Are Pyrenean Mastiffs Good Family Dogs?
Yes, Pyrenean Mastiffs are good family dogs because they are protective and affectionate. They are patient with children and require early socialization and training for their large size.
How Big Do Pyrenean Mastiffs Get?
Males are about 30-32 inches tall and weigh 185-220 pounds; females are slightly smaller. They grow slower than smaller breeds and take over two years to get to full size.
Do They Require Extensive Exercise?
Moderate activity is what they need, 30 to 45 minutes every day. Too much exercise as a pup could put too much stress on their growing joints.
Are They Difficult to Train?
They are intelligent, but they are independent and need firm but positive training. You will have to be patient and consistent with house training, as it does take longer.
