PyrsForSale

We have noticed that many people do not understand that Great Pyrenees are born with much darker color on their coats than they will display when adult. The color fades as the pups mature. Our pups often end up with some color on their ears, nice dark eyelids and noses, and, in some cases, light markings on the face or body but we have pups with both less and more color at different times. People who use color as their primary or secondary selection criteria would do best to look elsewhere.

All puppies will be sold for $1000. This will include spay or neuter prior to release at 12 weeks. Non-refundable deposits will be accepted along with a copy of the Buyer's agreement signed by all people involved in the purchase after the litter is born and after at least one phone conversation that includes all parties who will have influence over the dog's treatment.

To better meet the needs of our prospective customers, we are offering a puppy training program. Your deposit will hold the puppy for one month in order to give you time to arrange transportation. If you choose to purchase the puppy and leave it here for training beyond that month we will:

Leave the puppy with its dam or sire so that it will start to "go out" with both its parent and the goat herd and actively participate in the guarding process. Although any Great Pyrenees will become a guardian over time, this apprenticeship will allow the parent to correct youthful exuberance in relating to the stock and will add a sophistication to the pup's performance of its duties that might otherwise take longer if it had to develop all its technique on its own.

If you purchase more than a single pup, we will ensure the pups are kept together for bonding and to learn teamwork as guardians.

Furnish basic veterinary care, including shots, worming, and Frontline applications.

Bountiful's Great Pyrenees Guarantee

1. This dog is guaranteed to be disease free at the time of purchase. Conditions diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian within 14 days of purchase are included in the guarantee. We recommend you take this dog to your vet for an examination and confirm its health.

2. This dog is guaranteed free of genetic defects that will hinder the ability to perform as an LGD until the age of 30 months. This guarantee includes but is not limited to hip dysplasia.

The guarantee does not cover inappropriate training, intentional or accidental. Common results of such training often include but are not limited to: bonding to either humans or pets instead of the desired stock. It does not cover carelessness and inattention on the part of the new owner nor does it cover the failure to make timely corrections.

4. Dogs that have been trained to act inappropriately or that have not received timely correction and allowed to habitualize inappropriate behavior may be returned for no refund or returned for re-training at the rate of $250 per month for a minimum of three months.

5. Satisfaction under this guarantee may be replacement of the animal with a comparable animal or a full refund at the discretion of the seller.

6. At any time during the life of this dog the buyers may return this dog to the sellers. Any return necessitates the buyer releasing any claim to the dog; no refund will be made under these circumstances.

7. If at any time during the life of this dog, the buyer has problems or questions pertaining to the dog, we will continue to provide educational support.

8. If you purchase a Bountiful Great Pyrenees Livestock Guardian Dog to protect stock other than goats, we guarantee the dog(s) to accept and bond with your stock provided you follow the directions and procedures we provide to you for that purpose.
