Tips on Grooming Your Great Pyrenees

    Moderate Maintenance: Grooming should be performed regularly to keep its fur in good shape. Occasional trimming or stripping needed.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Great Pyrenees Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential part of everyday pet care. Combing assists to keep your Great Pyrenees dog's coat in good condition by taking out loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also assists to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a shiny coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to decrease the need to bath and therefore decrease the occurrence of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Great Pyrenees dog are activities that help to reinforce the positive relationship bond between your family pet and you. Brushing should be a pleasurable and comfortable experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Great Pyrenees

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend on each individual dog. Dogs tend to contrast in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats frequently require less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more easily.

    Some very short-haired dogs may not need standard 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to gently remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should keep an eye on the condition of their dog's coat, trying to find any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a couple of minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Great Pyrenees Information

Elegant, imposing and majestic, the Great Pyrenees is a large dog of medium substance that is slightly longer than tall. Its thick coat gives the impression of heavier bone and stature. This breed was developed to guard flocks on steep mountain slopes and so must combine strength with agility. It moves smoothly, with good reach and drive. Its weather-resistant double coat consists of a dense, wooly undercoat and a long, flat, coarse outer coat, imparting great insulation from the Pyrenean cold. Its expression is elegant and contemplative.

The Great Pyrenees is a capable and imposing guardian, devoted to its family and somewhat wary of strangers — human or canine. When not provoked, it is calm, well-mannered and somewhat serious. It is very gentle with its family and children. It has an independent, somewhat stubborn, nature and may try to dominate a less secure owner. Some are not good off leash and may wander away. The Great Pyrenees tends to bark a lot.
