@SwellWines To steal a page from dog_rates, those aren't dogs, they're polar bears.

Big, beautiful, fluffy polar bears.

@czarbucks A common comment I receive. πŸ˜‚
@SwellWines Oh my gosh, they're beautiful. (Full disclosure, I'm a fan of big beautiful dogs ...)
@legallaurak Thank you! Me too & now specifically #GreatPyrenees. 😁
@SwellWines We're a #GermanShepherds family here but I like Great Pyrenees, too. Our pups have a couple of #BerneseMountain friends around the corner. I guess we're just #BigDog fans....
@legallaurak I grew up & spent my formative years w/ a #GermanShepherd so they will always have a special place in my heart, but we stumbled upon #GreatPyrenees rescuing one for my then young children & we were hooked. 😜
@SwellWines Your pups are beautiful. I bet they look forward to their walks like my WolfEπŸ‘‡πŸ»He is 135lb Anatolian Shepherd/Pyrenees #LSGD who regards me as his sheep. #dogsofmastodon
@Spideycatsays1 Thank you! By the picture I thought WolfE was a Leonberger, but either way he’s quite handsome! BTW- I just regarded as the human who supplies food & entertainment. πŸ˜‚
@SwellWines Your dogs look so happy 😊
@tsallinia Thank you! They like nothing more than a car ride to a walk in the woods! πŸ˜‚
@harrisjody Yes, & rescues!
@SwellWines They’re beauties. Here’s my rescue fur baby Farley, in all his glory. #mondog #pyrsofmastodon
@SwellWines did those beautiful pups really stay that clean? We need to see the after shot πŸ™‚
@milgrim Nooooooo! πŸ˜‚ They are actually fairly dingy in the pictures. It’s just that their white fur makes them LOOK clean. 😜
@SwellWines ha, I don't believe it. That's pristine by any normal dog standards. I can still tell they are white πŸ˜‚

@milgrim Lulu (L on stream pic) stays a bit cleaner as she doesn't stay outside quite as much as Beauregard (R) & when she does, she mostly lies on the patio.
Beauregard lies in the dirt. Look at his side vs. Lulu's rump, but I do often get similar comments.

Here's Beauregard, clean & fresh from the groomer. 😜

@SwellWines Is the first one a White Swiss Shepherd Dog (with blue leash)?

@kniziol First, they are both rescues, so can’t be πŸ’― sure, but both are Great Pyrenees, at least mostly.

I have read that there are 2 strains of Pyrs- 1. Eastern like Lulu (blue) with a thinner muzzle & closely resembling a Kuvasz or Maremma Sheepdog & 2. Western like Beauregard (black) with a slightly blockier head. Though I think classic Pyrs are something in between. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@SwellWines Got it. Thank you for information and explanation πŸ’ͺ
@SwellWines are they Pyrenees Mountain Dogs? Beautiful!
@stephenwclark Yes. πŸ‘ Thank you!
@SwellWines What great photographs & gorgeous dogs!! They look so happy.
@Darceatron73 Thanks! They do love their walks in the woods. πŸ˜‚
@SwellWines they are beautiful 😍 as well as the place ☺️
@SwellWines Quality content. 🐢
@SwellWines still white, so pic was before the walk :)
@SwellWines Looks so much like my old Kuvacz!
