Hello everyone, guest blogger Ross here (Valerie’s son).  I just wanted to post some photos of our Pyrs out here in Colorado.  Enjoy!

This is Boo! – CH Thimble Farm See No Evil – giving us a good look with his gentle eyes.

Here is a picture of Pepper and Zilla during Valerie’s visit to our house in early February.  This is a cool picture of the different coat types and color this breed can express.  Pepper is a smooth faced fawn, while Zilla is a rough faced, demi-long brindle merle.

Here are some cute Pyr themed onesies!  Iron on fabric and some creativity developed these.

Here are two Pyrenean Shepherds waiting to go into the show ring at Fitchburg, Mass.  These are great examples of both the smooth and rough faced varieties.

Here is a great example of a Smooth Face Pyrenean Shepherd.  Pepper moves like a dream, shows like she owns the ring, and has the most wonderful temperament.  Pepper is the first U.S. Smooth Faced Champion!

This is Crackle with her Border Collie siblings!  Her sire is a group placing dog, Ch. Chippewa Bleu De La Brise.  Crackle is loving, active, and in her agility home learning all that she can!

La Brise Coco Chanel will have pups (hopefully) in December.  Call for information to 716-652-7974.  Coco belongs to Ann Shepard and lives in South Glastonbury, Connecticut. 

This photo was taken by Joni Johnson when she visited Finland recently.  It is a good example of the breed and the how they appear in their natural habitat.

The Pyrenean Shepherds have been approved for full recognition into the Herding Group for January 1, 2009.  Thanks to all who have helped.  Know that you can also reach this public service website at www.pyreneanshepherd.com.  Watch for AKC Ch. Chippewa Bleu de La Brise.

Here is the gorgeous Smooth Faced PSCA and AKC Ch. La Brise Renardette (Pepper) winning again!  Handled by Patricia Princehouse, Pepper just keeps on doing it.

Such a cute photo of our Chippewa Bleu De La Brise as a wee puppy.

Here is the lovely Coco.  Just had Coco’s hips x-rayed for OVC, and they were described as EXCELLENT.  And in new news, Coco takes Winners Bitch at the Hamilton Shows handled by Deb Hilliard in June 2007.  She is on the board!  Coco lives with Ann Shepard in Glastonbury Connecticut.
