So, the very next day after posting the last Pyrenean Partners post – we got a bit of snow.  This always gets Boo! and Zilla all riled up – and I was able to capture a play session.  You can click on each photo to see a larger version.  Enjoy!

Zilla wants to play, Boo! looks a little annoyed at this.

It's On! Boo! makes his move, but Zilla is a little too quick!

Zilla counters with some kind of flying kung foo!

Zilla is forced to engage her afterburners once again. It looks like she is on fire here!

Zilla isn't quick enough and gets taken down. The snow has given Boo! a speed advantage.

Windswepped Zilla - considering whether to attack again.

I have found that there are very few modern pictures of Great Pyrenees and Pyrenean Shepherd living together.  So, today I got the camera out and recorded some of their antics.  The Great Pyrenees is Boo! (CH Thimble Farm See No Evil) and the Pyrenean Shepherd is Zilla (Thimble Farm Fantome).  Zilla loves to chase things that you throw – and Boo! decided to give it a try – then he just decided to chase Zilla which is always an exciting event.  You can click on the photo to get a larger version.  Enjoy!

Zilla loves this game!

Zilla, playing with the rope toy.

Boo! wanted to give it a try!

Boo! was pretty good at it too!

Chase time! Zilla turns on the afterburners and makes sharp turns - the only way to escape a Great Pyrenees bearing down on you!

Here is Zilla, Thimble Farm Fantome, who is trying out some beer on St. Patty’s Day.  Hope she doesn’t like it too much!

This is “Bright” or Thimble Farm Trephine who is so much like her mother….a little manipulator but who wouldn’t love that face!

Here is Merlin at his first show in Canada and what a great job he did!  Merlin is out of Am/Cdn Ch. Thimble Farm Maid of the Mist and sired by Ch. Rivergroves Kiss Me I’m Irish.  Merlin is owned by Trudy O’neill.

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.

Big news!  Pepper, Ch. La Brise Renardette, has accomplished another first!  She was the first Smooth Faced Pyrenean Shepherd Champion in the U.S. and now she has taken a Herding Group 3 at the Erie Kennel Club Dog Show in Erie, PA, on Saturday, January 30.  This makes her the first Smooth Faced Pyrenean Shepherd to take a regular group placement in the U.S.!!

They grow so fast and right before our very eyes!  Here is CJ in New Jersey who is now a graduate!

Another Champion!  Everyone is so proud of our adorable impish Coco.  She will be handled at Westminster in February by 11-year old Lauren Hull of Leroy, New York.  They will be the cutest team ever!
