Espinay Pyrenean Mountain Dogs is a dedicated small kennel located in the picturesque countryside near Gunning, New South Wales, Australia. With a commitment to “putting the Breed before breeding,” we have been living with and loving Pyrenean Mountain Dogs since 1994. Our focus is on breeding sound, healthy dogs that excel in various roles, including family companions, livestock guardians, therapy dogs, and show dogs. We are registered breeders with Dogs NSW (Dogs NSW Member 2100010488), ensuring that our breeding practices adhere to the highest standards of health and breed integrity.
At Espinay, we prioritize the health and well-being of our dogs through rigorous health testing before breeding. This includes x-rays and scoring for hip and elbow dysplasia, examinations for patella luxation, eye and heart certifications, and DNA testing for Neuronal Degeneration and Degenerative Myelopathy. Our dogs thrive in a nurturing environment, living alongside our family, poultry, and livestock, while also engaging in various activities that promote their natural instincts and abilities.
Our passion for the Pyrenean Mountain Dog breed is reflected in our extensive involvement in the dog community, including participation in obedience, agility, and conformation showing. We believe in a global perspective on breeding, having attended international events to learn and share knowledge about the breed. Espinay Pyrenean Mountain Dogs is not just a kennel; it is a lifelong commitment to preserving the legacy of this magnificent breed. We welcome inquiries and are happy to share our knowledge and experiences with fellow dog lovers.
