The white guardian of the summits, raised as family.
The Great Pyrenees mountain dog has guarded mountain flocks through high passes for centuries. Ours grow up at the foot of Mont-Tremblant, in a house full of life, before they watch over yours.
A small kennel, on purpose.
We never raise more than two litters a year. The Great Pyrenees is a giant breed, slow to mature — our females have their first litter only after age two, once every screening is complete.
Everything happens right here in Mont-Tremblant. Puppies are born in the house, meet snow before their first snow at your place, and grow up around our children, our other dogs and the everyday comings and goings.

Three commitments, for every puppy.
They apply to every litter we raise — no exceptions, no extra charge.
Health tested before breeding
Hips, elbows, heart and eyes screened in both parents before any litter, as breed clubs recommend. You receive the actual results, not a summary.
Socialized in the mountains
Daily handling from birth, gradual exposure to snow, trails, visitors and the other animals in the house. A calm guardian is built early, not by chance.
Support for life
We stay reachable after your puppy leaves — fencing, night barking, seasonal shedding, growth. And if you ever can't keep them, they come back here. Always.
The Great Pyrenees, and nothing else.
We don't diversify. The Great Pyrenees mountain dog has guarded livestock for centuries — calm, independent, protective, built for the cold. It's a demanding breed, and we'd rather know it thoroughly than spread ourselves across several.
It's also a breed that deserves an honest conversation before adoption: night barking, the need for secure fencing, heavy seasonal shedding twice a year. We talk about all of it plainly, before any reservation.
From your first question to the ride home.
You write to us
Tell us about your property, your fencing, your children and your experience with guardian breeds. We reply within one or two days, honestly — sometimes to tell you the breed isn't right for your situation.
We meet
Kennel visits by appointment, even before a litter is born. You meet the parents and see the grounds where the puppies grow up. A breeder who won't let you visit is telling you something.
Reservation and matching
A $500 deposit confirms your place on the litter. Puppy–family matching happens around week seven, based on observed temperament — an overly independent guardian doesn't suit every family.
Going home at nine weeks
Your puppy leaves vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and examined by our veterinarian, with a health record and a blanket that smells like the litter. One week later than most: a giant-breed puppy needs it.
A litter is expected this fall.
Our puppies are almost always spoken for before they're born. If you're considering a Great Pyrenees this year, now is the right time to write — even if you aren't certain yet.
