I did this with the help of your site! beautifully done, by the way. Thanks!!

I have a female (neutered) pyr. she is wonderful, as they all are, but her companion of 7 years just died and she is very lonely. I work all day and get home late evening, she is just so sad that even though I love her, she needs to more love and attention then I can give her. She is great with other dogs, kids, and loves to run in open fields, her pen is about an acre so she has room, but needs more human contact or other dogs, since she has lived all her life with a male companion, If anyone can provide her with a warm loving home please contact me.

I just rescued a Great Pyr - and I placed him in a good home. I didn't realize how much I loved him. I wish I would have kept him. As I thought more about it, I realized that one of the reasons I didn't keep him is that after I found him, I began to get advice from various Pyr rescue organizations. They told me that these dogs tend to be very dog aggressive and often hurt other dogs. They also told me that they tend to be very land aggressive and will hurt other animals and even children if they come into their territory without the animal knowing them. Thus, I became frightened and gave the dog to a company who had three fenced in acres and needed a guard dog - although the dog will get a lot of family attention as well. I researched the breed extensively, and I know where I placed him is good for his personality. Now, I find myself wanting him back, although that is impossible. Thus, I want to adopt one for myself if they are all as sweet as he was. Are they all as sweet as he was? He was truly the sweetest dog I have ever met, and I've met a lot of dogs cuz I've run rescues before. He was the first Pyr I ever got in though. Those of you out there who have other pyrs, what has been your experience with dog aggression and territory aggression. I want to buy one now for me as I imagine it'll be a long time before one of these is available through the rescue again - I can't imagine many people getting rid of them once they know them if they are all like this. Before I purchase though, I want to get some more advice from other Pyr owners as to how big of a deal this dog aggression and territory aggression really is. I really want one of these dogs, but I want it to be the best situation for the dog and my family both. Thanks so much,

The site is beautiful as are all the puppies. I owned 2 gorgeous Great Pyrenees named "Bear" and "Missy". We rescued them from the pound in 1992, and had Missy until 1997, and Bear passed on in 2002. I miss both of them everyday, and enjoy the different sites and pictures. I hope to rescue or perhaps get a puppy soon. Thanks and keep it up!!

Thank you, for your wonderful site. It brought tears to my eyes. My neighbor had a solid white pyrenees. I went to her house to rescue her from a snake that she was totally freeked out over ( maybe 3-4 inches long) at which time I sat my baby down on the ground next to me.Corbin was 12 mo., just walking. This lady was notorious for bring home stray animals. She had brought home a pit bull that she had found down in the bottom lands and this dog started after my son, her great pyrenees stepped in the middle and he backed the pit bull down. At which time he opened his mouth and took my son by his arm and led him away from the pit bull. These dogs will always have a place in my heart. Needless to say the pit bull was gone that day.
Thank you for the wonderful pictures and memories. June

I have a Pyr sired by Ch Snowbear Wolfman to Galen/s Candice Beargen. I've had him for over 5 years, he is my therapy dog. Your "Robbie" was his "frozen pop." While he is not show quality, he is still the most wonderful dog I've ever had. He gives me balance, will pull me up a steep grade, and will even let me climb up him if I fall. These dogs have an amazing temperment, and instinctively love their owners and frequent visitors. My "Sante's Infernal Pyr" Is now lord and master of my 8 week old granddaughter. You need his permission to get close to the baby when she's here. Is Robbie's frozen talent still used? Santè is a Godsend to me.

I am a new Pyrenees admirer and I found your website and I hope to have a Great Pyrenees myself someday. You should be very proud of those gorgeous dogs. Thank you for sharing your photos.

we are searching for a Large Female pup for our 36 yr old son ... I don't know who is a reputable breeder. We are not looking for a show dog but rather a wonderful family pet. My son loves the larger Pyrs (he's 6'3"). Do you have any suggestions. We heard of a woman in Canada, Donna Jensen, who has wonderful Pyrs but we don't know how to locate her.

My dog of 14 years got hit by a car in April 04. Klondike (as I call him) showed up in the pouring rain, searching for food, around June.It took a while before he let me touch him, but now we are both stuck with each other.I noticed he had 7 toes on each back paw, and took it as a sign because my 2nd daughter was born with 7 toes on each foot.Later I found out that was normal.(Dew Claw?)Currently searching for his owner, although it would break my heart. thanks,

Your wonderful web site brought back so many memories. As youngsters the family pet was a Great Pyrenees named Bonnie. She was of the Quibbletown lines and I believe some of the dogs on your site may be her ancestors. A Pyrenees would be too big for my family today, but what a wonderful breed of dog! Andy

My first Great Pyrenees came to me when I was a college student. I believe she was of the Quibbleton line. She adapted herself through many moves including moving to Brooklyn from New Hampshire, my marriage and the addition of 3 children during her life time. She took her role as Nana serioudly. My oldest remember her and are glad to have another Pyr in the family.

Your website has always been a wonderful place to visit, I love my Pyre's, and yours are magnificent. My question would be,....do all of these people that come in here and clutter your sight with all this spam actually think that any of us that come here to talk about our Pyres, or to read about everyone elses, would ever patronise any of these sights that are being shoved down our throats!? I personally think that anyone that posts to this guestbook without actually posting about Great Pyrenees is lower than a low life.
I know that something must be going on with the webmaster for this sight, because this kind of stuff was always deleted in the past. I hope that whatever the problem is, that you will be back soon, and all is well with you and yours.

Hi,we just adopted an 11 month old male pyr and we belive that he was abused by his previous owner.When i went to pick him up he was chained up with a peice of cloths line.As i walked up to him he coward down and did his best to try and get away.With alot of sweet talking and patience i finally got him to trust me enough to let me pet him.The owner told me that he's always been that way even as a puppy.He told me that he originaly bought him to protect his goats but that he wanted to play with them instead.So he basicly tied him up and thats were he stayed.I'am happy to say that after about an hour of talking to him very calmly and nicely he is now sleeping next to me while i e-mail this to you.The reason i'am writing you i would like your adivce on how to bring him out of his shell and also he really needs to put on some wieght he is basicly skin and bones.I can't belive anyone could treat such a beautiful animal this.So i would really appricate any advice that you could give me i would really love it.
