We also have a Great Pyr. She is beautiful , affectionate, and also a barkaholic. She will bark at anything she doesn’t like including the mail man, Amazon delivery. Ups, Fedex, the garbage truck, joggers, cyclists or any thing she can hear but we can’t. But she is just doing what she was bred for, and that is a magnificent guard dog. Thank God she just sleeps at night, not like some others. Her bark is much more than her bite, she has never bitten anyone, and she just loves children.
They are really amazing dogs, and so smart.
Ours still barks a lot st night, but we have been leaving a fan on at the barn and that’s helped a lot 😅
Ours have never bitten anyone either. Or even charged or acted aggressive . The most they do is bark and/or become a physical wall between any threats and the goats. I often have have kids visit the goats and the dogs just stand between the kids and the goats until they see it’s ok and then they just go about their business.
