Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Moderate

Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.

Energy

Moderate to very high

Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.

Trainability

Moderate

The Rottweiler rates moderate and the Great Pyrenees low; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Low

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

The Rottweiler is usually described as loyal, loving, confident guardian. The Great Pyrenees as smart, patient, calm. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
