I am glad someone else asked the question - since I was guessing around 5 feet - but you are not even close in the fives! 😂😂 I am 5’3” and I feel small at times - miss you are tiny!! That dog 🐶 is beautiful! Some dogs 🐶 also don’t like men for some reason…not sure if that is Winter’s case - but I have heard that on several occasions.
Honestly, I'm glad it's filmed differently than usual, because that shows that you guys respected Winter's feelings about the cameraman (even if they are misguided feelings lol).
God, stop with the delusional woke rhetoric. This is how animals are treated. They didn’t ‘respect’ his feelings. They did what was needed to get the job done and keep it fun for everyone. God
I think Winter was in protection mode. He was letting the guy lingering in the background know that he was aware of him and not to mess with the tiny groomer lady.
The defining trait of a guard breed is distrust for strangers. You have to be introduced and get their approval or they won't want you around, as you see here. It's also possible the dog didn't like seeing his reflection in the camera lens. Some animals are crazy about that.
@2:57 that sniffing is the Pyr version of a very affectionate kiss 🤣 I agree with the others, he was guarding you. They equate small humans (especially children) to their flock. Sometimes they think small adult humans are included in there. You're small enough to count 🤣🤣

Definitely a Pyrenees and giant breed trait being aloof of strangers and particularly men. My male irish wolfhound used to literally drag me to greet ladies but would growl at men who directly apprached to pet him. Walked him once in downtown Toronto to visit my daughter and the sidewalk parted in front of me like the red sea. He was very gentle though and sure miss him. They dont live long enough but like any dog, love them and give them a good life while you have them. Also, be informed and know what you are getting. Great job Vanessa.
My English mastiff is the same way and he has been socialized to men from the very beginning! He doesn't growl, but he does place his body between us and stares at them until they back up at least 2 feet from us. I'm sorry for your loss. Irish Wolfhounds are such wonderful dogs!
I held a make Irish wolfhound, and a female, while filming a movie. What I learned is that if a make Irish wolfhound wants to go THAT WAY, no force I was capable of would restrain him.
I remember crowds parting for my very missed dog, too. My Old English Sheepdog would decide if someone was going to fuss him, they never got to make the decision, even if they had no intention of petting a strange dog (he thought pretty much everyone should fuss him, but he made a beeline to some strangers). Being the good herder that he was, and very big for his breed, they didn't stand a chance. Kids were the best- he looked like a giant walking teddy bear, and from a distance they would be desperate to get to him, but they were reluctant when they realised he was twice their size, but he loved kids and was good at showing them how non-scary he was. He had a fan club of young teens that we would pass on the way to the park who would call him and get their fusses. He was the gentlest, fluffiest, funniest and most loving dog there ever was, and in his whole life he only took exception to one man who knocked on the door. Bennie was NOT going to let that man in the house. The guy seemed fine to me, but I trusted Bennie's instincts. Bennie took my whole heart with him, and I miss him every single day.

That little patch over Winter's right eye is for scanning people's stats. He usually needs to assess the friendliness of strangers numerically, which can take some time to compute.
The way he's so nice and gentle to you (even when touching his paws) while staring daggers at the cameraman is making me lose it 😭 He's like "I don't like you man this is my woman now"
Guard breed trait. You're either family, or the rest of the world. Vanessa is family (probably because she played with him) and cameraman is Outsider. Ruff ruff ruff, I've got my eye on you, don't think you can sneak up on me, etc. That's a distinct kind of defensiveness. Once you're able to recognize it and differentiate it from genuinely mean or personally territorial dogs, it's actually pretty cute and very easy to fix. He's like some kind of a medieval town guard, just trying to be a good boy and keep strangers away. Once you're properly introduced the dog will remember you for a long time and give you zero trouble (if it's properly bred and trained).
As a great Pyr owner I can tell you he is barking at the camera man because he is a man who is a lot bigger than you. He is protecting you because you are small and female, they do not take their eyes off the threat, no cookies, no distractions. Good job both of you ❤️
True, my Montagne des Pyrénées didn't feel the need to protect me. He thought I could take care of myself, as I could carry him to the vet when he didn't want to go. I weigh 70 kg, so I beat him by 10 kg. But who would annoy you when you walk with him ? One boutique employee on the freeway said "Hey, you can't go in there with a dog". I replied "it's not a dog, it's a bear."
My border collie/retriever mix had the same reaction with my Mom. When Mom was around, she would yell "Beware!" to anyone who came near. With me, she was dead silent. I legit turned around once, gave her a firm stare and said "I am VERY disappointed in you." LOL! I miss her.
I have no experience or knowledge but the first thing I thought was he was barking at the man, if the camera man was a female stranger I don't think he would bark, which obviously means he's not barking at strangers but just men, like you said being a protector against a larger threat, I'm suprised the owner doesn't know this or has worked it out for themselves
I think Winter saw the camera as a dangerous object - hence the hostility towards its handler. And the subsequent protectiveness towards Vanessa. “I’m gonna protecc you from that dangerous thingy!” What a sweetheart.❤
Very possible, but some male dogs also just don't trust men. Especially when not neutered. Testosterone and whatever else they pick up on, can be a sign of competition/danger. But Winter wasn't dangerous. He just would have preferred the camera man to stay away.
Just speculation but it might be something not well understood by most people, such as how sometimes people are born and know something their deceased family members knew, and claim to be the same person as the deceased, and even prove to know true memories and events of the deceased family member, but a dog version, and the only thing his memories can identify or associate with a person holding a camera or cameraphone is a person holding a gun and looking through a scope perhaps. When I was much much younger, I actually got tackled and pounced on by a neighbor's very large dog who did not like that I was acting out taking pictures of her using a pencilbox as the "camera" while we were playing make believe. He didn't bite me or anything, just knocked me down and stood on my body a bit. He thought he was protecting her.
Interesting! That makes a lot of sense. I didn't consider that angle. Hmm, now that I think about it, the lens would be reflective to some extent to the dog's eyes and he might either associate that with a nocturnal predator, or he might have seen himself in the lens' reflection and reacted as if it was another dog the same size as him. So then, with the way he was eyeballing the camera, the reflection would be as if the "dog" in the lens' reflection would be doing the same to Winter. That would also explain the side eyeing he was doing too. Thanks, Frosty. You helped me to think in a way that allowed me to think and perceive things in a way to make more sense of the world we live in and the behaviors of the creatures in it and I was able to share that with others here for those who may appreciate it. I greatly appreciate that. May the Heavenly Father bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ if it be the Father's will, or cheers, if a secular greeting is preferred. Take care.
One of my neighbors pulled up when I was getting my mail once, and the German shepherd dog (or Alsatian, if you would rather) in the back seat of his pickup truck just about came unglued. He Didn't Like Me. At All. I did a snap read of his owner, who was trying vainly to calm the dog down (which told me this was unusual behavior for the dog), and took my sunglasses off. And in just those few seconds it took for me to take my sunglasses off, that dog became my bestest bud in the whole world. I'm guessing he couldn't see my eyes and got a little perturbed.
As someone who was adopted by a pack of Pyrenean Mountain Dogs - especially the mother of the pack - he definitely thought he had to protect you from the camera man.
Though he was clearly distrusting of the cameraman, it seemed like Winter was exceptionally cooperative for the actual grooming process! For him to be so well behaved about the cleaning, drying, and clipping when he's that huge and you're down a helper makes all the difference. What a good boy!!
I love that he was aiming kisses at you and giving the cameraman the side eye at the same time. Also very happy that Winter's human was upfront about his (Winter's that is - damn pronouns) behavior with strangers. He was such a good boy!
I have heard of dogs not being crazy about tall people. A vet told me that a dog she has was afraid of anyone over 5'10". So me,who likes dogs,would be scary at 6'2".
Real respect to you for not filming in a way that bothered him. That shows real dedication to the dogs well-being. I wish I lived closer so I could bring my dog to you
Winter is the first to call out the cameraman for filming him while showering 😅😅 I mean I totally get it. No one wants to be filmed while bathing 😂 in some situations that's technically a crime 😂😂😂
That is one big and beautiful beast. *So fluffy.* We had a dog when I was a kid who did not like my grandfather. He’d welcome everyone else, but he would plant his feet and bark at Grandpa. We finally figured out the dog didn’t like the hat my grandfather always wore. Dogs are weird, but life just isn’t the same without one.
"I can only tolerate one hooman at a time cameraman, and your one too many!!" says Winter. Like the black fur on side of right eye. Very distinguished pooch, his own personal look. 👍🏻😊🐶
I once became friends with a dog like that. Neighbor's dog barked at me for a year until he suddenly decided I wasn't scary anymore. He turned out incredibly sweet and lovable 😍💕
Those weren't outright aggressive barks, those were woofs, so he seems like a really good boy who just has some nervousness about new people, as the owner said. If he could see the cameraman more often (and without the camera), I'm sure they could become great friends.
So if you we're the dog you'd act "normal" to someone holds a suspicious black thingy at you While recording you with you not knowing or even giving consent?
He was not feeling the cameraman. I’m glad you guys respected his feelings and let him dictate the bath. I can’t imagine what would happen if he became aggressive. Also, I love the way you talk to him “excuse me I need to brush that thank you “😂😂😂
@Farmer Fpv ik, it's a joke playing off the title, like if some shows a strong dislike of cake and you say "you guys... idk about you, but i don't think this person likes cake"
Winter is a handsome guy. I'm glad that you accommodated his feelings and filmed differently. The dog's comfort is more important than our entertainment. I must say I recently had an encounter with a Great Pyrenees dog and it was uncomfortable. He barked nonstop to warn of my presence. He was doing his job but he kept a close eye on me and what I was doing. I was dropping off a load of pet food at an animal rescue but I got the stink eye the entire time I was unloading. Thank you for explaining more about each breed. I could understand why he was barking when normally dogs love me.
They are herding dogs who protect prey animals at farms so they’re naturally protective and eager to alert to predators or danger! Don’t take it personally lol
I think that Winter seriously thought that the camera man was a threat to you hahaha. I think he is just smart seeing you being so small and then becoming protective over you.
Im a dog psychologist just like 95% of people in the comment section and i can tell you the dog was acting that way because the camera man is a evil person.
Well imagine you're guarding a herd of sheep and a predator is just staring at you for many minutes. The natural assumption is that he's thinking about attacking. A cameraman probably invokes those feelings.
Now THAT was a big dog bark!! Winter is a gorgeous dog and he seems pretty laid back. I think he was really enjoying the towel dry down. You didn't indicate a big amount of fur as you groomed him?? I would have expected a pillow full?? Those paws looked like bear paws. How long to groom that ball of fluff?? Have a nice day.
OMG what a handsome floofy boy! I bet he's just a big lovebug when he gets used to you but I wonder if he just doesn't like men that much. I've glad y'all were able to keep him comfortable and cooperative. :)
That crossed my mind too. Maybe he trusted her because he was handed over to her by the owner directly, but the weird man who was waiting for them triggered stranger danger. Also, dogs can just have gender preferences about people. I know a woman whose dog is naturally suspicious of men and women with deep voices but likes women automatically.
@@current9300 my old basset hound was like that too! She attacked most unknown men when i walked her, but she was fine with women and children. My parents weren't worried when i went out because they knew she'd protect me
Maybe he was a bluffer. His barks meant " hold me back, just let me at him", when in reality, he'd only do more barking. lol But, he's too big to challenge that assumption. lol
@@KindCountsDeb3773 yes people are always afraid of my great pyr, but i know if they ran at him he would just run away. Definitely a bluff. If you're a coyote or a bob cat tho... Gods speed
What a good boy, Winter!! Doin exactly what Pyr should do and sounding the alarm! He's a beauty, I bet he's a love bug with his people, he has super soft eyes even when hes sounding off
I could tell just by his look alone that this boy had some Great Pyrenees in his blood. Always glancing sidewards, never loosing sight of what he perceives to be suspicious with a stubborn insistence. Many people come across mine and think he's always that moody, but I always remind them that once those eyes look at you with confort, your heart will melt.
It's so great to be learning more about dog breeds and then see examples in your videos. I was so certain that was a Pyrenees mix with the coat and his eagerness to bark and be protective. Such a sweet massive boy.
Look at his size and the size of his paw and mouth, I’m always impressed by people who own giant dogs like him. I’m pretty scared of big dogs because of past experiences. I used to live in Greece where there’s lots of strays and I had to walk back home alone after elementary school and it was always traumatic when I would bump into one of the huge dogs and they would start chasing me and barking at me and clawing lol
That would scare anyone and I love dogs! I hear European strays can be ruthless lol they firm packs quick. I hope you find a pup someday that shows you they’re not all scary ❤
I've alwayse woend large dogs, my smallest was a Boxer and so far my largest was a bull mastiff who topped out at damn near 200lbs and on his hind legs was over 6ft tall, big doggies are so calm and fun to play with and i love em cause they are a dog you can auctually PLAY with and wrestle
I am currently in a wheelchair and the other day I was talking to a neighbor who has a beautiful mastiff. This guy is a total cuddle bug and always greets me with big sloppy kisses. But someone walked up behind my chair and I hadn’t even looked around before the dog lunged and growled! We apologized to the passerby, but it’s just an example of how these big dogs are very protective, but absolutely love the humans they are accustomed to!
I think his protective pyr side came out with you! He decided you were a part of his flock and camera man looked sus lol. I really clear example of both sides of the great Pyrenees personality. When you are their person they are so patient, cuddly and mellow but with new people definitely some distrust until vetted properly. 😂

I think Winter was in protection mode. He was letting the guy lingering in the background know that he was aware of him and not to mess with the tiny groomer lady.

Thanks, Frosty. You helped me to think in a way that allowed me to think and perceive things in a way to make more sense of the world we live in and the behaviors of the creatures in it and I was able to share that with others here for those who may appreciate it. I greatly appreciate that.
May the Heavenly Father bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ if it be the Father's will, or cheers, if a secular greeting is preferred.
Take care.
One of my neighbors pulled up when I was getting my mail once, and the German shepherd dog (or Alsatian, if you would rather) in the back seat of his pickup truck just about came unglued. He Didn't Like Me. At All. I did a snap read of his owner, who was trying vainly to calm the dog down (which told me this was unusual behavior for the dog), and took my sunglasses off. And in just those few seconds it took for me to take my sunglasses off, that dog became my bestest bud in the whole world. I'm guessing he couldn't see my eyes and got a little perturbed.
Those aren't paws, those a frying pans. lol I love how nice he was toward you.
Haha you've made me imagine Winter frying eggs on his paw. Lol
As someone who was adopted by a pack of Pyrenean Mountain Dogs - especially the mother of the pack - he definitely thought he had to protect you from the camera man.
Though he was clearly distrusting of the cameraman, it seemed like Winter was exceptionally cooperative for the actual grooming process! For him to be so well behaved about the cleaning, drying, and clipping when he's that huge and you're down a helper makes all the difference. What a good boy!!
I love that he was aiming kisses at you and giving the cameraman the side eye at the same time. Also very happy that Winter's human was upfront about his (Winter's that is - damn pronouns) behavior with strangers. He was such a good boy!
Being 4’8” myself-I think your size theory is correct. I’ve never had a big dog be nervous around me…because, who fears a squeaky toy? 😂❤
5'3" and I agree. Even the littlest bebe dog isn't intimidated by me.
I have the same theory about why all kids seem to like me. They think im one of them....i guess thete had to be some benifits to being small.😁
@@bchang3298 good things come in small packages. Remember that.
@@parkerbrown-nesbit1747 Yeah good things 😏
I have heard of dogs not being crazy about tall people. A vet told me that a dog she has was afraid of anyone over 5'10".
So me,who likes dogs,would be scary at 6'2".
When the camera tried to pan to his toes and he barked like "eyes up here, buddy" I definitely laughed.
Thanks for viewing, hit me up, I got a surprise for you 🎉.🐕🦺.🎁
You've found the reason. Winter is insecure about his paws. That's why he got mad at the cameraman.
I've never seen a dog so aggressively side-eye someone as this one at 0:20. 🤣🤣
Real respect to you for not filming in a way that bothered him. That shows real dedication to the dogs well-being. I wish I lived closer so I could bring my dog to you
Winter is the first to call out the cameraman for filming him while showering 😅😅 I mean I totally get it. No one wants to be filmed while bathing 😂 in some situations that's technically a crime 😂😂😂
🤣😅🤣
He’s like, “eyes up here buddy!” 😠
Nah he was already barking at him before that
@@fenixlavande4755 “you’re violating my rights!”
@Peter K. he was already familiar with their content, he knew what was up.
That is one big and beautiful beast. *So fluffy.*
We had a dog when I was a kid who did not like my grandfather. He’d welcome everyone else, but he would plant his feet and bark at Grandpa. We finally figured out the dog didn’t like the hat my grandfather always wore. Dogs are weird, but life just isn’t the same without one.
Omg that's hilarious 😂
Reminds me of Rex the cyber dog from Fallout - "he doesn't like hats, or the people wearing them."
He's like a small polar bear!!! What a cutie!!! 🐻❄️
A smolar bear, if you will...
@@caseyhart9916 That big doggo reminds me of a Bandersnatch off of final fantasy 9!😂
@@FluttershyFanboy or that big white fluffy boy from Beyond Good & Evil
@@caseyhart9916 That is way too good.
"I can only tolerate one hooman at a time cameraman, and your one too many!!" says Winter. Like the black fur on side of right eye. Very distinguished pooch, his own personal look. 👍🏻😊🐶
I love his face. He looks like a gentle giant.
Unless you’re a camera man
I once became friends with a dog like that. Neighbor's dog barked at me for a year until he suddenly decided I wasn't scary anymore. He turned out incredibly sweet and lovable 😍💕
Those weren't outright aggressive barks, those were woofs, so he seems like a really good boy who just has some nervousness about new people, as the owner said. If he could see the cameraman more often (and without the camera), I'm sure they could become great friends.
Winter is like “you know this guy? Don’t worry, I’ll protect you small lady. He shall do nothing to you while I’m here!”
He was rude to the cameraman, but also looked to be exceptionally well behaved for the bathing and trimming. Lucky, to be frank
So if you we're the dog you'd act "normal" to someone holds a suspicious black thingy at you
While recording you with you not knowing or even giving consent?
I love how he curled around you, when he could, to defend you from the evil CameraMan! :)
He is jealous of the cameraman, he wants all the cuddles for himself
Yep Winter was saying what's mine is mine, what's yours is negotiable.
My thought exactly
Nah, that is a working dog. Not jealousy, protectiveness
@@CaribouOrange it was a joke, I said it because the cameraman is her boyfriend
You are literally the tiny warrior! you handle the toughest and scaryest as well as the fluffyest and softest dogs. you have a good heart.
. . . i might be a tall person :P (5'11)
HE'S SO FLUFFY I COULD DIE!!!!
🤗😆😆😆😆😆
By far, one of my favorites on the channel. Winter is such a cutie 💓 ❤
He was not feeling the cameraman. I’m glad you guys respected his feelings and let him dictate the bath. I can’t imagine what would happen if he became aggressive. Also, I love the way you talk to him “excuse me I need to brush that thank you “😂😂😂
Vanessa is always polite -- first.
If he wanted to be aggressive he could just lay down on the human pin him to the ground and take a nap. Lol
My GSD-Husky is like that, he is more likely to move if I say "excuse me, please" than if I say move. He is a polite doggo.
@@gnic76 my GSD is the same. Matter of fact she won’t move if I say anything else other than excuse me 😂
“I demand my privacy, away from the eyes of the pawparazzi.”
pawparazzi 😂😂😂👍👍👍
He reminded me so much of my Great Pyranees. Loved that dog so much. Great protector. Saved my life when a cougar was in my yard.
This dog is so likable. So cooperative and so guant. 😘 He likes you. I think he sees a cameraman as threat to his moments with you. 😂
I see winter is not the biggest fan of the cameraman 😅 also he is so cute and fluffy
She literally says that in the video, duh, lol.
@Farmer Fpv ik, it's a joke playing off the title, like if some shows a strong dislike of cake and you say "you guys... idk about you, but i don't think this person likes cake"
Who, the cameraman? 😉
Winter is a handsome guy. I'm glad that you accommodated his feelings and filmed differently. The dog's comfort is more important than our entertainment. I must say I recently had an encounter with a Great Pyrenees dog and it was uncomfortable. He barked nonstop to warn of my presence. He was doing his job but he kept a close eye on me and what I was doing. I was dropping off a load of pet food at an animal rescue but I got the stink eye the entire time I was unloading. Thank you for explaining more about each breed. I could understand why he was barking when normally dogs love me.
They are herding dogs who protect prey animals at farms so they’re naturally protective and eager to alert to predators or danger! Don’t take it personally lol
His gentleness with you melted my heart. He may be weary of strangers but his comfort with you is adorable. LOVED this. ❤
Watch out for that camera man as this sweet huge mountain of fur "sees" the soul of this guy as most good dogs DO ❤
Winter is absolutely beautiful and I love that he’s a little bit shady 😂
I think that Winter seriously thought that the camera man was a threat to you hahaha. I think he is just smart seeing you being so small and then becoming protective over you.
Im a dog psychologist just like 95% of people in the comment section and i can tell you the dog was acting that way because the camera man is a evil person.
Well imagine you're guarding a herd of sheep and a predator is just staring at you for many minutes. The natural assumption is that he's thinking about attacking. A cameraman probably invokes those feelings.
Now THAT was a big dog bark!! Winter is a gorgeous dog and he seems pretty laid back. I think he was really enjoying the towel dry down. You didn't indicate a big amount of fur as you groomed him?? I would have expected a pillow full?? Those paws looked like bear paws. How long to groom that ball of fluff?? Have a nice day.
When a cute dog is on screen, you click it
He's so freaking adorable.... that eye stripe is amazing ...and he loves you Vanessa .
He is huge and gorgeous! WOW! Cuddles and snuggles for sure....if he doesn't eat you first.
Omg he’s so fluffy!!
Winter is such a big, beautiful baby! And he's such a heckin' good protector! ❤️
OMG what a handsome floofy boy! I bet he's just a big lovebug when he gets used to you but I wonder if he just doesn't like men that much. I've glad y'all were able to keep him comfortable and cooperative. :)
His little eyes at the camera man are so cute. He is like "im still looking at you, im not going to be tricked"
He was protecting her from a big, scary man who was holding a big, scary thing. What a good boy.
EDIT: WTF did this reply section turned into? 😱
That crossed my mind too. Maybe he trusted her because he was handed over to her by the owner directly, but the weird man who was waiting for them triggered stranger danger.
Also, dogs can just have gender preferences about people. I know a woman whose dog is naturally suspicious of men and women with deep voices but likes women automatically.
@@current9300 Oh dam, keep that dog away from the alphabet group. It's no doubt going to misgender, deadname and trigger all over the place.
@@current9300 my old basset hound was like that too! She attacked most unknown men when i walked her, but she was fine with women and children. My parents weren't worried when i went out because they knew she'd protect me
@@kristoffer8609 Thanks for letting us all know that you're a piece of shit!
@@dove_annarchie6787 my cat hated men, no reason to, never mistreated by a man, just did not like them
I love that he would bark at the camera man and then turn to you and be sweet. Like he was saying that he wouldn't hurt you ever so don't worry.
1:28 this giant pupper looks like a delicious ice cream sundae
With some chocolate ❤
Oh my goodness Winter is absolutely beautiful! What a sweetheart ❤. He is all white except his one eye and his ears. What an absolute doll.
Winter does not consent to being filmed! Seriously, so beautiful. I enjoyed his personality and love the patches of color around his coat. ❤️💜
He is so mellow with the groomer but so fierce against the cameraman. Biggest fluffy bear from Winter.
Maybe he was a bluffer. His barks meant " hold me back, just let me at him", when in reality, he'd only do more barking. lol But, he's too big to challenge that assumption. lol
@@KindCountsDeb3773 yes people are always afraid of my great pyr, but i know if they ran at him he would just run away. Definitely a bluff. If you're a coyote or a bob cat tho... Gods speed
So sweet and gentle with you! Yet so guarded against the cameraman. Really showing personality traits from both breeds there!
Winter decided that you were one of his people and was protecting you from the cameraman.
2:31 I caught that shade you threw at that poor cameraman lmao
What a good boy, Winter!! Doin exactly what Pyr should do and sounding the alarm! He's a beauty, I bet he's a love bug with his people, he has super soft eyes even when hes sounding off
You made him look very handsome.
It's your spirit, animals can tell when they are loved and cared for
Winter is a beautiful pup, who uses his words to voice his opinion. He's a good fluffy boy. He looks like a polar bear.
Oooh how he judges the cameraman but loves on you! So cute!
He knows that Vanessa is no threat, even with her air pistol and other weapons. The cameraman however is suspected.
3:30 “if I have to tell you again, cameraman!” 😆
Well, he's a guardian, mistrust of strangers is a good move on his part.
Lol he looks at you at one point like “see, I’m protecting you from that cameraman over there”
Winter is absolutely gorgeous. He is so "doggish" looking. His face tells his whole story. He hates the camera man but loves the rest of the world.
He's like " don't get too close, I protect my groomer "❤
I could tell just by his look alone that this boy had some Great Pyrenees in his blood. Always glancing sidewards, never loosing sight of what he perceives to be suspicious with a stubborn insistence. Many people come across mine and think he's always that moody, but I always remind them that once those eyes look at you with confort, your heart will melt.
I think Winter was more wary than weary. What a beautiful big bear of a dog!
To be fair, I don't want a cameraman filming me when I take a shower either. Strong side eye game though.
It's so great to be learning more about dog breeds and then see examples in your videos. I was so certain that was a Pyrenees mix with the coat and his eagerness to bark and be protective. Such a sweet massive boy.
Look at his size and the size of his paw and mouth, I’m always impressed by people who own giant dogs like him. I’m pretty scared of big dogs because of past experiences. I used to live in Greece where there’s lots of strays and I had to walk back home alone after elementary school and it was always traumatic when I would bump into one of the huge dogs and they would start chasing me and barking at me and clawing lol
I'm sorry that happened to you. Hope you don't have to do that these days
That would scare anyone and I love dogs! I hear European strays can be ruthless lol they firm packs quick.
I hope you find a pup someday that shows you they’re not all scary ❤
I've alwayse woend large dogs, my smallest was a Boxer and so far my largest was a bull mastiff who topped out at damn near 200lbs and on his hind legs was over 6ft tall, big doggies are so calm and fun to play with and i love em cause they are a dog you can auctually PLAY with and wrestle
No matter how often the cameraman says 'It's okay', it's still not okay 🤭
Beautiful dog!
I love his bark. It's full-bodied!!
I am currently in a wheelchair and the other day I was talking to a neighbor who has a beautiful mastiff.
This guy is a total cuddle bug and always greets me with big sloppy kisses. But someone walked up behind my chair and I hadn’t even looked around before the dog lunged and growled!
We apologized to the passerby, but it’s just an example of how these big dogs are very protective, but absolutely love the humans they are accustomed to!
I think his protective pyr side came out with you! He decided you were a part of his flock and camera man looked sus lol. I really clear example of both sides of the great Pyrenees personality. When you are their person they are so patient, cuddly and mellow but with new people definitely some distrust until vetted properly. 😂
