Gus and Ueli ("you-lee") are the Great Pyrenees that patrol the property. They have done an outstanding job of limiting the wildlife that accesses our pasture areas. Both dogs have been through rescue organizations, and have found a forever home with us.
This breed is a gentle giant, very docile in the home, and protective without being aggressive. However, they are not well-suited to city living. They are very territorial(ours have also claimed the adjoining properties), do not like to be confined, and bark at night.
We also spin the Pyrenees hair. It is called "chiengora" in spinning circles, and is a warm, durable, soil-resistant fiber.
