Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration. But… wow! A 65 pound fully adult Great Pyrenees. How does that even happen? Even for females, the smallest the breed standard calls for is 25 inches at the shoulder, and approximately 85 pounds.
To put this in perspective, this pup is significantly smaller than Autumn’s family’s (also female) golden retriever.
Ella’s mom asked me to add something to my post:
I ran into you yesterday near Mission Creek and you took a pic of my Great Pyrenees Ella. I got your card and checked out your blog – very fun!
If you end up posting her pic and want to tell people where they can get their own lovable Great Pyrenees… we got her two months ago from Sierra Pacific Great Pyrenees Rescue in Sacramento: http://spgpc.com/
So there you have it: rescue a Great Pyrenees today! Or, if you’d prefer an even tinier white foofly happy dog, I hear the American Eskimo from a few days ago might still be up for adoption…
Another clearly happy pup. Over thirty pictures, and not one of them did not contain a doggie smile.
I grabbed these pictures at about 8:30 in the morning on the way to work.
Ella drooled all over my pants. I didn't mind. (Although I did spend five minutes cleaning them off afterward.)
How's that for a 100% natural antidepressant?
“Teacup” Pyr — hmmm, that’s someone who really enjoys their tea right there.
I do feel like I’ve been seeing more of these guys around lately. Maybe they were always around, and I’ve just started noticing. Anyway, it’s nice to know that there’s such a supportive local breed rescue for them.
My first Pyr, a female, topped out at about 72 pounds. Good weight – vet encouraged us to keep her trim for her health – and she was active and puppy-like her whole, long life. Not long enough – I still miss her.
Fletch and Zoe also came from SPGC. That rescue is AWESOME.
