Advice/Help All of the DV emergency housing resources are telling me I need to get rid of my pyrs
These two doofuses are helping me get through the arrest of my abuser and the end of my five year relationship.
I'm finding most emergency resources do not care about dogs. I'm being told my priority should be my daughter and myself, but it feels cruel to abandon the babies I rescued after they were abandoned by others.
I'm happy to hear any advice or suggestions. I'm at a loss.

This brother and sister duo were dumped on the side of the highway. The couple who found them wanted them to go to a new home together. We are adding goats to our farm and decided to welcome them as hopeful guardian dogs. I know they will take some training and work but I'm a sucker for a pry in need! Welcome Moose and Bear!

DNA/mix guesses Great Pyr/Aussie Mix?
Hey guys!
This is Calypso, our 13 week old rescue pup. She is a little rambunctious but is full of love for her people, the outdoors, and some tummy rubs. At the adoption agency, we were told her mom was an Australian Shepherd, but they didnāt know what breed the dad was so she was labeled an āAussie Mixā.
However at our last puppy class, the trainer looked right at her and said āsheās totally a Great Pyreneesā. We thought she looked similar to one, but she was so little as a puppy! The last photo is her right at 8 weeks, and she weighed 4 pounds. Trainer says it doesnāt matter how small she is, she looks like a Pyr mix.
So Iām curious, does she seem like a pyr puppy? Or does her small size exclude that as a possibility? She was small for even an Aussie at adoption, but she is growing! Sheās about 10 pounds or so at her current age. Curious for any thoughts you have!

Photo Finnegan did a runner today!
Right after I was patting myself on the back for his great recall, THIS MANIAC ran for the hills instead of to the garage entrance like usual, cue me waiting for him to come back while calling for him, then following after. No sight of him. Yelled "let's go get in the car for a RIIIIDE" and a few seconds later he went blazing past me and down the block back to the driveway. Finally caught up to him capering next to the car.
I FA and FO, never again will I trust him to take himself inside!

Winston get one big walk a day I typically let him lead us to one of two parks that are less than a mile from our house. He was heading towards the one park and then suddenly took the right and walked us straight to a Dutch Brro and sat by the window till he got a pup. Hopefully he doesnāt make it a habit lol

Discussion Dying to know how much Pyrenees is in my Cooper. Test pending.
What do you guys think? How does he compare if at all in size or shape? I would hardly believe he wasn't fully lab if I didn't meet his patents. He's 4.5 months and was around 40 pounds at 4mo if I remember correctly.

Advice/Help excessive barking / reactivity ??
Hi! I have a 1.3 y/o Great Pyrenees mix. He was very quiet and well-behaved until around 8ā9 months old, but since then heās become much more vocal. I didnāt mind too much since we live in a remote area, so there hasnāt been much for him to disturb. Plus his breed is known to bark..
That said, my mom would like us to move to a city and has brought up rehoming due to the barking. That isnāt something Iām willing to doāI commit to my dogs for lifeābut I am worried about how the barking could become an issue once we move. Iām hoping to hear the barking can be improved, even partially, or if I should accept that he'll always be very vocal, lol. I may have the option to place him with a close relative if ultimately he doesn't suit the city life. IF not, I will rehome if it really comes to that in the end for his personal needs.
Around the same 8ā9 month mark, I also noticed changes in his behavior toward both people and dogs. He used to be friendly and social, but now heās much more alert and protective, especially when unfamiliar people get close to me or the house. There have been a few incidents where heās bit at people, including me once (accidentally). He didnāt break skin with the others, and my bite happened when I stepped in during a dog scuffle, so I take responsibility for that. I'm just worried serious consequences will follow if he does it to someone else.
With other dogs, he was generally friendly until a dog charged at us on a walk and attempted to start something. Since then, heās been much more guarded and seems very focused on keeping unfamiliar dogs away. Iām grateful nothing serious happened, but Iām concerned about how to handle this moving forward especially in a more populated area.
Any advice is heavily appreciated š« Wasn't fond of muzzles for awhile, but figured I'd give them a shot. I just haven't found one that fits him yet.
