More: My husband is an avid fly fisherman and has dreamt of the perfect outdoor buddy to partake in his favorite hobby. I've always wanted a Pyrenees as my buddy to partake in snuggles. So I won in the breed selection this time around. However, Pyrenees are not known for their listening skills, retrieving skills, or off leash skills. My poor husband works tirelessly in training our pup, Espen, so that he can one day be an avid fly fisherpup as well.
