Great Pyrenees Stud Dog

Voltaire is a working, OFA health tested, AKC registered Great Pyrenees stud dog to approved bitches.

Livestock Guardian Dog Heritage
Voltaire has spent his life working as a Livestock Guardian Dog and the majority of his offspring went on to work as LGDs as well. Voltaire comes from a mix of conformation and working-line dogs that lived on and protected farms. Voltaire has strong guarding instincts, an unbreakable bond to family, and an excellent temperament.

Proven Stud
As of September 2023, Voltaire has sired six litters of puppies, with an average of 8 to 12 puppies per litter. With Voltaire you are getting a stud dog that has proven himself time and again. We are able to do live cover and chilled semen for artificial insemination at this point, but we are working on getting Voltaire collected and freezing some of his semen. The stud fee is $750 and comes with a guarantee. Contact for details.

Health Testing
Voltaire has been health tested with Embark Veterinary and the University of Minnesota for DNA genetic testing, and OFA tested for his hips, basic cardiac, elbows, and patellas. All results are registered with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. Voltaire is also qualified as part of the Canine Health Information Center (CHIC). His CHIC number is 160296. He is regularly tested for brucellosis as a canine blood donor as well.

What we Require from Bitch Owners
We do require proof of brucellosis testing prior to mating, as well as a current rabies vaccination. Your bitch should be up to date on all vaccines, dewormed, clean, and otherwise in good health. At a minimum we expect bitch owners to have PennHIP or OFA hip and elbow scores registered with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, though we encourage full CHIC testing. When reaching out please explain your breeding goals and plans so we can determine if this is a good fit.
