Know the Breed
About Livestock Guardian Dogs
Our Great Pyrenees puppies are used to being around our Boer Goats & our rabbits. This breed's natural guarding capabilities are so ingrained though, it doesn't take too much to get the guardian instincts going....as it should be, it is an ability born within. A Great Pyrenees is built to watch over livestock and will be much less prone to wandering if they have a job to keep them grounded. Fencing is important as well. Minimum 4 ft. fencing, and depending on the dog, you may or may not need barbed wire. Try not to be intimidated...because... the security to your home, family, livestock & food that guardian dogs add is 1000% worth it!
Onward Acres Great Pyrenees Are Raised To Be Family Farm Guardians:
Our Pyrenees have sound athletic structure, a lot of coat and they have heavy bone. They are not house dogs. They are outside working dogs, and they are built to endure the elements. This breed is hands down the most valuable family & livestock guardian dog in the world. Unlike other livestock guardian breeds, Great Pyrenees do not have the aggressive nature that makes some of the other livestock guardian breeds of dogs untrustworthy around children. A Great Pyrenees's stable demeanor makes them the breed of choice as family farm guardians. The way in which Pyrenees guard the livestock & family is through their consistent offensive barking, imposing size, and leery demeanor towards anything unfamiliar. Pyrenees only attack predators if the predator physically advances.
Be Realistic
If you live in town, it is important to be realistic about whether or not you can handle a Great Pyrenees, as they are huge dogs who are built to bark and roam if left outside. If you do live out in the country/rural, it is important that you know a purebred Great Pyrenees needs proper fencing to keep them from roaming further than you want.
POLICY: (PLEASE ACTUALLY READ IT)
POLICY: (PLEASE ACTUALLY READ IT)
Onward Acres Farm is our family's private residence... it is NOT a public farm or "kennel"! For the bio-security, safety, health and privacy of our family, home & livestock we respectfully refrain from hosting farm/home visits. If you are picking up your Great Pyrenees puppy from us in Michigan (instead of shipping out of state), the transfer of the sold puppy to the buyer takes place at an agreed upon public location. We provide plenty of honest photos of our beautiful setting here on our website so that anyone who buys a puppy from us can feel assured that their puppy comes from a top notch, clean setting. OUR GREAT PYRENEES PUPPIES DO NOT COME WITH A 'SMOKE & MIRRORS' CONTRACT FULL OF OBNOXIOUS REQUIREMENTS, NOR BOGUS GUARANTEES FROM US. OUR GREAT PYRENEES GUARDIANS ARE MANAGED WITH OLD FASHIONED LOGICAL PURPOSE. THEY ARE HARDY AND HIGH QUALITY.
Our puppies are healthy as re-affirmed by having our vet check them, fair & square.
HOWEVER....We can't sell our puppies with 1 or 5 year "health guarantees". BECAUSE, dogs can't stay healthy just because USELESS PAPERWORK said that they will in the future, PERIOD. (DOGS ARE NOT APPLIANCES, IT IS ABSOLUTELY LUDICRIS TO EXPECT ANY LIVE ANIMAL TO COME WITH A GARRAUNTEE/WARRANTY. WE TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT IS A VERY COMMON ASPECT OF ANIMAL SELLING THAT HAS GOTTEN OUT OF HAND IN OUR COUNTRY).
The only way a dog STAYS healthy is if the owner purposefully takes good care of them. We're not under the illusion that we can control the sold dog's life.....So once a puppy has left our care, it becomes the new owner's duty to maintain the good health.
We have a lot of great health maintenance recommendations for folks who purchase one of our gorgeous puppies.
