Description
I home check before finalising any sale. Pyrenean Mountain Dog puppies are very cute and cuddly, but they do grow into large dogs. I am more than happy to bring one of my Pyreneans to your house so that you can get a real idea of what it is like having a dog of this size in your own environment, irrespective of whether you have a puppy from me or another breeder, same to answer any questions on the breed.
The other reason I like to do home checkes is so that if you have any questions in the early days, I've got a better idea of the home situations so I can give more tailored advice.
A little background about this litter and me. My family have had Pyrenean Mountain Dogs since 1949. I was brought up with them, so have a lifetime in the breed, and I’m the 2nd generation to breed them and 3rd generation to own them.
I don’t breed often, because I only ever breed when I’m looking to keep one for myself. Therefore, I’m looking for the best match for my dog, and I care about the health and how they are reared as I’m breeding for myself.
All my dogs are bred and reared in the house and not in kennels. Puppies are socialised not just with their mum, but also with an older Pyrenean who is out of the last litter I bred. I do have a cat, but she took one look at the puppies after they were born and decided she was retiring to the cat only area of the house until it was all over so they’ve not really socialised with cats. Potential buyers are more than welcome to come and see the litter. I don’t accept deposits on puppies until someone has done this unless there are exceptional circumstances.
The mother of the litter – I imported as a puppy from France. Her elbows are 0:0, which is the ideal score, and her hips are 4:3 so a total of 7. This matches the breed mean and median for the last 5 years and is below the Breeders Mean and Median for the last 15 years, which is 10 & 9. She has also been through the BVA/KC eye screening and was passed as unaffected. She also has a full DNA Wisdom panel; I’m happy to talk you through the results. As well as ISAG 2020 DNA Profile - this allows for parentage verification if required.
The father of the litter – is a French import into Ireland, who has been made up into an Irish Champion. His elbows are 0:0. Hips are 1:2. He’s also been tested for the DM gene and is clear. He has also been genetically tested for DM, and both his parents were CRM clear, so he will be too. As well as having a French DNA profile.
Health screening carried out with the litter, etc. The puppies have already been microchipped so that screening results can be recorded next to their Microchip number. The litter will be going for a BVA Eye Litter screen (this checks for any congenital issues and is a subset of eye tests the adult eye screening covers), along with having BAER testing; this is a non-invasive test that checks that the puppies' brains are receiving hearing signals from both ears before they leave at 8 weeks. I have also taken DNA samples, which I’ve sent off for a Wisdom panel. This covers 270+ genetic conditions and 50+ genetic traits. I may not have the results back at 8 weeks; I’m expecting them sometime before the puppies are 12 weeks old. All puppies are health-checked by my vets before leaving.
Any unreserved puppies at 8 weeks will have their initial vaccination course started. For puppies that I start the vaccination process with new owners will have the options of either carrying out the 2nd vaccination at their own vets at their cost, or for free with my vets.
All the pups have been wormed at 3 & 5 weeks and will receive further worming at 8 weeks for those that are still with me.
The litter are registered with the Royal Kennel Club.
They come with a puppy pack that includes Breed Club membership, Royal Canin Starter pack, and insurance cover note.
