Gunner is our very special boy, he is our first Show Dog and our first Champion. He has one of the sweetest temperaments that one can expect from a Great Pyrenees as well as one of the finest Guardians we have come to know. He is my love and has been referred to being “mashed potatoes with too much cream” - he is with people just a “mush” which makes him a pleasure to be owned by! He is extremely tolerant of smaller animals (see thumbnails) and together with Murphy raised a very boisterous (putting it mildly) Ms Chatty! Many other females that would not get along with other dogs all get along with Gunner. Yet, if need be - Gunner will stand his ground - he is after all a Male Great Pyrenees!

He is of true Pyrenean type and has been featured in the RACP - French national magazine for Pyrenean Dogs (see “At The Shows”). Gunner as with all our pyrs comes from slow maturing lines and was shown on a limited basis where he attained his championship at age 3 ½ (with back to back majors at the Blue Grey Cluster - Harrisburg Shows).

Gunner holds the qualities in which one looks for in a Pyrenees. He is of excellent type; not heavily boned nor light boned, correct eye and expression, tight lips, wonderful pigment, correct working coat, correct movement, and to quote the well respected French Judge, Mr. Alain Pecoult, “a head without defect”. Gunner can also be seen around the country in various drawings used for Specialty Fund Raisers and Prints (limited editions, prints for clothing, garments, and National Specialty Throws).

It is our hope that Gunner will pass along his wonderful traits and will only be bred to a female that we feel he can contribute those fine qualities.   Stud Service is available to those females who have been health screened and OFA rated for hips and elbows.
