The lady said they are Great Pyrenees. I learned a lot about them having never heard of them before today.
Oh my goodness. Those are not cheap dogs. And they are shaggy and large. You got your hands full.
I am a little familiar with the breed. I think of them as being a very large version of a golden retreiver. They are similar to newfoundlands. But are probably a little smarter and a little less happy-go-lucky. Less slobbery too.
This is such a great story. Glad you posted, and glad the puppies picked out such a great home.
This has been a great thread to read! Your pups are just adorable and the names Lillie and Grace are wonderful.
Here in MO, some people give their GP’s “summer cuts” to get them through the hot, humid summers we have. Your LA. summers last quite a bit longer than ours, and it sure would cut down on the shedding.

What a great way to get a pair of dogs. I can see why people thought that they had Golden in them. Great Pyranees look like big, white Goldens to me. All I know about GP is what I learned on Animal Planet's "Breed All About It" show. They will be quite happy living outside -- especially in a warm climate like LA. They are herding dogs and normally live with the sheep. You might want to shave them in the summer for comfort, although I have always thought that those heavy coats insulate against heat -- but most people shave the Newfies and the GP around here in the summer (Wisconsin).
I'm glad to hear that they had been well cared for. You said that one of the children in the house had some disabilities. I think these dogs will be great with her -- very protective. They'll think of her as their lamb.
Lucky, lucky dogs and lucky, lucky dog parents.
