Alright, let’s talk about this Rottweiler Pyrenees mix, or whatever fancy name they got for it. Great Weilernees, they call it? Sounds like somethin’ a city slicker made up. Anyways, these dogs, they’re big. Real big. Like, bigger than your average farm dog, that’s for sure.
Now, I ain’t no dog expert, but I’ve seen a few dogs in my time. This mix, it’s got that Rottweiler in it, you know, the ones with the black and tan fur? Tough-looking dogs, but mostly good-hearted, if you raise ’em right. Then there’s that Pyrenees part, the big white fluffy ones. Gentle giants, they say. So, you mix ’em together, and what do you get? A big, fluffy, maybe tough-looking dog. That’s my take on it.
Temperament, that’s what they call it. Well, these dogs, they can be a handful if you don’t know what you’re doin’. Rottweilers, they’re smart, real smart. You gotta teach ’em who’s boss, or they’ll walk all over you. Pyrenees, they’re loyal, but they can be stubborn too. So, this mix? You gotta be firm, but fair. Like raisin’ kids, I guess. Gotta show ’em love, but also gotta set some boundaries. Don’t let ‘em run wild, or you’ll have a whole heap of trouble on your hands, believe me.
What about health? Well, big dogs, they got their problems, just like us old folks. Hips and joints, that’s the big one. All that weight, it takes a toll. So, you gotta make sure they get the right food, not just any old slop. And exercise, they need that too. Can’t just let ’em lay around all day. Gotta get ’em movin’, keep them joints loose. Take ‘em for walks, play fetch, whatever it takes. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, that’s what my old man used to say.
Trainin’ these dogs, that’s another thing. Rottweilers, they’re eager to please, most of the time. But that Pyrenees stubbornness can creep in. So, you gotta be patient. Start ‘em young, that’s the key. And keep it consistent. Can’t be teachin’ ’em one thing today and somethin’ else tomorrow. They’ll get confused, just like anyone would. Use treats, use praise, use whatever works. But be firm, remember that. They gotta know you’re in charge, or they ain’t gonna listen.
Now, let’s talk about groomin’. That Pyrenees fur, it’s a lot. Lots of shedding, lots of brushing. You’ll be findin’ white hairs everywhere, I guarantee it. The Rottweiler part, that’s a bit easier, but still, you gotta keep ‘em clean. Bathe ‘em when they need it, brush ‘em regular, check their ears, and clip their nails. It’s a chore, but it’s gotta be done. A clean dog is a happy dog, that’s what I say.
- Size: Big. Real big.
- Temperament: Smart but stubborn, loyal but needs firm handling.
- Health: Watch out for hip and joint problems.
- Training: Start young, be consistent, be firm.
- Grooming: Lots of shedding, lots of brushing.
So, if you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ one of these Rottweiler Pyrenees mixes, make sure you’re ready for it. They ain’t for everyone. They need space, they need attention, they need training, and they need a whole lotta food. But if you’re up for the challenge, they can be great dogs. Loyal, protective, and maybe even a little bit cuddly, once you get past all that fur.
But listen here, don’t go gettin’ a dog just ’cause it looks pretty or tough. Dogs are a responsibility, a big one. You gotta be ready to take care of ’em, for their whole lives. Feed ’em, train ’em, love ’em, even when they’re bein’ a pain in the neck. That’s what bein’ a good dog owner is all about.
