I am writing this letter to describe my experience with Great Pyrenees of South Mountain and Tim and Rhonda Barrett. My name is Jim St.Pierre and I live with my wife and two children.
We previously owned a Great Pyrenees mix and it was the best dog we had ever had. When it came time to get a new family pet, we knew we wanted a Great Pyrenees. I did quite a lot of research into the breed and different breeders both locally and in other areas. When I found Tim's website and saw the beautiful dogs in the pictures, I knew that he was the breeder for us. When I spoke to Tim on the phone, I was impressed by the time he took to talk to me and tell me about the dogs as well as his all around kindness. Many of the people I spoke to were not necessarily willing to take this kind of time and effort.
Although he did not have any puppies at the time, Tim agreed to let us come visit his place and meet the mother and father of the next litter as well as his other beautiful pets. My children, who are 4 and 2 years old, took immediately to the dogs and the dogs took immediately to them. Despite their size, they are very gentle animals and did not jump up or claw our kids. That was when we decided to leave a deposit for the next litter. (I might also add that Tim had a better price for his dogs than other breeders I talked too.)
In the following weeks, I spoke to Tim several times and he was always pleasant, patient and courteous with me and my questions. And when the pups were finally born, he called me and let me know, and made sure I got a good pick from the litter.
We were very excited when we went up to pick up our female pup who we named Cassie. She was a beautiful, furry little thing that we loved from the start. Cassie immediately became a part of our family. She plays very well with our kids, especially our 2 year old who is also in her playful "puppy" stage. She is a very intelligent and graceful animal that loves to roll over and have her belly scratched. I also like the way she lays at my feet when I am relaxing in the evening.
Since then, I have kept in contact with Tim and he even watched my dog for me once while we were out of town. I was very impressed with"Great Pyrenees of South Mountain" and the Barretts, and the whole experience we had and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a wonderful dog.
Sincerely,
Jim St.Pierre
