Breed Profile

The Golden Pyrenees is a large designer dog breed that is a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Great Pyrenees.

Behavior

Golden Pyrenees are known for their loyal, intelligent, and gentle nature. They are friendly dogs that love spending time with their family and are known to be great with children. They are also protective of their family and make excellent guard dogs. These dogs are typically calm and patient, but they may become stubborn if they are not properly trained and socialized.

Coat

Golden Pyrenees have a thick, double coat that is soft and fluffy. The coat can range in color from white to cream, and some dogs may have golden or tan markings on their fur. The undercoat is dense and wooly, while the outer coat is longer and wavy or straight. Their coat is weather-resistant and helps protect them from harsh climates. Due to their thick coat, Golden Pyrenees need regular grooming to prevent matting and tangles. They also shed moderately throughout the year and may shed more heavily during seasonal changes.

Lifestyle

Golden Pyrenees require an active lifestyle that includes regular exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization. They are large dogs that need plenty of space to move around, so a house with a fenced yard is ideal for them.

Activity

Golden Pyrenees are also active dogs that require regular exercise to keep them healthy and happy. They enjoy long walks, hikes, and playing in open spaces. They also enjoy mental stimulation, such as puzzle toys and obedience training. If they are not provided with enough exercise and mental stimulation, they may become bored and may exhibit destructive behavior.
