I'm JoAnn W., the breeder behind JoAnn Winks' Great Pyrenees located in Adams County, CO. I am a small show breeder of carefully selected Pyrenees. I breed to the breed standards, and it is my goal to better the breed. I hand-raise all of my dogs with love in my home. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family complementary to their personality and ability!
Q. & A. with JoAnn
Why did you start breeding?
My dogs are excellent representations of the breed, and I am proud to continue their line. I breed to help ensure the future of the Pyrenees and to improve upon my dogs' fantastic traits with each generation.
What makes your program special?
I am an experienced breeder, and I take my role seriously. I keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, pedigree, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
