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 Tibetan Spaniel
Small but sturdy Tibetan companion dog, about 9–15 lb, with a silky double coat, mane-like ruff, and plumed tail. Alert yet not yappy when trained, cat-like in independence, deeply attached to family, good with respectful children, adaptable to city or country with moderate exercise and grooming.
