Balou

*ADOPTED*

Balou is going to do what Pyrs are meant to do. He has gone to a farm to relieve a dog who is being retired. His livestock is Alpacas. Congratulations to his new family and to Balou.

D.O.B - 25. February 2021

To be adopted as a Working Livestock Guardian Dog to Pyr-experienced livestock people only.

Sweet Balou, Great Pyrenees, came to us after being in the wrong home. It is important to work with your puppy right from the time he gets home. This must be done a positive manner so you work with your dog as a partner, and you are the lead. And, remember, this breed is not the breed for most people.

He is now with our trainer who has gotten him off the medications he was on, and he is doing so much better. This boy is becoming the dog he should be.

He will go to a home who has experience with this breed, and knows how to integrate a dog as a livestock dog.

He is good with people, other dogs, and cats.

If you have the experience with working dogs, and would like to meet Balou, please fill out our adoption application. Adoption Form

Adoption contribution is $400.
