We are seriously considering a Great Pyr however my question is.... how difficult is it to raise this type of breed with another dog in the household (1 1/2 year old Standard Poodle)? I was told that a puppy raised with another dog will bond to our other dog making training very difficult if not impossible. Is there any truth to this?
Although I have some experience with flock guards as we had a Kuvasz many years ago, I have no direct experience with Great Pyrs. Are there differences in type amoung the breed and if so, how do I know which is the best "type" for a family/companion dog? Also, any suggestions on what bloodlines have the best temperament for family life or does it not matter? Is there anyway to determine if a puppies head or lip conformation will predispose it to drooling or is this something that a reputable breeder will have taken care of :-). Thanks for any information.
