LGD Feature Friday - Pyrenean Mastiff Breed. The Pyrenean Mastiff is a large, powerful livestock guardian dog that originated in the Pyrenees of Spain, specifically in the Aragonese region. Historically used to protect flocks from wolves, bears, and human threats along transhumance routes, this breed is known for its combination of size, strength, and gentle temperament. Pyrenean Mastiffs are very large; males often weigh between 130 and 180+ pounds and stand 28 to 34 inches tall at the shoulder. Their coat is a thick, dense, medium-length double coat, usually white with well-defined darker patches such as badger, brindle, black, or gray. They possess a calm, stable, and confident temperament and are affectionate towards family and livestock. Naturally protective but not unnecessarily aggressive, they use their imposing presence as a deterrent. The breed exhibits a strong protective drive toward its flock and territory, characterized by loyalty and vigilance. They are attentive to potential predators but tend to deliberate rather than act rashly. They bond well with livestock and are known for their tolerance and patience. There is a national breed association based here in Texas!

We are fostering this sweet boy and about to start working on puppy training with him

Blue collar aka Theo is learning how to be a puppy and learning all about knowing how to settle inside the house. He is doing great with crate training and has been great with potty training. Still a mischevious 10 month old but learning not to counter surf 🤣 he is slowly learning leash manners and once he is good with that will start with simple commands for training the basics

These rescue PMs are currently fostering with us as we finish vetting etc! If you have been looking to add a PM but breeder prices are a little high for your budget then this may be a good opportunity for you and your family!

The older dogs are so sweet and would make excellent family dogs! The pups need some work but have great potential

We have the available rescue pups up on our website! Everyone is getting new names

Nemi has found her home ❤️

As I have been evaluating my breeding prospects and traits I want to advance for my next generation I decided I am going to place Nemesis aka Nemi (Estrella Polar's Persistent Fate) , not because she is a bad puppy but just because of goals for the next stage of my program
