Thimble Farm Kennel is just south of Buffalo and Niagara Falls, New York. Although circumstances have caused us to cut back on our activities, we still enjoy sharing information on other's dogs, their dog activities, and helpful information on holistic care for your pet. The dogs still living here on the farm are correct to their standards, have excellent temperaments, and are working animals. Please give us a call at 716-652-7974 or email to valdavis@roadrunner.com to chat about Pyrenean Shepherds or Great Pyrenees. Hopefully, we can guide you to a breeder who can provide a healthy puppy or adult dog.

Boo! had his first litter last night out of Ch. Nautika Thimble Farm Gabriella.  He had 5 girls and 3 boys.  All is well and Daddy, Ch. Thimble Farm See No Evil, is a very proud guy!

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.

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!

Boo! was pretty good at it too!

Pyrenean Chase

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