Our Policy

Chad and Susan do not "sell" dogs.
They strive to find perfect homes for Pyr's
that will make perfect companion dogs.
If you want to look at a litter, pick out
a puppy, wrap it up and take it home all
in one day, you?ve come to the wrong place.
Adopting one of their Pyr's takes some time.
They want to get to know you, they want you
to get to know the breed, and they want you
to get to know each Pyr as well as what your
getting into. Finally, your Pyr will be "matched"
to you. Chad and Susan are known to excel at
matching the right boy or girl to the right family.
Schonberg Great Pyrenees is not a "prolific"
breeder. It took 13 years for them to find the
right combination before having their first litter.
Healthy, vibrant, companions are the goal.
So whether you are looking for your first Pyr puppy,
an addition/playmate for your existing Pyr, or an
older Pyr to fit your lifestyle, please contact
Chad and Susan to inquire about what might be available.
If nothing is available, they stand ready to refer you
to healthy, sound Pyr's that are available for adoption.

Now for the nitty gritty... There are many details in adopting
a Schonberg baby, and there will be many questions asked and
answered throughout your inquiry. Here are some basic details
