Pyrs guard sheep on snowy mountains and, per the AKC, usually have a Zen-like calm. A kennel suits that calm.
A calm guardian in First Class
With males at 100 pounds and up, a Great Pyrenees fits First Class, 6x8 ft, $72 a night on the 2026 rates. A smaller female may fit Business Class at $59.
Coat and baths
The AKC calls the coat lush, weatherproof and white, and lists a double coat with seasonal shedding. On the bath chart effective January 1, 2024, the double coated column is $75 at 76 to 100 pounds and $85 over 100. Please ask to confirm.
Mellow, vigilant and patient
The AKC calls Pyrs mellow companions and vigilant guardians. They usually exhibit a Zen-like calm, but they can spring into action quickly. At a kennel that means a dog who will watch the fence line. A quiet hand-off at check-in works well.
Heat, cold and the run
A coat built for snowy mountaintops is a lot for a valley summer. The AKC calls the coat weatherproof, not cooling. The indoor air-conditioned side is the right spot for a Pyr on a hot day, with outside time in the cooler hours.
Quiet check-in for a calm guardian
The AKC says Pyrs usually show a Zen-like calm but can spring into action. A calm hand-off works well. Staff walk your dog in from the car.
