Summary
About Great Pyrenees
Large, calm livestock guardian from the Pyrenees, the Great Pyrenees is a powerful white, heavy‑shedding dog with a thick coat and double dewclaws. Gentle yet strongly protective, it needs secure fencing, steady socialization, mental stimulation, and experienced, patient handling.
About Stabyhoun
The Stabyhoun is a rare Dutch farm and gundog: medium‑sized, athletic, with a silky feathered coat that sheds seasonally. Gentle, sensitive and people‑oriented, it suits active families, needs daily physical and mental work, and is generally healthy when responsibly bred.
