Great Pyrenees For Sale

Bountiful's dogs are guaranteed extensively and that guarantee is available at the bottom of this page.

Bountiful's dogs are always up-to-date on shots, heartworm preventative, and parasite control.

Bountiful's Great Pyrenees are sold on contract. A copy of the Buyer's Agreement is shown below the guarantee.

We are always happy to send current pictures of any particular dog for sale upon request.

We do not give quantity discounts as each Bountiful Livestock Guardian Dog is well worth the purchase price.

All Great Pyrenees on Bountiful farm are micro-chipped. There are just too many reasons not to do it and we believe it offers our customers one more valuable service not available from backyard breeders.

Bountiful is pleased to announce that we now offer a puppy training program. See details below.

Puppies

We will announce when we will have puppies available. Reservations are accepted on a first come, first served basis.

Note About Color

We have noticed that many people do not understand that Great Pyrenees are born with much darker color on their coats than they will display when adult. The color fades as the pups mature. Our pups often end up with some color on their ears, nice dark eyelids and noses, and, in some cases, light markings on the face or body but we have pups with both less and more color at different times. People who use color as their primary or secondary selection criteria would do best to look elsewhere.

Pricing Policy

PUPPIES -All pups are sold on contract. All dogs to be LGDs will be spayed/neutered prior to the sale and will be sold for $500.00. Non-refundable deposit to hold until three months old is $125; this deposit will be applied to the purchase price. Puppies available to be sold as breeding stock will be determined as the pups develop. Intact dogs will sell at $750 while pups to be sold as pets will be priced at $625 and will undergo adaptation training as a house pet. They will be available at about 12 weeks of age and require a $300 deposit before we bring them into the house. All pets will be sold spayed or neutered. Anyone interested in purchasing a pet Great Pyrenees, please go to our Pyrs as Pets page and read the criteria for a pet purchaser at the bottom of the page.

Bountiful's Puppy Training Program

To better meet the needs of our prospective customers, we are offering a puppy training program. Your deposit will hold the puppy for one month in order to give you time to arrange transportation. If you choose to purchase the puppy and leave it here for training beyond that month we will:

Leave the puppy with its dam or sire so that it will start to "go out" with both its parent and the goat herd and actively participate in the guarding process. Although any Great Pyrenees will become a guardian over time, this apprenticeship will allow the parent to correct youthful exuberance in relating to the stock and will add a sophistication to the pup's performance of its duties that might otherwise take longer if it had to develop all its technique on its own.

If you purchase more than a single pup, we will ensure the pups are kept together for bonding and to learn teamwork as guardians.

Furnish basic veterinary care, including shots, worming, and Frontline applications.

Ensure the puppy is cared for exactly as we care for our own guardians.

Socialize the puppy for basic handling and teach it to come to its name.

Provide this service for $150 per month, paid in advance monthly, for up to five months of age for intact dogs or indefinitely (although we feel that this training beyond six months of age begins to lose its cost effectiveness) for spayed or neutered dogs.

Bountiful's Great Pyrenees Guarantee

1. This dog is guaranteed to be disease free at the time of purchase. Conditions diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian within 14 days of purchase are included in the guarantee. We recommend you take this dog to your vet for an examination and confirm its health.

2. This dog is guaranteed free of genetic defects that will hinder the ability to perform as an LGD until the age of 30 months. This guarantee includes but is not limited to hip dysplasia.

3. This dog is guaranteed to possess the breed characteristic instinct to act as a livestock guardian. This instinct may not be manifest in a newly weaned puppy. A started dog may not react to exceptional circumstances as capably as a mature dog. Any dog may need a reasonable period of time (up to thirty days) to adapt to its new circumstances. The guarantee does not cover inappropriate training, intentional or accidental. Common results of such training often include but are not limited to: bonding to either humans or pets instead of the desired stock. It does not cover carelessness and inattention on the part of the new owner nor does it cover the failure to make timely corrections.

4. Satisfaction under this guarantee may be replacement of the animal with a comparable animal or a full refund at the discretion of the seller

5. At any time during the life of this dog the buyers may return this dog to the sellers. Any return necessitates the buyer releasing any claim to the dog; no refund will be made under these circumstances.

6. If at any time during the life of this dog, the buyer has problems or questions pertaining to the dog, we will continue to provide educational support.

7. If you purchase a Bountiful Great Pyrenees Livestock Guardian Dog to protect stock other than goats, we guarantee the dog(s) to accept and bond with your stock provided you follow the directions and procedures we provide to you for that purpose.

If the dog receives less than a "Good" rating, the seller will replace the dog or refund the purchase price at the seller's discretion. Breeding any dog before receiving an OFA or PennHip certification nullifies the guarantee except for the rehoming portion.
