  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Chondrodysplasia/Dwarfism, Neuronal Degeneration (NDG), Multifocal Retinopathy 1 (CMR1), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia, Great Pyrenees Type

    Awesome buying experience. Joshua was super knowledgeable about the Pyrenees breed, including their behavior, their specific bloodlines. Joshua spent the time getting to know our family, such that we were a perfect fit for the puppy. He was super responsive via text and phone to answer any of our questions in advance of us getting the puppy. He has remained super responsive and helpful three weeks into us owning our puppy.

    Joshua was wonderful to work with. He was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about his precious dogs. Our puppy Aurora that we purchased from him is perfect. Extremely well socialized and completely adjusted. She instantly fit into our family like she was born into it. Joshua did an excellent job bringing this lovely puppy along.
