As we have many new members, I think it is about time that the Proud Pyreneans Logo (at the top of the page) gets overhauled with new pictures!

Post as many pictures of your Pyrenean Mountain Dog(s) as you like in this thread. On Sunday, 14th October, I will then set up a poll where everyone can vote for 1 picture. The 5 pictures with the most votes will then be shown in the logo!

So get posting. Show off your PMD pictures!

He's fab Rachel, looks like he had a great time on his extension lead..I must get one.
A tip is if you click on th [IMG] code in your photo bucket before opening the image and paste it into this box the image will appear here instead of links to your photobucket. Apologies if you knew that.

That last picture is fantastic and my Fav,..where was it taken? (Canada at a guess?) Brilliant photo's all of them!!

Because Nevilles so young we cant really go any good places cause I'm affraid I'll over walk him or something, so I'm a bit stuck for getting any good outside pics :(

Rob

is it okay to put the pictures by e-mail? because i did as soon as i got your e-mail..
i can put them here too if the e-mail isn't okay.

I have got them by email, just need to find a moment to upload them and post them... ;) If you could post them directly here though, that would be fab for me. Thanks. :D

Okay i posted them here :D

Rob, I live in Canada, so that's where all the pictures are taken. I only live a couple hours away from the mountains, so Walter goes on tons of hikes!

Tinziliini, I can only see two of the pictures... I'm not sure if it's just my computer or if there's something else wrong. The two I can see are great though!

Oh, Thats weird, because i can see all of them :blink:
Can anybody else see all of them??

AvenueQ is your pyr canadian? because i'm very intrested in canadian and american pyrs :D

Nope, same here. I can't quite work out why...

I can only see two of the pics also..the 1st four pics wont open..I see the 5th pic then the next two are missing and I see the last.

Rob

Nope this time none opened! :o

Here is a pic of my boy from a show this weekend that I absolutely adore.

Thats a really great pic!!!!!

how long did you spend grooming prior to the show heehee and do you want to come and do Nevil :P

Would you like to come and do Monty too? :D :D

I cannot understand!!!! what am i doing wrong? :blink:

will send you a PM with my email address and will post em for you via my photo bucket if you like

Just gotta nip out for a bit 1st

LOL It took a couple days of grooming. Bath on Thursday with a comb ran through him, then line grooming on friday for about 4 hours lol. Then touch ups for about a half hour each saturday and sunday. I love to groom so if you lived near by I would say yes and groom both of your dogs lol.

Abstrax

How do you get him to sit for so long. Monty will sit for a while but as soon as you go near his bum he's off :D :D

I groom Tache on a grooming table. He just stands there, actually he is so used to it he doesn't even need the grooming table. I just sit there on the ground and comb him while he stands. He loves being brushed out. :)

Abstrax

Tinziliini, I'm not sure about my pyr's lineage... He's from the Humane Society, so I don't know any of his background.

Abstrax- Wow, Tache looks amazing! Walter loves being groomed, but he never looks that clean.

Thank you! :)

Tache gets a bath every 2 weeks. So it's much easier for maintaining his coat.

Abstrax

I think you might be using a site that doesn't support links like this... I think the two that show are petpages links, the others are different websites... If you put them all on petpages, I think it will work.

Vera

Yes I think the problem maybe with http://irc-galleria.net/ , I tried to look around it but as its not in English I couldnt understand a word.

Maybe his album isn't made public or something. I said if he sends me the pics as attachments to an email, I'll upload them to my photobucket and post them for him.

Still strange as 2 pics opened yet the rest didn't maybe they've been moved or deleted?

Rob

sorry to be so ignorant but what does line grooming mean?

How do you get his fur so straight and fluffy looking?

To linebrush, you lift the coat against the grain with
one hand, and literally seperate out a line 1/2 to 1 inch wide, and brush it
out with a medium corse comb until all the loose undercoat and tangles are gone.
Do this line by line until the whole dog is brushed. Then take a comb and run it through to get any undercoat and tangles that were missed.

Tache's furr being so straight has to do with his genetics. A lot of Pyrs are born with wavy coats or straight coats, it depends on the dogs in the pedigree and what traits are commonly found in the lines for that dog. Tache's straight coat seems to come from his Dad's side which is a good chunk of VilleVieux and Limberlost. His mothers side is also Limberlost with Rivergroves and a bit from a couple other kennels.

http://www.freewebs.com/abstrax is my site. It's heavily under construction if you are interested in checking out his pedigree. It's on his page.

Abstrax

Abstrax, you are from America?
i am sooo intrested in American pyrs and their lines, do you breed Pyrenenan mountaindogs whit the name Abstrax? i adore American pyrs, and i would like to have a pyr from America some day :wub:
Now i have to apologize my BAD English, as you know i am from Finland and i dont get to use English very much :lol:

Yes the page i have my photos on, is strictly Finnish, i think maybe thats the reason.. :blink: But but i made my own "page" in phtobucket so i'll try again, THAK YOU ROB FOR YOUR HELP!!!

I think your written english is very very good, sorry I couldnt help more :(

Yes I am from America. I live in New York to be precise. Here we call them Great Pyrenees - or as you refer to them the Pyrenean Mountain Dog which is their proper name. I am actually just starting out. I've been learning about Pyrs and showing them for 4 years now through my mentors who do breed Pyrs - They are Nautika Kennels. They are a combination of Limberlost (Canada in Ontario by Toronto.) and Rivergroves (America in Maryland) lines and I adore them. They also have some new lines in their kennel from Impyrial lines.

Lois at Limberlost http://www.cdn-domain.com/limberlost/ doesn't really have a full website anymore last that I checked but you can see Tache resembles her lines the most in my opinion. But you can check out Rivergroves at http://www.rivergroves.com and Impyrial at http://www.impyrial.com .

Abstrax

PS. I think your english is fine. :)

Thank yoy Abstrax!! I absolutely adore Rivergrove Pyrs, not so much Impyrial, but i think the males are much smaller there than here in Finland, based on the pictures on these pages, How big is Tache?

Maybe some day i'll have an Abstrax pyr B)

Maybe my written English is allright, but if i'd have to talk to you face to face i wouldn't understand anything you say :lol:

Rob, you have Helped me a LOT!

I still dont know how to put the photos here, because now trough Phtobucket i cant even see them myself :D This is funny, now you can see that i am very much an computer Genious, i cant even post photos to a forum :lol:

Rob, can you try, i can put the link to my phtobucket here. ( if i can do even that ;) )
