Discussion Changes to the subreddit: Introducing subreddit rules!

147 Upvotes

Hi all,

As the sub continues to grow, we've decided to make some changes and rules to help this community stay a positive place for discussing all things Great Pyrenees!

Rules can now be found in the sidebar and will be used as the basis for moderation. Of course, the mod team will continue to use their discretion to remove content or ban users, if we feel said content is causing a disruption to the subreddit.

Rules:

1) Keep content Great Pyrenees based

2) Be polite and on-topic

3) NO Advertisements

4) NO Fundraising

5) NO Breed misinformation or hate

6) NO suggestions of theft, destruction of property, assault, or similar illegal activities

If you see a user violating any of these rules, please utilize the "Report" feature, so the mod team can quickly take action.

In addition, you can now sort posts by flair type, and the most exciting update - you can now use comments to attach a photo. So keep sharing those great big floofs!

Discussion In regards to recent events, and the dog behind why I created the subreddit NSFW

Post image
2.0k Upvotes

Hi all, I just want to give a little background, I made this subreddit when I was 15 years old after meeting my best friend Max, pictured above. I had no idea this subreddit would grow to the size that it has and I am so grateful to have seen all of these amazing dogs over the years. That being said I would be making a grave mistake if I didn’t utilize this platform that I somehow have.

I dont know why I need to post this but I have seen too many comments being supportive of ICE and or dismissive of Renee Good or Alex Pretti in this subreddit and sorry for any offensive language but I need to make this clear. Fuck ICE, and if me posting this offends you, fuck you too. Go find yourself a different subreddit about Great Pyrenees that wants you, because I certainly dont want you here.

Now that is out of the way I figure it’s time I talk about the reason I made this subreddit! My buddy Max was born deaf but for some reason I feel like we bonded even more because hes deaf. Like what noise could ever describe my love for him, he knows I love him and I know he loves me. When he wants pets, he pyr paws his own face like he’s telling me what to do and where to pet. He’s coming up 14 years old, but according to our vet he is a total superstar. He LOVES his two daily walks and besides some mild arthritis, he is doing great.

We adopted Wilson (8) this past weekend from LaMancha Animal Rescue in Unionville, PA.
He had been a stray in Louisiana. He is settling in well and his calm Pyr presence is a delight. ❤️

Had to show off my Beanie Girl! She’s so patient whenever I groom her, but she will punish me for the following 24hrs. By punish, I mean refusing to accept her dental treat. The drama. The horror.

Advice/Help thoughts on native pet?!

Post image
34 Upvotes

Howdy! Thinking of adding supplements to my baby’s diet. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with Native Pet.. I get ads all the time! Plus they seem to have many options for coat, joint, and digestive aid.

I started him on their omega oil and he seems to tolerate it. However, I am wary of long term results. He is tall and 4yo so I want to do my best to prevent arthritis and hip dysplasia as he nears senior age. I am open to any diet or supplement advice. Please and thank you!!

Advice/Help Does anyone run with their pyr?

14 Upvotes

Hello y’all! The vet told me to wait until my pyr was at least 18 months before starting to bring her on runs. Now she is nearly 2 years, but based on her personality and activity level… I do NOT anticipate her enjoying going on jogs. I usually go 2-4 miles and those are the runs I would love to bring her on. For my own safety and for her stimulation and exercise. I know there is a running with dogs sub - I just want to see if any pyr owners specifically have had success! Thanks

Discussion Anyone else's pyr get super zoomies when they come across the perfect digging dirt?

Post image
39 Upvotes

Our girl will be walking fine and then she'll come across a patch of dirt, especially a day or two after it's rained, that triggers her to start digging. She'll dig ferociously for a couple seconds and then get hyper zoomies, spinning around, jumping, rolling; that kinda thing. We think she's just so excited about finding the perfect digging texture and temperature and it just overexcites her lol

Anyone else's pyr do this? Our girl is a shelter pup pyr/lab mix

best part of my day (every day) is snuggling these goofy guys 🥲 they’re very much enjoying the weather cooling off in our area, and they’ll soon be out frolicking in the snow! Bear (the whiter one) has been with us for about 4 months now, and he’s definitely my soul dog (which is crazy for me to say, as a life-long cat person). they love playing in the middle of the living room and bonking into furniture, cuddling me and my husband, and barking at the wind!

Advice/Help Standing and side eye

Anyone else’s dog just randomly stand around and stare at a wall, or randomly come up and stare at you. She also plays for a second and then will lose interest. I feel kinda silly writing this out but it’s kinda bizarre behavior she’s done it since she was a pup.

Bear and Moose double trouble. They may be a pain in the neck but they are my pain in the neck. I love watching them figure out the world. Even if it's a little clumsy.
