🐾 Great Pyrenees Puppies

What is the price of a Great Pyrenees puppy?

Our Great Pyrenees puppies are priced at $500. We require a $200 deposit to reserve your puppy, with the remaining balance due at pickup. The deposit is non-refundable but can be transferred to another available puppy if needed.

How do I reserve a puppy?

You can reserve a puppy directly from our Puppies page. Simply click "Reserve Now" on an available puppy, fill out the reservation form, and pay the $200 deposit through our secure Stripe payment system. You'll receive a confirmation email with all the details.

When can I pick up my puppy?

Puppies are typically ready to go home at 8 weeks of age. We'll contact you to schedule a pickup time that works for both of us. Pickup is at our farm in Great Falls, SC. We're happy to work with you to find a convenient time.

Are the puppies raised with livestock?

Yes! This is one of the most important aspects of our breeding program. Our puppies are raised with our chickens, goats, and mini Zebu cattle from birth. This early exposure helps develop their natural guardian instincts and ensures they're comfortable around livestock from day one.

What health guarantees do you provide?

We offer a comprehensive health guarantee on all our puppies. Please see our Health Guarantee page for complete details. All puppies receive their first vaccinations and deworming before going home, and we provide a health certificate with each puppy.

Can I visit the puppies before making a reservation?

Absolutely! We encourage visits by appointment. Please contact us at (843) 655-2621 or thehudstead@gmail.com to schedule a visit. This gives you a chance to meet the parents, see the puppies, and ask any questions in person.

Do you offer delivery or shipping?

We do not ship puppies. All puppies must be picked up at our farm in Great Falls, SC. We're happy to meet you at a convenient time, and we're located within driving distance for customers in South Carolina and North Carolina.

💳 Payment & Pricing

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept online payments through Stripe (credit/debit cards) for deposits and remaining balances. We also accept cash payments at pickup. If you need to make a manual payment or have questions about payment options, please contact us.

Is the deposit refundable?

The deposit is non-refundable, but it can be transferred to another available puppy if your original choice becomes unavailable or if you need to change your selection. We understand that circumstances can change, and we'll work with you to find a solution.

🥚 Farm Products

Our farm-fresh eggs are $5 per dozen. They're available at our roadside stand, which is open during our business hours. Our hens are free-range and enjoy a natural diet, resulting in eggs with rich yolks and excellent flavor.
