I have been staring at the Small Puff and wondering, well, why isn’t she a puff???
There were very fluffy pups in her litter of purebred Great Pyrenees that were indeed little round puffs of fluff and I dug up the puppy pictures of Puff Senior to verify that I remebered right.
I am very curious now why she isn’t fluffy. I did feel certain we left with the runt of the litter, the last puppy available after a mere 48 hours since they were listed on Craigslist (livestock guardian dogs from *working* lines seem to go fast) but I wanted another LGD and knew she was the right pup. She’s very healthy, sweet, and mercifully not the constant barker that our older LGD is. I don’t know if we stumbled on a genetic oddity but if a “smooth Pyrenees” is linked to the polite-barker gene, I’ll take it. She was definitely from the same litter and her parents and siblings looked like full pyrenees so I don’t know if this is a mutation of a pure breed or something buried so far down the line that it wasn’t obvious until it popped up.
Meet Cynna! This is a throwback to the day she arrived here in June. She’s our livestock guardian dog - ½ Sarplaninac, ¼ Caucasian Ovcharka, ¼ Great Pyrenees.
I have a barrier that prevents the dogs from hoping into the front seat of the car (or, in Naiko’s case, from standing with his front paws on the center console and inevitably losing his balance and falling into my coffee). Freya now contorts herself around the passenger seat headrest to watch me eat snacks
