And here is Big Charlie with some of his latest work. That WAS a half-roll of toilet paper. He's pretty good about NOT chewing things up but God help me if he gets a sock, towel, or any rolled-up type of paper or a box.
OMG. That's beyond enormous. He's a cutie-pie though.
I'm no longer trying a new posting paradigm

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

Nah, Dwest is correct... He's a Great Pyranees. I had him shaved down a couple of weeks ago because he was burning up already. They actually took 5 POUNDS of hair off him. I weighed him before and after.Brewster wrote:Hi Paul, is Big Charlie a yellow lab? He looks like it, except for the world's bushiest dog tail. I thought he was part fox.
Here's what he looked like a few months ago. He has grown since this pic but you can get the general idea...

Does he bark alot?
I had a near-death experience with a GP up in the mountains a few years ago. He thought I was messing with his sheep. It was all an unfortunate misunderstanding, but he seemed to take it rather personally...
Anyway. That's one pretty pup. I'm guessing burglary isn't a big concern for you.

Yeah, he barks a lot... They all do. I use a bark-control collar at night when he wants to stay outside. If I didn't he's go all night non-stop. It's the breed. They all do that.
I'm not that surprised to hear about your experience. Pyrs are VERY protective of their charges. Many people classify them as herders but they are really more guards as you experienced.
The other side of it is that they are mostly very gentle and sweet. They are also really good with children and make excellent family pets so long as you give them lots of attention and socialize them a lot from a young age.

Only in that they're both mastiff/guardian-type breeds from mountainous countries, and so probably have some ancestors in common. The Akbash is from Turkey. They can be as protective as a Pyr, though. They've also been used a little as service dogs.WyoBadger wrote:Are those related to great pyrenees? I've always been sort of intrigued by that breed.
Oh, I missed dwest's joke...little slow today.
