Discussion In regards to recent events, and the dog behind why I created the subreddit NSFW

Post image
2.0k Upvotes

Hi all, I just want to give a little background, I made this subreddit when I was 15 years old after meeting my best friend Max, pictured above. I had no idea this subreddit would grow to the size that it has and I am so grateful to have seen all of these amazing dogs over the years. That being said I would be making a grave mistake if I didn’t utilize this platform that I somehow have.

I dont know why I need to post this but I have seen too many comments being supportive of ICE and or dismissive of Renee Good or Alex Pretti in this subreddit and sorry for any offensive language but I need to make this clear. Fuck ICE, and if me posting this offends you, fuck you too. Go find yourself a different subreddit about Great Pyrenees that wants you, because I certainly dont want you here.

Now that is out of the way I figure it’s time I talk about the reason I made this subreddit! My buddy Max was born deaf but for some reason I feel like we bonded even more because hes deaf. Like what noise could ever describe my love for him, he knows I love him and I know he loves me. When he wants pets, he pyr paws his own face like he’s telling me what to do and where to pet. He’s coming up 14 years old, but according to our vet he is a total superstar. He LOVES his two daily walks and besides some mild arthritis, he is doing great.

This is Sammy he is a pyr mix with German shepherd and is 4x ish inbred. Not my doing!! I didn’t know he was inbred before I got him. He is roughly 9months old (born early February) and he is HUGE now, he no longer fits on my lap, very sad, and he is the sweetest boy.

I lost my lil dog Chloe on Tuesday my bday and my bullmastiff today he couldn’t handle it … was devastatingly saddest death in my 51 years of life including humans , past dogs , and horses . He was so heartbroken he wouldn’t even come in house he looked everywhere for her. He was there with all of us in my home when she was PTS he got to see her after as well n smell her to understand. He could t handle it n his back went into shit down . I’m sickly heartbroken. Indy was with ace the last two days staying by his side in barn n with him when he passed today at home with vet again . Izzy gets it but not grieving like the rest of us . Suck as weak.

Advice/Help Heartworm treatment experience? Getting conflicting suggestions

Post image
134 Upvotes

We adopted our girl a year ago and she was heartworm negative, but she just popped heartworm positive on her annual this week, so our vet suspects she must’ve been infected right before she was rescued and it just didn’t show up on the test yet. We’ve had her on monthly treatments since we got her so I’m hoping the heart worms are not that advanced. We’ll get a chest x-ray done to confirm. I am hearing conflicting things from my Vet versus from the rescue we got her from in terms of the best treatment plan going forward. My vet acknowledged they don’t see a lot of heartworm cases, but recommended the three shot more intense approach that’s supported by AHA, and the rescue has mentioned that their vet is a heartworm expert and uses the slow kill method (in particular something called ProHeart12 that’s apparently pretty new). My understanding was that the slow kill was not necessarily as effective and might leave her exposed to Heartworms longer, but now I’m confused getting basically two opposite recommendations. Does anyone have experience treating heart worms in their Pyrenees? Would love any experience or advice here. Thank you! Pic for tax 🐾

Advice/Help Pyr suddenly howling

3 Upvotes

Our pup recently started howling following a visit to the groomer (about a month ago). His haircut was a bit shorter than normal (not shaved or anything short, still simply trimmed) so I figured this was the cause of the sudden howling. However, he is still howling quite a bit. I come home- he howls. We park the car - he howls. He sees his grandparents- he howls. Have anyone else experienced this with their pyr? Should I be concerned? He’s got full energy, is running/walking and playing just fine, is eating like normal etc. for context, he’s 4.

Had to show off my Beanie Girl! She’s so patient whenever I groom her, but she will punish me for the following 24hrs. By punish, I mean refusing to accept her dental treat. The drama. The horror.

Advice/Help thoughts on native pet?!

Post image
57 Upvotes

Howdy! Thinking of adding supplements to my baby’s diet. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with Native Pet.. I get ads all the time! Plus they seem to have many options for coat, joint, and digestive aid.

I started him on their omega oil and he seems to tolerate it. However, I am wary of long term results. He is tall and 4yo so I want to do my best to prevent arthritis and hip dysplasia as he nears senior age. I am open to any diet or supplement advice. Please and thank you!!

Advice/Help Best tracking collars to use on runaway farm guardians?

2 Upvotes

We blew some money on our livestock guardian dogs because one keeps getting out and taking everyone else with him, abandoning them and coming back on his own without the others.

After it happened for the second time we have doubled down and will be purchasing tracking collars- we plan on rehoming the ring leader. but he’s very difficult to keep entertained enough to keep at home. So atleast while he is here he needs to have a tracker. He’s not interested in guarding my goats and it’s why I think he don’t wanna stay his favorite things are coming in the house uninvited and wandering around to every farm in the vicinity. He just wants to hang out and be a family farm pet and I don’t hate him for it or anything. But I’d rather not keep him around if it means my other ones will stay where they belong and not out playing on the highways.

We bought the pet link GPS tracking collars but it’s been a nightmare and I’ve barely had them for a week. For Some reason the app toggled on active tracking mode on its own, and killed the collar on one of the dogs, now I can’t get it to come back online, not to mention it is highly inaccurate on their position at almost all times. It put one of them over 25mins away in on one update, and 10 minutes later said they were back home, they would’ve had to have been traveling over 60mph to achieve that. And I refuse to believe that and believe it’s much more feasible to say that the collar is just junk.

Any recommendations for rural areas. I’ve got atleast 2 to track but I’d like all 4 of mine to have collars. I can’t stop them from escaping, they either dig under or climb right over it even though the fence is electrified for my goats, and it’s not readable right now to fence in all 10 and a half acres with 6ft tall fencing right now.

I’ve had experience with FI- but they are terrible and also not as accurate as I’d like.
