For the love of the Pyrenean Mountain Dog

Our kennel Great Pyrenees is located in Lower Normandy, in the Calvados region, just a few kilometers from "Omaha Beach", where the Allies set foot on the ground during the War.

The arrival of our first patoune Laïka in 2003, has fueled our passion for this wonderful breed of shepherd dogs. On this website you will find the point of view of a professional breeder who is passionate about the Pyrenean Mountain Dog

Besides our advices on the education and care of Patous, you can also consult our FAQ (only available in French). We believe as breeder that it is our duty to share you our experience.

The Pyrenean Mountain Dog is a fantastic dog but certainly not easy. It is a dog with a strong personality and therefore we invite you to explore our site to find out whether this breed suits you.

Perhaps you will also fall for his charm.

We wish you a pleasant visit.

About us

Our kennel

Our kennel is limited to producing, educating and socializing maximum one litter of Great Pyrenees per year.

Our Patous live therefore in perfect harmony in our home and not in kennels.

It is not our intention to degrade this wonderful breed to a fashion phenomenon. If we would sell Patous on a large scale, this breed could end up with humans and / or by places where the Pyrenean Mountain Dog does not belong.

As passionate lover of this breed, we first try to preserve and improve the quality.

The regular attendance to dog shows allows us to evaluate the quality of our dogs and to choose the future stallions. {wbamp-hide start}The list below show the latest results of our Pyrs.{wbamp-hide end} Feel free to consult also the full list.
