Purely anecdotal but I have been seeing more and more crossbreeding with Great Pyrenees. Take a big, strong, protective dog with a LGD mentality and crossbreed it with a breed with an aggressive temperament and you have a dog that can inflict some damage.

Also, you have more and more people getting a GP (or GP Cross) puppy - yes they are cute - as a “pet”.

Have had and been around pure bred GP’s all my life. Amazing dogs to watch do “their job”, but “pets” they are not.

I've owned GPs and Anatolian shepherds. We currently have one GP female 3yo who is curled up at my feet as I type this.

All three of our GP's were excellent pets, and the Anatolian was the best dog I have ever owned. They all have loved us fiercely and would not have hesitated for a millisecond to go to war to protect us. I would trust my grandkids around the LGD's more than I would trust them around most people.

LGD's can be pets, but you have owners that understand the breed's idiosyncrasies. They are unlike any other breed we've owned (English Mastiff, Lab, GSD)

I have a hard time believing that GP's are anywhere on this list, they are the most patient breed and never attack unprovoked; however, when they do go off...its FAFO time for the recipient.
