The ultimate in Loft Security!Hey guys,
I am not sure if this is really pigeon related but I can tell you this is going to be my state of the art security system! The family and I went to pick these guys out today. The monsterous head over my wife's soulder is the daddy of the puppies. If you are not familliar with the breed, these are Great Pyrenees and they are the sweetest things I have ever seen. They were originally bred as guard dogs for the shepherds in the mountains between Italy and France. When these boys grow up they will have a nice comfy home under my loft. That should be enough to ward off most unwanted visitors, don't ya think?! Anyway, hope you enjoy the pictures. Dan P.S. If anyone is interested in more information on the breeder, here is her website: www.llamasofatlanta.com Attachment 5776 Attachment 5777 Attachment 5778 Last edited by learning; 6th July 2007 at 11:15 AM.

Mr. Squeaks,
You call them gentle giant dog bears. You are exactly right! We must have spent the better part of an hour just playing with the father shown in the picture. He was just an absolute lover boy, and what impressed me was how gentle he was with my 5 year old son. I think he could sense that Trevor was a little scared and he seemed to make a concious effort to slow down and let him warm up to him. After about 5 or 10 minutes Trevor was hugging on him like he does his stuffed animals at home. I was very impressed. Anyway, I am glad you all enjoyed the pictures. We are really looking forward to next weekend when we can bring the "boys" home! Dan

Am I the only one that thought that he was going to use a llama to guard his pigeons? Left me a bit confused there for a second.
It all bacame clearer after I scrolled down the page though.

Dan, I am so happy and jealous about your getting the Great Pyrenees. They have become my favorite dog. I had the pleasure of meeting two a few months ago and was so taken with them I posted about both meetings http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/showpo...30&postcount=7 and
http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/showpo...82&postcount=6 These dogs were so huge but so sweet it was instant love on my part. I hope you'll be sharing your experiences with yours....and often

Maggie,
Right now we are up to our eyeballs in puppy-proofing the house, getting the needed essentials, setting up initial vet visits and the like. Next Sunday however you can bet we will be armed with the digital camera! I will try to post some of the welcome home party. I don't want to take up to much room on this site since it really isn't a pigeon thing, but I will be glad to try to slip a few shots in from time to time! Thanks, Dan P.S. Did you check out the breeders site at the link in the original post? Absolutely beautiful 75 acre farm, 50 head of llamas, about 30 head of sheep, and a whole slew of the most beautiful, sweetest dogs in the world. By the way, there was another litter of 8 week old puppies for sale! Lilliane will even give you a two for one discount! Last edited by learning; 28th March 2007 at 08:47 PM.

Dan, I just checked out the site and it is a beautiful place. It reminds me of Jimmy Renex's farm in Canada. He is a member who doesn't come on as much as we would all like but he has "oodles" of critters.
Don't worry too much about posting frequent updates on these babies. We all love birds and animals so I don't think you'll encounter anyone who says "enough"! If I could I would love to have one but I am getting too old to take on another dog in addition to all the birds we rehab so I'll just have to get my "fix" from folks like you. Shi, you are an instigator! (Of the nicest variety!)

Jimmy, too, does indeed, have a heaven on earth for his many critters!
