Kuza

I refuse to address the "you were never getting a dog ever again" folks ;)

Taliesin would much prefer a mouse as a new pet. He's not amused by Kuza.. none of the cats are.. but Kuza is used to cats so he really doesn't care. The farm where we bought him had the pups (and adults) living with the goats and oodles of barn cats.


His markings are called "badger" colorings.. in most great pyrenees they completely disappear in adulthood leaving a pure white dog. I like the colorings, maybe his will stay?

The puppy was the main attraction right out of bed. Here Naomi is feeding him some puppy kibble while still in her PJs. He is a very mellow puppy (currently!) and the littles are enjoying him as well as the older children.


Kuza is around 25lbs or so currently. He's a -very- large puppy. I need to get his birthdate from the breeder, but I believe he's around 10-12 weeks old. He's still adjusting and I can hopefully get better pictures later.

He'll be around 100-120lbs in adulthood. His parents are very well-trained for guarding livestock, so I'm hoping he will 1) keep things from eating the poultry and 2) imprint on the children/family in as the house guardian.

Btw, he was the easiest dog overnight. He slept. Peacefully. No whining or fuss at all.

What a big, cute puff ball of a puppy! ;-) My sister loves *large* dogs & has a great dane, a mutt who is about 100 pounds, and she added to it all a couple years ago with a bull mastiff. ;-)

Hi, Looking at the pyrs pics from your reference over in the pyr group. He is so precious. Enjoyed reading your blog also. My daughter wished she could have a homebirth or at least a water birth at the hospital but her husband wouldn't let her have them at home and the hospital they had to go to was the traditional kind.
Blessings.
