Thank you for visiting the Impyrial Great Pyrenees web site! We are a hobby kennel taking great pride in our canine companions. We strive to produce a well-rounded dog that is suitable to be a loving family pet, a top show dog or capable of following its heritage by being a confident guard dog. Together with our partners at Guardenia Great Pyrenees, we have been actively involved in the breed for seventy years! Our goal is to create a dog that possesses the qualities we feel are important to the essence of the breed: correct type with that "distant" Pyrenean expression, good size without losing the necessary elegance, soundness of both body and mind with strong movement required of a working dog. We hope you find our web site informative. Feel free to ask any questions about these "majestic gentle giants" - the dog of ancient Royalty! We hope you enjoy your visit!
