Meet the breeder

I'm Naomi S., the breeder behind Sapphire Valley Great Pyrenees located in Sapphire, NC. Our pups work and interact with sheep, cattle, goats, poultry, donkeys, cats and children every day, displaying calm confidence and responsibility from birth. Pups are trained by resident adult LGDs to become dependable guardians—protective yet gentle with the animals and families in their care.

Q. & A. with Naomi

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We quickly fell in love with the breed for their intelligence, fierce protection, and unwavering loyalty. They work around the clock, remaining vigilant. They are quick to organize--our current alpha is a female who directs the others into action. When predators approach, our dogs organize: two rush toward the offenders, one pushes mid-field, and two remain with the livestock. WE LOVE OUR PYRS...

  • What makes your program special?

    We raise purebred Great Pyrenees with care, integrity and a deep respect for their ancient role as livestock guardians. We breed selectively for intelligence, temperament, health and strong work instinct.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are white and badger. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    We had an amazing experience adopting Rambo from Sapphire Valley Great Pyrenees. After searching for about a week, we came across Naomi and immediately felt this experience was different from other breeders we had spoken with. Naomi was incredible to work with — kind, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about her dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to bring Rambo home safely, and the entire process felt personal and supportive. Meeting the whole pack and seeing the beautiful environment the dogs are raised in was such a special experience. You can tell the dogs are well-loved, well-socialized, and genuinely cared for. Rambo is now almost 9 months old, and we couldn’t ask for a better LGD. He is smart, calm, well-behaved, naturally protective, and has fit seamlessly into our family and pack — especially with our Ridgeback Molly. Watching his goofy, playful side come out as he’s settled in has been so fun. We are incredibly grateful to Naomi and would absolutely recommend Sapphire Valley Great Pyrenees to anyone looking for a well-bred family guardian with an amazing temperament. We already talk about coming back for a non-related female in the future!
