Our Great Pyrenees & Maremma Guardians 2025 – Updated!

We still have Sam the twitchy cat, and naturally still a Packers fan of course. Damn he looks cool in that toque! Sam is supposed to keep the house in check meaning free of bugs. Sam is clearly not pulling his weight sometimes. Apparently, his sole purpose in life is treat acquisition, scratches, and gravy filled lunches!

There are 3 dogs that keep watch on the property and yes, they are named after Star Wars characters (thanks to Colin). They are all Great Pyrenees & Maremma breed dogs.

Luke is the elder and has his own grumpy style of keeping watch. If there is anything new, he lets everyone know he doesn’t like it and he can see things that you can’t. He simply knows and is obviously using the force.

Solo is the largest of the dogs and his bark can definitely make you stop and consider your next 10 moves carefully. Loveable and protective, he definitely uses his size to bully through the others to get a prime spot for scratches! Solo is also the Dad to Rey!

Rey ironically has many of the characteristics of the actual Star Wars character. Rey LOVES her face scratched and is very gentle like her Mom did. Rey is definitely an independent soul in conflict and always craves that human contact. She just loves attention for sure.
